Lech am Arlberg – for snow, skiing and style there are few ski holiday resorts to match it anywhere
Lech am Arlberg lies between Zurs am Arlberg and Warth, the highest and second highest snowfall accumulation ski holiday resorts in the Alps. No surprise then that Lech gets drowned in snow each winter. The skiing is superb and the village immaculate and stylish. On top of all that Lech-Zurs are the only ski holiday resorts in Austria offering heli-skiing.
Lift linked to the neighbouring ski resort of Zurs, Lech sits high up in the dramatic mountains of the Arlberg, with a legendary snow record and some of the best ski terrain to be found in Austria. Lech shares a descent sized ski area with Zurs and the skiing caters well for all abilities up to the advanced skier. Lech is famed for its visitor luxuries including a highly impressive lift infrastructure and resort amenities.
The accommodation in Lech is geared toward high end hotels with a few budget choices. Similar to Zurs, the après ski tends to favour furs coats and terrace heaters. If dancing till dawn in ski boots is required then St Anton is the better choice. Similarly, if additional and more challenging terrain is desired then St Anton is on hand just down the valley.
