The resort is a collection of high-quality family-run hotels and whilst it isn’t cheap,

it provides access to some of the Alps’, if not the world’s, finest skiing. It is linked to neighbouring Zürs, as well as Warth-Schröcken 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 – 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 – 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 world’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. Zürich 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)
Zürich airport: 2 hours (driving)
Calais: approximately 12 hours driving (639 miles)

Season Dates

Opens: Wednesday 4 December 2024

Connections to the major resorts of the Arlberg ski area open and close at the same time.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 15/04

Spring conditions continue through this week for most Austrian areas, as the freezing line remains high – around 3,000m. This will change, however, as the weekend approaches, with more unsettled conditions bringing cooler temperatures and snow to much of the region.

Western reaches will see a brief flurry of snow on Thursday, mostly across higher ground. More unsettled weather will come in through the weekend, bringing snow to all elevations as the freezing line drops off a cliff; around 20cm can be expected across higher ground.

Further east, flurries of snow arrive all week, remaining on higher elevations thanks to a higher freezing line. In a similar chain of events, snow moves in over this weekend and will reach all elevations, albeit only half a foot or so.

Unsettled conditions and snowfall remain in play throughout the new week.
