The resort is a collection of high-quality family-run hotels and whilst it isn’t cheap,

it provides access to some of the Alps’, if not the world’s, finest skiing. It is linked to neighbouring Zürs, as well as Warth-Schröcken and since 2016 to the legendary resort of St Anton. This gives access to 303km of linked pistes and a further 200km of ungroomed ski routes in the Ski Arlberg area, all of which are joined up by a great lift system that has seen constant investment in recent years.

Pros and cons

Excellent snow record
Part of Austria’s largest ski area – covering 306km of pistes
Lots of great, high-end accommodation

Expensive, especially by Austrian standards
Treeless slopes can suffer in bad weather and links can close
Getting all the way to St Anton takes time

On the Slopes

From the steeps of Valluga above St Anton to the cruisey blues above Oberlech there is something for everyone.

For beginners there are some great learning areas on the edge of Lech and also Oberlech just above the main village. Progression on to longer blues is excellent and confident learners will quickly be able to explore more and more of the area. For intermediates the choice is almost limitless – there are 255km of immaculately groomed blues and reds in the Ski Arlberg, of which the long, shady reds above Stuben are our favourite. On powder days experts will be treated to some of the world’s best lift-served off piste, but if steep pistes are your thing, head to the Saloberkopf above Warth.

Getting to Lech

Innsbruck and Friedrichshafen airports are equidistant and the drive takes around an hour an a half. Zürich is a little further away, but on a good run, the resort can be reached in around two hours.

Innsbruck airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
Friedrichshafen airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
Zürich airport: 2 hours (driving)
Calais: approximately 12 hours driving (639 miles)

Season Dates

Opens: Wednesday 4 December 2024
Closes: Tuesday 22 April 2025

Connections to the major resorts of the Arlberg ski area open and close at the same time.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 07/04

Austria’s crescendo to the 2025/26 season looks set to continue through this week, as cooler temperatures (at least compared to the rest of the Alps) brings with it a few last flurries of snow.

Spring freeze-thaw cycles will be in force, but the freezing line will drop to 2,000m overnight and rising up to 3,000m in the midday sun. This will settle slightly on Friday when a pocket of unsettled weather moves in; the west will see a few flurries, barely enough to register on the snowstake, with up to 5cm falling the further east you travel. With the freezing line being where it is, this will limit snowfall to higher ground.

A few more flurries are due into the new week, albeit it remains too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where will fall.
