Best places to visit in Lech-Zürs am Arlberg
To list all of the places to visit in Lech-Zürs am Arlberg would be impossible.
Now connected to nearby St. Anton by the new Flexenbahn cableway, the village of Lech is a favorite bolt-hole for royalty and celebrities, with its cluster of high-end lodgings and an air of exclusivity enhanced by its remote setting. That said, Lech also has a number of budget-friendly lodgings that, coupled with its wide range of terrain, make it an approachable choice for families as well. Zürs is considered Austria's most exclusive ski resort, smaller, quieter, and less self-conscious than places like san Moritz or Courchevel, but no less upscale. It is a particular favorite for off-piste skiers who revel in its range of backcountry terrain.
The tiny village of Zug is about five kilometers from Lech and connected to it by cable car, making it a peaceful, low-key alternative with access to the same ski terrain. Between the two, there are 350 kilometers of terrain at a high enough altitude to assure good snow. "The White Ring" run in Lech Zürs is the stuff of legends, and soon to be added is a spectacular new ski run, called the "Run of Fame" and following the link between Zürs and Stuben/Rauz.
The snow levels and the area's isolation can be problematic for those who must come and go on a schedule, as a snowstorm can close the pass, making access from the east a much longer journey.
