The Skiers' Guide to Lech Zürs am Arlberg

Lech has the best views of the Alps and the access to views and piste is easy. They are all very helpful for using the T bar to access more difficult terrain and the powder is always found! Great resort and easy to access from accomodations.

Beautiful location, ski school instructors very good, tough slopes for beginners but overall good to stretch you. Expensive and difficult to get in to restaurants without booking very in advance i.e some before your trip

The best slopes I have ever skied! Brilliant apres ski as well, bars busy and vibrant all the way down.

Good ski resort, great Austrian alipine food, cozy town and variety of areas to choose from. Experience was slightly limited by lack of snow in Dec/Jan - led to many lifts being closed and poor distribution of people. There were long queues at lifts in Lech and it was more difficult to get between different areas. Some beginners in our group found that there was a big jump between the bunny slopes and the blues - no intermediate that suited their abilities. But altogether, very cozy alpine vibes, good skiing and friendly people.

Beautiful resort which we’ve visited for years. Huge ski area with wonderfully groomed pistes and a lot of options for all experience levels

Low rise alpine town that has a good atmosphere and feels unspoilt. Lots of blue runs and beautiful scenery. Our favourite runs were over in Stubenbach which finished up in Zurs. The pistes were a little quieter here than Lech. Then we got the convenient bus back into Lech.

The resort is definitely busy during the holidays but has a good off season lull. So far it's been a well below average snow year but there are some odd fluffy zones still to be found here and there.

Food and drink are on the pricey side and not as good as what one would expect in France and Italy for similar pricing, but there are decently priced groceries in Lech that can keep your food and drink tabs reasonable

An excellent resort that should be on your list of favourite resorts.
Great skiing and a friendly resort.
Delicious menus at local restaurants.

Everything is absolutely perfect!
Hospitality second to none.
Instructors friendly & supportive.
Beautiful area.

Came here for a family holiday with parents. Such a beautiful resort with really high end places to eat both on the mountain and off.

Definitely more on the expensive end of things but was a trip we will never forget so worth every cent.

Lech is an amazing resort with plenty of areas for viewing and sitting and access to alternate resorts to explore over a long week. The hotel, staff and resort staff are always so friendly and excited

Lech is a beautiful ski resort with dramatic views, amazing contrast between the dark trees and stark towering mountains covered in snow. It’s my favourite view on a ski trip that I have seen. The town is very cute, with a lovely Christmas market if you’re there at the right time. Our hotel, hotel Arlberg, was utterly amazing. Ski lifts were so easy to use, food was great and the runs were so fun and ideal for an intermediate like me. We had instructors come from France but I have no doubt the instructors in Lech are amazing themselves as the resort is so high quality and luxury. Everything is done to a high standard in Lech. Ski rentals were super easy to do and the equipment was great though I am no expert.

It was my first time skiing - EVER!
I had an absolute blast!
Instructors were amazing and the food was unbelievable!!

I can’t wait to get back next year!!

Lech is a great place to ski, with perfectly groomed slopes, excellent lift efficiency and great ski instructors. Spoilt for choice for Mountain restaurants and great shopping in the village. Family friendly resort and nice bars. Upscale but worth it

Unbelievable resort and location. Feels very quiet luxury but with the connection to some amazing runs and apres if you want it

Great place and beautiful village. Lucky enough to do a season there. Slopes are accessible and great access to Zürs/Anton and backcountry if you want challenging terrain.

Clientele are those who have a lot of money but may not be able to ski well. But beautiful place nonetheless and very special vibes.

I love Lech, its really pretty and quiet as a town, but its so well connected to a massive ski area, with easy access to St Anton, and has an abundance of lovely, quiet, wide open piste.

85 chairlifts on one pass pretty much sets you up for adventure if you are an intermediate skier or above, great off-piste options in all levels of terrain, and I really mean all levels: I skied powder right next to the beginner slopes and right next to the steepest run on the resort within 30 min. There is so much terrain the biggest problem is the potential to get lost because of the tricky German names of some of the lists (here's looking at you, Zürs, with the TrittKopf Bahn and the TrittAlpe Bahn on opposite ends of the resort) with 14 different ski schools spread over 8 different ski area bases tied into one pass, you'll never get caught up in the nonsense of one resort one ski school like north america. During the high season, certain slopes can feel crowded, but if you tour around you can always find a quieter zone.

Excellent skiing with some of the best runs in the area. My favorite run goes from the top of the cable car back to Zurs

Lovely skiing. Expensive town, lovely views from the mountains, lots of other nearby towns to explore too. Food good but a lot of the same options for dinner, lunch more interesting. Other activities such as tobogganing and ice skating available. Small enough to feel like a local quickly, but large enough to have multiple options for eating / drinking / grocery shopping.
