Lech-Zurs Ski Resort

Perfect for families and couples, the twin resorts of Lech and Zürs share an uncompromising commitment to quality. The predominantly wealthy clientele can enjoy refined high life but there’s also good quality 2- and 3- star accommodation in this quiet corner of Austria’s best ski region.

Though geographically in Vorarlberg, the exclusive ski resorts Lech (1,450 m/4,757 ft) and Zürs (1,716 m/5,630 ft) share a linked ski area that’s part of the mighty Arlberg ski domain. Excellent snow-sure skiing and abundant top quality hotels, including great ski-in ski-out accommodation at Oberlech (1,660 m/5,446 ft), ensures that around 70% of guests return year after year. The majority of visitors are from Germany (50%), Austria, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the UK.
