Lech Zürs am Arlberg Reviews & Ratings

Fabulous place to learn & much more. Wide open slopes & mixed terrain to suit everyone. Stay in Oberlech if you can, especially if you have kids. Grew up here and was magic.

Lech is super classy and has more cruisy blues than St Anton which makes it a bit more relaxing. Lifts are superb, many heated chairlifts too! Runs into town very mogully at end of the day

Quieter, premium resort with an amazing ski area. Spent a season here and I absolutely loved it for the skiing and the less touristic atmosphere.

I loved skiing in Lech. The resort has a wonderful buzz to it and the runs are great to ski on. It has great connection to other resorts (Zurs and St Anton) so you have the option to fully explore the mountain. Eating out options are fantastic, when I was there I never had a bad meal, and if you're in self catered accommodation there's a well stocked super market.

Lech is hands down one of the best ski resorts Ive ever visited. The slopes are fantastic, with something for everyone, whether youre a complete beginner or a seasoned pro. The White Ring circuit was a highlight for mechallenging but so rewarding, with views that are out of this world. Plus, the lift system is super efficient, so you spend more time skiing and less time queuing. The village itself is picture-perfect, with traditional wooden chalets and a relaxed yet upscale vibe that makes you feel like youre in a winter wonderland.

Off the slopes, Lech doesnt disappoint either. The après-ski is more refined than rowdy, which suits me perfectly. I loved kicking back in one of the cozy mountain huts with a warm drink after a day of skiing. The food is incredible tooeverything from hearty Austrian classics to high-end Michelin-starred dining. Accommodation options are great, whether youre after a luxury ski-in/ski-out hotel or something more budget-friendly. All in all, Lech is the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and charm. Ill definitely be back!

Decent food and accommodation, excellent Guided day off piste with whole areas to ourselves. Lucky with the snow levels, but equally its a good altitude. Very welcoming staff and generally around the resort.

Superb ski area - best in Europe in my opinion. Wonderful hotels with far better prices on food and drink than France. Superb lifts and great staff throughout

Great resort! Awesome skiing got all different types and awesome off slop amenities. The White Ring was a highlight.

The ski resort was fantastic when I last went. Great snow, amazingly efficient on the lifts. People were very helpful and friendly. My favourite place to go snowboarding.

When the snow is great the skiing is stellar. Many levels of accommodation to find from $$ to$$$$$$. The food on piste is divine and the service is second to none.

A wonderful traditional Austrian resort with a perfect blend of authentic and more touristy accommodation / restaurants. Excellent skiing options and close access to neighbouring resorts too. Breathtaking scenery and despite not being as high as many alpine resorts, the snow quality is superb given regular snowfall and good temperatures.

Experience based one skiing in the month of December.

I have stayed and skied in Lech over 10 times and would never pass up an opportunity to return.

We spent a week over Christmas 2024 at the resort, and were fortunate to get a massive dump of snow early in the week. The Arlberg is incredibly snow-sure - in fact Warth, a neighbouring resort, is the snowiest in the alps.

The ski area you have access to with your ski pass is massive. Thanks to the opening of a cable car at Zurs, you can now ski all the way to St Anton and enjoy the best apres ski in the alps.

Lech, and particularly Oberlech, is an expensive resort, but worth every penny to have such a fantastic ski area on your doorstep. The people are lovely and all of the food, on or off mountain is exquisite.

The off piste availability, when you are fortunate to experience pow days, is incredible. At a relatively low altitude vs the likes of Val Thorens or similar French resorts, means that you will often find yourself skiing between trees, and any off-piste fan knows the best off piste is between trees

The terrain park is only small in Lech so I wouldnt suggest staying here if thats what you are looking for, but there are small and medium kickers, as well as a couple other features like pipes and rails but ultimately not a park centric resort.

I fully recommend staying and skiing in lech. It is truly the best skiing the alps has to offer.

Great resort for all levels as there is lots of varying gradient. Great marked off piste for when those incredible powder days hit.
Mountain food is pricey but always great quality. Head on thr gondola link to Warth for steeper terrain and cheaper eats.

This is a great resort for a more up-market vibe for adults. It's expensive and apres is limited, so not recommended if youre big on apres.

Beautiful resort, great variety for skiers and snowboarders, excellent lift access and mountain coverage, great to ski between resorts but definitely on the more expensive side

Beautiful woodland scenery and lovely town to shop in. There is good choice of food with the local bavarian food being perfect in the cold. I had many Gluwein.

The slopes are more difficult overall for a beginner compared to 3 valleys, but I managed to get around okay. There are a few good blue runs that lead back to the town and lifts. The red runs are mlre difficult than 3 valley red runs. I managed the connection to Zurs, just about. Very pretty and fairly quiet runs.

Apres included nearby Mooserkreuz in Saint Anton. There's a bus that connects the train station, through St Anton, to Lech.

The journey from Innsbruck airport was very easy.

Family friendly but a bit expensive. Lovely wide well groomed slopes. Never a queue for a lift. The lech ski school is great with some good snowboard instructors.

A great resort, especially for families. Snow is normally very good though can get a bit slushy towards the end of the day in Warth and down in St Anton. Very well connected resort with lots of skiable piste on both sides of the mountain. Have found some of the best skiing between Lech and St Anton including less busy areas! Nightlife is okay though definitely better for bars- better apres found in St Anton if youre willing to get a bus back after lifts close. Good range of bars and food and drink spots on mountain including our favourite pizza spot at top of Lech side towards Warth and a great drinks place with outdoor beanbags coming down into Lech! Stunning views over the St Anton side and some beautiful off piste to be found, a fab resort!

Great for all-rounders and mixed abilities. Massive scope of terrain with mostly groomed pistes. Good variety of slopes for all types of weather - and well connected to rest of Arlberg ski area. Difficult to ski the whole area in one week, so return visits necessary! No real lift queue problems. Zug hamlet is a short free bus ride (or pay-for horse sleigh) up the valley and wonderfully quiet but well-connected, if you like that. The Lech town centre is bustling and bright at night. Friendly locals and staff in bars/restaurants and there is pricing to suit most pockets. The food, beers and wines are all to be tried and the mountain restaurants are good value. In the Arlberg region this is the best place for me and my friends to have a wonderful week or two in the winter season.

Lech/Oberlech forms part of the vast Alberg ski circus including St Anton, Stuben,St Christoph, and Warth.

Very up market and a well run resort area not cheap but brings out the best in visitor comforts including heated chair lifts and gourmet restaurants
The skiing is superb and good for all levels and also caters for non skiers

Very pretty resort area with 1st class hotels with restaurants in abundance.

Oberlech is car free and all accommodation is ski in ski out.
Definitely a resort to visit at least once in a lifetime.
