For many mountain enthusiasts, the Arlberg is the best ski area in the world. This jewel of the Alps lies between the Austrian states of Vorarlberg and Tyrol, nestled between rugged peaks, steep slopes and covered in up to eleven meters of snow.
Lech am Arlberg, 1,450 meters above sea level, is a snow-sure resort. Between 1,300 and 2,800 meters above sea level, 94 state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts take you up the mountain, most of which have heated, comfortable seats. There are also 25 ski conveyor belts for beginners and children, 340 kilometers of ski runs in all levels of difficulty and for the experts: 200 kilometers of deep snow runs. Highly trained ski instructors, fun parks, permanent race tracks, contactless lift access with the Ski Arlberg Card and upscale and traditional places to stop for refreshments.
For cross-country skiers and walkers, there are also miles of routes through a snowy, dreamy landscape. We will inform you about the best snowshoe hikes and advise you on finding the right route for a winter hike. You can choose from a total network of 38 km of trails.
The Arlberg is not only worth a visit in winter. Countless well-signposted hiking routes lead you to the peaks around the Rüfikopf and Kriegerhorn. Rustic huts invite you to enjoy a hearty snack. Recharge your batteries on walks in God-given nature and enjoy the fresh mountain air.
During the day, the temperatures in Lech are pleasant, but never too hot, and at night it cools down to an ideal sleeping temperature, which is particularly good for resting the body.
Children have fun in the swimming pool, which is located in the middle of the forest, with a large slide, sunbathing area and the pleasant sound of the stream in the background. The little ones will never get bored in Lech am Arlberg, as there are special activity programmes organized by Lech-Tourismus every day.
