Delightful moments that last forever
Lech Zürs knows how to spoil its guests during the second and third season, too
When speaking about Lech Zürs, the first thing most people think of is powder snow and crystal clear days where the sun makes the snow sparkle. However, the idyllic village is well worth a visit in summer and autumn, too. No other area in the Alps offers as much diversity and so many highlights for families, couples, or single adventurers as Lech Zürs does!
Just as enchanting as winter, but in full colour
During the summer verdant meadows and blooming mountain pastures blend together with emerald-green lakes to form a stunning natural landscape that is best explored during hikes and mountain tours. A widespread network of 350 kilometres of signposted hiking paths leads hikers through the impressive mountainous landscape, along rushing waters and clear lakes that offer welcome refreshment on hot summer days. Speaking of fresh: Lech’s forest swimming pool is great fun for young and old alike. And all those who’d rather stay dry can enjoy activities such as trail running, paragliding, golf, or biking.
The golden season also impresses with a variety of unforgettable experiences. When the trees’ shadows grow longer, and the edges of the paths and mountain ridges turn red and purple, the clear air offers spectacular visibility – ideal for soaking up the stunning mountain vistas and recharging one’s batteries with energy and vitamin D before the winter. And, of course, the spectacular surroundings can also be taken in during exquisite meals in one of the fantastic restaurants and huts that are happy to spoil their guests with tasty seasonal delicacies – fresh from the autumn harvest.
Event highlights in summer and autumn
No matter whether you’re here for the mountain summer or the autumn, Lech Zürs offers a variety of athletic, musical, and international events that are known far beyond the borders of Vorarlberg. A must for all those looking to enjoy a wonderful time!
