Lech has been a popular ski holiday destination for years amongst the European jet set and several royal families. Despite its luxurious image, it has retained its character and family-friendly atmosphere. It is a beautiful, authentically alpine village in a fairytale setting, with plenty of snow to boot. There are many fantastic hotels to choose from there, and several high-standard restaurants. As a result, you can expect Lech to be a little more expensive than other resorts in Austria, but the quality of the local facilities speak for themselves.
Lech is part of the Ski Arlberg region, which connects the village to others such as St. Anton and Flirsch. This fantastic ski area is a hotspot for true ski fanatics and many travellers make their pilgrimage to it each winter. In this snow-sure area you will not only find challenging slopes and ski routes, but also cosmopolitan ski resorts and an exuberant après-ski scene. It is known for its guaranteed snow, ensuring a long ski season and great snow conditions on the slopes. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers can all enjoy the diverse slopes from early December up until mid-April.
If you are a beginner skier or snowboarder, Lech and Zürs are the perfect resorts for practising, whereas St. Anton offers more of a challenge. In Flirsch, you will find a ski lift for beginners and intermediate skiers that is particularly suitable for children. With the punctual local ski bus service, you can explore the ski area to your heart’s content. If you book one of Sunweb’s ski deals, your ski pass for the entire Ski Arlberg region will be included!
