About Lech

Together with neighbouring Zürs, the two resorts in the Arlberg mountain range are Austria's most exclusive. The holiday resort of Lech boasts a reliable annual snowfall that attracts those (who can afford it) to this charming little hamlet, who look forward to skiing as much as the energetic nightlife, often spent mingling with celebrities and royalty. 

Skiing: Although easily as popular for just hanging around the base, this part of the Arlberg Range, together with Zürs, boast some of the best intermediate skiing to be had in Europe. Snow reliability is one of main contributing factors to the success of this resort that, at 4,840ft (1,450m) offers skiers and riders the chance to ascend to almost 9,380ft (2,811m). The ski school is particularly good however often fills up early in the season with a number of private tutors being booked all winter. Lech is also home to the famous White Ring, which takes skiers on something of a tour through the area boasting some spectacular scenery, and is also the longest ski race in the world.
