For those who conquer the entire Run of Fame, a special award awaits at the end. With the help of the Ski Arlberg App, you can pass through the three checkpoints during the winter season: at the Hall of Fame in Zürs, and at the start/finish points in Warth (Dorfbahn valley station) and St. Anton (Rifflbahn II or I mountain station) and secure your personal gift – a "stocknagel" (ski badge) as a mark of honor. This stocknagel, proudly displayed on your ski pole, testifies to your successful completion of the longest ski circuit in the Alps. And for those who take on this challenge again and again, there is a new design for the stocknagel collection each year.

Whether you experience the Run of Fame as a day trip or take your time to explore each slope in depth – one thing is certain: the Run of Fame at Arlberg promises unforgettable experiences and unparalleled adventures in one of the most beautiful ski regions in the Alps.
