The highest peak is the "Valluga" at 9216 feet. The name Arlberg derives from the tradition of the "Arlenburg," who are said to have once established themselves on the Tirolean side of the Arlberg passes (5,883 ft asl). Another story derives the name from the "Arlenbushes" that are very numerous here. There is no mountain with the name "Arlberg." Popular places and famous ski resorts at the Arlberg are Lech, Zürs, Stuben, St. Christoph und St. Anton.
