  • The resort is a collection of high-quality family-run hotels and whilst it isnโ€™t cheap,

    it provides access to some of the Alpsโ€™, if not the worldโ€™s, finest skiing. It is linked to neighbouring Zรผrs, as well as Warth-Schrรถcken and since 2016 to the legendary resort of St Anton. This gives access to 303km of linked pistes and a further 200km of ungroomed ski routes in the Ski Arlberg area, all of which are joined up by a great lift system that has seen constant investment in recent years.

    Pros and cons

    • Excellent snow record
    • Part of Austria’s largest ski area โ€“ covering 306km of pistes
    • Lots of great, high-end accommodation
    • Expensive, especially by Austrian standards
    • Treeless slopes can suffer in bad weather and links can close
    • Getting all the way to St Anton takes time

    On the Slopes

    From the steeps of Valluga above St Anton to the cruisey blues above Oberlech there is something for everyone.

    For beginners there are some great learning areas on the edge of Lech and also Oberlech just above the main village. Progression on to longer blues is excellent and confident learners will quickly be able to explore more and more of the area. For intermediates the choice is almost limitless โ€“ there are 255km of immaculately groomed blues and reds in the Ski Arlberg, of which the long, shady reds above Stuben are our favourite. On powder days experts will be treated to some of the worldโ€™s best lift-served off piste, but if steep pistes are your thing, head to the Saloberkopf above Warth.

    Getting to Lech

    Innsbruck and Friedrichshafen airports are equidistant and the drive takes around an hour an a half. Zรผrich is a little further away, but on a good run, the resort can be reached in around two hours.
    • Innsbruck airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
    • Friedrichshafen airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
    • Zรผrich airport: 2 hours (driving)
    • Calais: approximately 12 hours driving (639 miles)
