Oberlech
at 1,750 m » The Lech-Oberlech cable car (which leaves
from the centre of Lech opposite the church) provides fast and easy access
to the hotels of Oberlech. Service hours are from 7:00am to 1:00am. After
you arrive in Lech, tickets for your first ride up are waiting for you
at the valley station. Of course, we will take care of your luggage because
this is how a truly relaxed and easy vacation should start.
If you arrive by car, you will receive a ticket for your own parking
space in the underground parking garage just in front of the cable car
station. While you sit in the cable car enjoying the view, we will take
care of the rest. When you check into your hotel and go to your room,
your luggage will already be there.
A number of hotels and guest houses, which are not located in the centre
of Oberlech, can easily be reached by car all year around.
Traditions
» When the first skier, who happened to be the vicar of
Warth, wedeled his way across the Arlberg slopes more than 100 years ago,
no one would have ever imagined that the 700-year-old village would one
day turn into a world-famous ski resort. Lech and the towns of Oberlech,
Stubenbach, Zug and Zürs create a single large ski region with plenty
of variety, where ski runs end at your hotel door, and guests from all
over the world feel at home. Despite its international renown, Lech has
preserved its rural character, harmonious architecture, and homely, welcoming
atmosphere.
Ski
runs, ski routes, and open slopes spread between 1,450 and 2,800
metres above sea level. Cable cars, chair and drag lifts travel
between Rüfikopf, Madloch, Kriegerhorn and Mohnenfluh mountain, taking
winter guests to the most beautiful slopes of all degrees of difficulty
for skiers of all abilities. With 84 cable cars and lifts, 260 km of well-maintained
runs and 180 km of open slopes, there is plenty of variety for every skier.
The touch-free electronic "Arlberg-Skicard" is valid in the
Arlberg resorts of Lech, Zürs, Stuben, St. Anton, and St. Christoph.
There are also some 400 qualified skiing instructors available - masters
of their craft who are sought after all over the world. Snowboarders can
enjoy the Fun Park. There are also 26 km of cross country tracks, 15 km
of winter hiking trails, a natural toboggan run (floodlit in the evenings),
horse-drawn sleigh rides, and numerous other opportunities and events
throughout the season - ranging from Christmas markets to a snow polo
tournament.
Excellent
accommodation is available in every category. Numerous
wellness facilities ensure our guests' well-being. Restaurants, open-air
snow bars, indoor bars, and dancing will keep you entertained after your
day on the slopes. Despite all the modern amenities provided for guests,
environmental protection ranks high. Thanks to a tunnel system, Oberlech
is a traffic-free zone; the biomass heating plant generates heat for the
majority of the buildings in Lech; traffic restrictions in the resorts
and carefully planned car parking facilities have all helped to raise
the quality of life for both residents and visitors.
