THE RESORT
The Skiing
THE CRADLE OF ALPINE SKIINGFrequented by die-hards, beginners and royalty alike, Lech has plenty to offer any level of skier. The resort has a large connected ski web offering a total ski area of more than 305km and the impressive snow record continues to bring people back for more. Part of the vast Arlberg ski region, Lech and the nearby Zurs are linked by gondola to the smaller resorts Warth and Shrocken. The resort is also known for its sustainability, using 80% of its energy source from renewable biomass, saving 22,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. It is also the only place in Austria to offer heliskiing, opening up vast opportunities to experience some incredible off-piste.
