Lech and Zurs Am Arlberg are two separate ski resorts that are interlinked as part of the bigger Arlberg ski domain. Though technically in the region of Vorarlberg, it boasts excellent ski conditions throughout the season. This is the number one reason why Lech Zurs Am Arlberg ski holidays are so popular.
A family friendly place, the resort is geared more towards intermediate and beginners. Out of the 122 ski runs totalling 280 kms, 139 kms are red runs, 108 kms are blue runs and the remaining 30 kms are black runs. The longest slope is a little over 5 kms whilst the highest point is a stunning 2800 metres. The Fluhen lift is one of the most modern carriers in the area and services novice skiers and snowboarders on the nursery slopes before they go on to the blue runs higher up. In total there are over 80 lifts here that are capable of moving up to 48,000 people per hour to their relevant slopes. Just a word of warning though, lift passes are limited to 14,000 per day to prevent queues and overcrowding. So you need to get in early.
