Lech-Zurs Ski Resort village

Lech-Zurs / Village

Lech is the biggest and prettiest of the villages in Lechtal and in our view a more interesting place to stay than purpose-built Zürs.

The township of Lech-Zürs includes Lech, the surrounding satellite villages of Zug, Oberlech and Stubenbach (not to be confused with Stuben) and purpose-built Zürs. The original inhabitants of Lechtal bred cattle for dairy products until construction of the Flexen pass (1895-1900) and the formation of The Ski Club Arlberg (1901) (one of the world’s first ski clubs) heralded the beginning of ski tourism, pioneered by Stuben ski-legend Hannes Schneider, who devised the ‘Arlberg-technique’ and the stem-turn that contributed so significantly to the development of skiing as a sport. The first ski-lift in the area was constructed in Zürs in 1937.

Lech, which owes its name to the river flowing through its middle, is biggest and prettiest of the villages, and in our view a more interesting place to stay than Zürs, where there is less to do beyond the confines of your hotel besides skiing.
