Wintertainment Lech Zürs

Taking the first turns on the freshly groomed slopes as the sun comes up, peeking behind the scenes of legendary brands and personalities, enjoying an exciting toboggan-ride through fantastic wintery landscapes or simply dedicating one’s time to enjoying fine vintages and culinary highlights in front of an impressive backdrop: the diverse range of winter activities for every taste guarantees guests unforgettable days in the winter wonderland that is Lech Zürs – Austria’s largest ski resort and one of the five largest in the world.

Special opportunities, unique experiences

Ski Arlberg’s legendary reputation ranges far beyond the national borders. The cradle of alpine skiing is known for its perfectly groomed slopes of all levels of difficulty, its comfortable offer of state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts as well as the inimitable views all winter sports enthusiasts love. A place that simply makes you want more, like discovering the fantastic landscape during an early-morning ride down the perfectly groomed slopes, when the sun makes the snow glitter and shine. A wish that can come true every Wednesday at 7.30 at the early start at Langer Zug or every Thursday at 7.45 at the early start at Zürser Täli – simply register beforehand. There really is nothing more exciting than finding yourself up on the summit when the sun comes up and you’re ready to leave the first traces in the snow as you expertly carve down the slopes.

They say only flying is more beautiful. More beautiful than being among the first to leave their traces in the freshly fallen snow, with a stunning view of the breath-taking panorama? That’s hard to say, so maybe it’s best to combine the two: from Monday through Friday, Lech Zürs offers a special kind of wintertainment event that is unique in Austria and something you can’t miss: heliskiing and heliboarding.

Cold winter air is always bound to leave you with a healthy appetite, one that is best satisfied with exquisite fondue chinois at Rüfikopf Panoramarestaurant at 2,350 altitude metres every Friday from 6 pm. The perfect start to an evening of enjoyment, on the other hand, takes guests to the whisky tasting event at Schlegelkopf Restaurant-Bar every Tuesday at 3.30 pm.

And to round off the perfect holiday, guests should not miss out on a visit with Europe’s highest-situated Highland cattle farm. A unique opportunity for the entire family to meet the adorable fluffy creatures up close – every Thursday at 2.45 pm.

… every day wintery magic beckons.

All those who have always wanted to know more about the success story behind the legendary ski brand Kästle or about the Ski Arlberg “pioneers of skiing” here at the cradle of alpine skiing, should definitely pay the Kästle Mountain Museum or the HALL of FAME a visit. Every day between 9 am and 4 pm, guests can learn exciting facts about the family run company Kästle, or dive into an interactive exhibition that illustrates the fascinating history of Arlberg, its most historic moments, heroic “pioneers of skiing” and unforgettable “ski stars” and even “film stars”!

Not only diving into the area’s history is bound to give you goosebumps, though: right at the centre of the ski resort of Lech Zürs am Arlberg, with a view of the stunning, snow-covered mountains, as a couple or with friends,guests can now enjoy moments of exclusive indulgence with champagne and (upon request) delicious canapés at the uniquely designed Moët & Chandon champagne gondola.

All fans of tobogganing, big and small, can also aim high here and speed down the 1.2-kilometre tobogganing track in Oberlech. Delightful entertainment that only becomes more magical after sunset with the stunning nighttime view of the mountainous scenery.
