[6] The Arlberg Ski Club was founded in 1901 and the first race took place in 1904, before there were any lifts or prepared slopes.

Later, in 1931, the first of several films, Der Weiße Rausch, directed by Arnold Fanck, was made.

[7] n 1983, Michael Manhart invented the Arlberg Jet, a snowmaking machine used exclusively at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

[8][1] For the 2016/17 season, the 10-person Flexenbahn gondola lift opened between the Arlberg East and West areas.

It is the first combination lift installed in Vorarlberg and was manufactured by the Austrian-Swiss company Doppelmayr.
