Why Lech Zürs am Arlberg is Highly Rated for Intermediate Skiers

Lech Zürs am Arlberg shines as the Best Resort for Intermediate Skiers - Europe 2025, meriting them our gold award. With a 4.73/5.00 rating, the resort offers exceptional progression opportunities across its expansive network of perfectly groomed slopes. Our reviewers consistently praise the wide variety of blue runs that build confidence – like Run 145, which Snomad user Gary describes as "a great blue warm up run especially in the morning, often empty." The terrain naturally encourages skill development with its mix of gradients and challenges that aren't overwhelming. One Snomad community member, Nicola, an intermediate skier, notes that "the runs are a delight," while Steven adds there's "so much to ski" with amazing heated ski lifts helping you access all that terrain efficiently.

What truly makes Lech Zürs a paradise for intermediates is how the mountain layout builds confidence through thoughtful progression. The well-connected nature of the resort allows skiers to gradually expand their comfort zone by exploring different sectors – from the main Lech area to Oberlech, Warth and Schrocken. As intermediate skier Marta points out, "Great lifts allow you to disperse across the area. The runs are well kept." The Arlberg region provides a perfect playground for those looking to push their skiing to the next level, with Maurice, an advanced skier, noting there's "massive scope of terrain with mostly groomed pistes" and "good variety of slopes for all types of weather" – exactly what intermediates need to improve their technique while having a brilliant time on the mountain.
