The twin resorts of Lech and Zürs are ideal for couples and families. These resorts have an unwavering dedication to excellence and this is evident in the type of wealthy clientele they attract. You will find in the Arlberg ski area great 2/3-star hotels as well. The ski resorts of Lech (1,450m) and Zürs (1,716m) are geographically in the Vorarlberg region of Austria but are connected to St Anton, St Christoph, Stuben, Schroecken and Warth via the Flexenbahn and Auenfeldjet lifts. The twin resorts alongside the Klosterle’s Sonnenkopf ski area (a bus ride away), form the vast Arlberg ski territory, with plentiful lifts and slopes to excite skiers throughout their stay.
From snow-capped peaks and cashmere jumpers to calfskin trousers and crisp apple strudel, Lech is the stuff of white dreams – with the help of the gondola linking to neighbouring Warth-Schröcken, the snowiest region in the Alps.
