Pettneu am Arlberg

Pettneu am Arlberg is a village in the Austrian Tyrol, located in the Stanzertal valley at the foot of the Verwall massif and the Arlberg Alps, not far from St Anton am Arlberg. This small mountain village, surrounded by coniferous forests and alpine meadows, offers a well-preserved natural setting ideal for a countryside stay. In winter, it forms part of the Ski Arlberg area, one of Austria's largest ski regions, providing access to slopes linked to St Anton, Stuben and Lech-Zürs, along with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails throughout the valley. In summer, the surrounding area is well suited to hiking and mountain biking, with paths leading up to alpine pastures and the peaks of the Verwall range, as well as climbing and paragliding for those seeking more adventurous pursuits. The village retains a distinctly Tyrolean character, with traditional timber chalets and a local parish church, set apart from the busier resorts nearby. Nestled in the valley floor along the Rosanna river, it serves as a peaceful base from which to explore the Arlberg region while enjoying an authentic, quiet atmosphere.
