Venue

The 1st Alpine School on Magnetics is hosted at the Ski Austria Academy in St. Christoph am Arlberg, the snow-sports competence centre of the Austrian Ski Association and a true hotspot for everyone who lives for the mountains. Perched at the top of the Arlberg pass, the academy combines modern lecture halls and seminar rooms with full-board accommodation, a fitness and regeneration world, and direct ski-in/ski-out access. From its doorstep, the legendary Arlberg region unfolds across the connected villages of St. Anton, St. Christoph, Lech, Zürs, and Stuben — together offering 88 lifts and 305 kilometres of marked slopes. It is an inspiring setting where rigorous science and alpine spirit meet, encouraging exchange far beyond the seminar room.
