Fashionable Lech is simply one of the best resorts in Austria. The internationally famous village is dominated by a lovely 14th century church and river, high up in the Arlberg valley next to the tiny hamlet of Zürs, all surrounded by stunning peaks. Lech and neighbouring Zürs combine well-groomed pistes, deep snow and a fast and modern lift system with top hospitality and beautiful scenery. The extensive Arlberg ski-pass also covers the neighbouring resorts of Stuben, St.Christoph and St. Anton. If you don't ski in Lech there’s 20km of marked cross-country trails and winter footpaths. Apres ski is lively and 'foodies' will have as much fun off the slopes as on them as the resort has many award-winning restaurants.
