Lech is unbeatable for its slopes. You have access to the whole Arlberg region which contains over 400 runs. However it is very expensive to stay and very limited for eating out. That said, you can still go there on a budget if you're smart. It's worth it for the quality of the snow and slopes.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lech! It was a great resort with lots of good runs and lifts! When compared to other resorts around the Arlberg I found it to be more affordable (but that couldve been because I was trying to save money!). Plenty of rental services and the employees at the InterSport were very helpful! Lots of buses to get you where you need to go!
We skied from Lech to St Anton which was a great day trip with a range of terrains, and Id really recommend that!
Will definitely be going back to Lech!

Skied here in Easter 2022 for 6 days. Plenty of runs and the ability to visit zurs and st anton made for a really large ski area to explore. Stayed in Zug (just outside lech) which provided perfect ski in ski out accommodation via the zugerbergbahn gondola. The greatest thing about staying in Zug was that it is part of the famous Weise Ring meaning you can start the circuit from your hotel and then finish back there at the end of the day. Before, taking the free bus to lech for some apres!

We were very lucky this season and had quite a few fantastic powder days
I recommend a guide for the best off piste experience

Been going for over 20 years was great for kids and adults alike went to Val Desiere for a change as kids wanted Folie Douce etc but they all said Austria better especially the lift system investment over the years also the Austrians were happy to see you and thanked you for spending your money there The French just seemed to take your money and move on all were rather impersonal

Lech: one of the most snow sure resorts in Europe, great freeride opportunities with fantastic local guides, stay in Oberlech for some great ski in ski out opportunities, Lech & oberlech are traditional Austrian villages that have been made famous over the years for hosting Royalty, its at the upmarket end of Austrian skiing which generally means numbers on the slopes are kept lower due to the slightly higher price tags for accommodation.
oberlech is above lech village and access to hotels is via the cable car, you turn up at the cable car station tell the lift staff which hotel you are staying at and your luggage is delivered directly to the hotel.
The skiing is extensive with access to warth all the way down to St Anton. you can always find quiet runs if you look hard and venture a bit further. nice selection of hotels and restaurants in the village most restaurants are in hotels,
Strolz has the rental shop monopoly in the village and offer a very good selection of equipment to purchase or rent as well as Hannes Strolz boots shop which is probably one of the finest custom boots in the world allowing you the opportunity to purchase a new pair of custom boots and then try them on the doorstep and have additional tweeks made if necessary. Also worth mentioning is the "white ring" Arlbergs legendary ski circuit which gives you a ski circuit of 22km 5,500 meters of vertical and 6 runs, defiantly worth considering but would avoid this on weekends and ski holiday times as unlike the rest of the resort it can get busy. best thing about lech 1hr flight london to Innsbruck always has atail wind and then a 1hr 20 transfer great for a last min booking for fresh POW

I absolutely love Lech and all the connected areas esp Warth and Schrocken.
The lift/cable car system is amazing. Pistes are well labelled and groomed. It's pretty snow sure so even better.
There's fab hutte on the slopes, letting you take lovely, panoramic views in whilst you eat or drink.
Accommodation is wonderful... from hotels to chalets to apartments.
Public transport is frequent but can be frantic at beginning and end of day if you are staying elsewhere like St Christoph/St Anton.
Because its a bit pricy, there are fewer nutters/Jerry's on the slopes. Plus it's such a huge area you can find some lovely runs almost to yourself.
Thoroughly recommend

Lech Zürs probably has one of the best lift systems anywhere. Its very easy to navigate the ski area, with each lift/run leading seamlessly to the next.

Lech is ideally situated if you want to ski in the one of the top 5 ski areas in the world.
It is part of the Arlberg domain which includes the more famous St.Anton. The state of the art lift system seamlessly links all the different villages providing plentiful opportunities to access snow parks, challenging slopes and off-piste terrain.
I would recommend Lech for families and beginners with all the lifts and nursery slopes within 10 minutes walk of most of the accommodation. The Arlberg ski school has a long history and an enviable reputation. All the local pistes are groomed to perfection.
The village is elegant, beautiful and sophisticated but quieter at night than the very lively St.Anton.
