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 17/03

Spring conditions dominate across the Austrian Alps through this week, as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions across the region. Temperatures will yo-yo in a typical spring freeze-thaw pattern, the freezing line dropping to 500m overnight but rising to just shy of 2,000m in the midday sun.

Cloud and more unsettled weather brings with it some snow through this weekend, the best of which will be in the east of the country; around 15cm will fall from Saturday into Sunday, but with the oscillations of the freezing line settling around 1,500 this will mean that this snowfall will favour upper slopes. Western areas will see around 5cm.

More unsettled weather is due for the new week, although it remains too far out to fully see how much snow, when and where.
