Lech Zürs is one of Austria’s most picturesque and prestigious ski resorts, nestled in the Arlberg region. It’s got that perfect balance of luxury and tradition - stunning mountain scenery, high-end hotels, world-class skiing - but without the flashy vibe you might expect. The village itself, originally an old agricultural settlement, maintains its traditional charm, with upmarket hotels built chalet-style and picturesque bridges crossing the river. It’s a favourite among royalty and celebrities, yet it still feels laid-back and welcoming. Unlike some of the bigger, busier resorts, Lech has a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for skiers who want great runs without the crowds.
Lech Zürs is part of the massive Ski Arlberg area, with over 300 km of groomed runs and 200 km of off-piste powder routes. Lech has a mix of wide, gentle slopes and more challenging terrain while Zürs, just next door, is famous for deep powder and off-piste adventures. For experts, Langer Zug is one of the steepest groomed runs in the world, hitting an insane 80% gradient at the top! The White Ring circuit is another must-do - a 22 km ski route connecting Lech, Zürs, Zug, and Oberlech, offering a great mix of runs and lifts to explore the whole area. Meanwhile Oberlech, a peaceful ski-in/ski-out village just above Lech, is a great option for families. The heart of the village is a short stretch of the main street along the river, where you’ll find the base station of the Rufikopf cable car, the gateway to exploring the Zürs slopes and beyond. Lech Zürs has something for everyone, and the skiing here is world-class.
After a day carving up the slopes in Lech Zürs, the après-ski scene here offers something other than the standard rowdy afterparty vibe. Lech Zürs has a well-earned reputation for fine dining and elegant après-ski - a more refined atmosphere where you can unwind in style. There are plenty of cosy spots offering a quiet corner to enjoy a glass of wine or a craft cocktail, and many of the ski huts and bars are located right on the slopes, making the transition from skiing to socialising easy. Just kick back on a sun-drenched terrace, soak in the panoramic mountain views, and share stories from the day's adventures. Live music is a staple in the après-ski scene here, with various venues hosting bands or DJs to keep the energy up as the sun sets. Whether you're in the mood for traditional alpine tunes or more contemporary beats, there's something to suit every taste. In Lech Zürs, the emphasis is on quality and ambience. Après-ski is less about wild partying and more about enjoying good company, excellent drinks, and the stunning alpine setting.
