Best known for

Lech Zürs am Arlberg
One of the best ski areas of the world is situated in Austria, at the Arlberg at an altitude from 1300 to 2811 metres. The Arblerg is not a mountain but rather a mountain pass of the Alps connecting the federal Austrian states of Tirol and Vorarlberg. Winter athletes will only need one ski pass for the whole skiing area – the Arlberg-Card gives them access to a snow paradise with more than 80 inclines and lifts, 276 kilometres of slopes and 180 kilometres of deep snow runs.

Reviews

mattpetersonncsu

Lech has it all, amazing snow, great lift system, amazing restaurants and apre ski choices in Uberlech and elsewhere. We liked the interconnected lifts and ski runs to Warth, Stuben, St.Anton and Zuers that give you so many options on where to ski and ride. We love the many pensions and family-owned accommodations that we have stay at. Ski routes throughout the Lech and Zuers areas offer powder turns for better skiers and we love the many on-slope restaurants to select from when it’s time for a beer and food break. In the eventing there are a lot of casual and formal restaurants depending on your mood. We love that most of the upper mountain stays uncrossed and that you can ski all over the region on one lift ticket. I strongly suggest staying in a small, family run hotel or pension with a local family to get the most out of your trip to the Arlberg. The region gets tons of snow and the only downside can be the low visibility days above the tree line. It’s our favorite ski resort in Austria and a top 3 destination.
