You sure?.....How about investment in lift infrastructure? The lift system in EK hasn't had significant investment since the Alberville Olympics in early 90's has it? Arlberg is adding better infrastructure every year, eg Rauz/ Trittkopf/ Albona project 2016, soon after Galzigbahn, Rendl, Nasserein, Tanzbodenbahn, Auenfeldjet, Valfegehrbahn etc? List served freeride is IMO not as good in EK compared with Arlberg, there's much more hiking. Mountain restaurants are of a lower standard, ski guides and ski schools better, après is not on same page, and access via Alberville/ Moutiers/ Tarentaise funnel is a real pain compared with access from Bregenz or Munich. Also Arlberg lift pass is cheaper isn't it? |
I have not been back to Val since the kids started arriving 13 years ago. Back then I would say the lift infrastructure was about the same as Arlberg. I don't know how it has developed since. Anyway my main criterion for judging is not the lift infrastructure but rather the lift served off piste. When I think about Cugnay, Vallon De La Sache and Col Pers, to mention just a few, I want to jump in my car and drive over there. Sure the Arlberg has similar stuff, but I just happen to think the runs in EK are just a tad better.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Depends what you call "significant". There's a steady process of upgrading old slow lifts to new ones.
Speaking of reversion to the 90s I give you: Austria's smoke filled restaurants and bars.
