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.
