Ski Arlberg – Austria‘s largest connected ski area

Lech Zürs is not only part of Austria ‘s largest connected ski area and one of the most extensive ski areas in the world, it is also extremely diverse and therefore equally popular with families , freeriders and ski tourers. Here you can find the right slope for almost every need. Anyone who has ever experienced Lech Zürs will be happy to return again and again.

The Arlberg comprises 305 kilometers of ski slopes, making it the largest contiguous ski area in Austria and the fifth largest in the world.

Lech Zürs stands for quality over quantity, for spaciousness and space. Not least because of this, it is very popular with families.

Many of our regular guests have known Lech Zürs from an early age, as they have already spent their winter holidays here with their parents and learned to ski on the Arlberg.

They are regarded as loyal guests who regularly come to Lech Zürs – meanwhile with their own children in their luggage and their grandparents as a particularly popular ski companion for the little ones.

Such is the family vacationon the Arlberg has meanwhile advanced to become a large family get-together for many of our regular guests, where the generations come together at least once a year.

The family hotels in Lech Zürs have specialized in exactly this and contribute to the success of these major family events.

As the largest contiguous ski area in Austria, winter sports fans can enjoy a total of 305 kilometers of ski runs on the Arlberg with the connecting lift that opened in winter 2016/17.

This clearly satisfies the sporting aspect of skiing. And physical well-being is also taken care of in our numerous ski huts and Alps. The free local and ski buses are also available as a convenient means of transport from early in the morning until late at night. You can safely leave your car in Lech Zürs.

Ever since Austria’s first T-bar lift brought a certain level of comfort to Lech Zürs, the Arlberg, the cradle of alpine skiing, has drawn skiers and snowboarders from near and far under its spell, winter after winter. Skiarlberg is one of the most snow-sure ski areas in the Alps, and between November and April you can indulge in alpine skiing without a care .

In addition to the perfectly groomed slopes for sporty, ambitious carvers, leisure skiers and families, ski tourers, deep snow skiers, freeriders and freeskiers have 200 km of high alpine deep snow runs available. With appropriate safety equipment – consisting of

• helmet
• Avalanche shovel

– Nothing stands in the way of the deep snow adventure. Nevertheless, we recommend that you only ski in the off-piste area with experienced ski guides. As proven experts, they will show you the best routes and slopes, depending on the weather and snow conditions. In addition to ski courses, the ski schools also offer ski guides who will familiarise you with the area safely and carefully. Skiing with real local guides is an experience that you will not forget!
