Since 2015/16, Zürs has been directly connected via the Flexenbahn gondola to St Anton

making this the ideal base to explore the 306km of linked pistes in what is one of the snowiest corners of the Alps. It was already connected to neighbouring Lech in the other direction – Zürs really is located in the perfect place. Whether it’s gentle groomers or steep off piste routes you’re looking for, there is so much variety here that you’ll be spoiled for choice. The Zürs village itself is very small, compact and almost entirely focussed on a small number of family-run and very well appointed hotels. All are of a very high standard and boast excellent facilities for post-skiing activities – just don’t come here expecting a party, you can stay over in St Anton after skiing for that and then catch the bus back later on.

Pros and cons

Right at the heart of Austria’s largest ski area
Incredible snow record and home to some fantastic off piste routes
Hotels are of very high quality and are not as expensive as you may first think

The village is small and there isn’t much away from the hotels
Access issues when it is snowy – the road closes frequently
No real tree-lined runs, so can be bleak in bad weather

On the Slopes

On the edge of the village, the recently built Ubungshangbahn and a couple of draglifts serve a sunny and gentle beginner area. From here, the longer blues under the fast Hexenboden chair are ideal for progression. Intermediates will then love the vast network of linked pistes that extend right the way to Warth-Schröcken in one direction and St Anton in the other. For quiet, long descents head to Stuben and the Albona gondola.

For advanced and expert skiers and boarders, there are few better ski areas. Not only is the snow extremely plentiful in this part of the Austrian Alps, but the piste map is littered with 200km of ski routes – unprepared but marked with poles. The long routes to Zug, the runs of the back of Rufikopf and of course the world-famous trails off Valluga at St Anton are a must if you’re a competent off piste skier or snowboarder.

In the Resort

Zürs is a very small resort, centred around a collection of family-run hotels, a few sports shops and a handful of restaurants. There is little to do off the snow, but most hotels have excellent spa facilities and high quality on-site restaurants.
The resort is quiet in the evenings, so if you’re looking for a party scene head to St_Anton, or if you want more shopping and restaurant options then nearby Lech may be a better base for your ski holiday.

Innsbruck lies an hour and a half’s drive away to the east, whilst Zürich sits two hours to the west by car.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 25/04

Brief flurries of snowfall open the weekend for many areas in Austria, the best conditions found in the south and east of the region where up to 20cm can be found on higher slopes over the course of Friday and into Saturday. Further north and west, and this is reduced to a few centimetres.

All this is helped by a friendly freezing line, starting the weekend anchored nicely around 2,000m, dropping off overnight perhaps as low as 1,500m. This will rise gently over the course of the new week as sun moves in to dominate, reaching 3,000m in the midday sun by the middle of the new week.
