Hitting the (Forest) Floor & Revelling in Nature

There’s so much to explore in our great outdoor world. Deep snow pros can have an unforgettable experience heli-skiing right in Ski Arlberg, the only place that offers it in the Austrian Alps. Trips can be booked through the Lech ski school. Snowboarders more than welcome!

If you’re not the type to head up high and race down fast but are still looking for some fun on two slats, how about some cross-country skiing? Lech Zürs offers 27 kilometres of well-tended slopes for every level. And for those who want to take it even slower, we recommend snowshoeing or exploring some of the extensive winter hiking trails. Or go old-school, taking a ride through the winter wonderland in a horse-drawn carriage. No matter your choice (but why not try them all?), you’ll encounter the most magnificent of landscapes. In case of bad weather, shift your sporting energies over to sport.park.lech and sample their wide range of offers.

Arts and Culture

Let’s move on to the many cultural events available during Lech’s winter season. In the Museum Huber-Hus you can get first-hand knowledge of life in a typical Walser farm house and experience their ever-changing exhibition program.

Another very special location is the Allmeinde. Founded by Katja and Gerold Schneider, it offers exhibitions, concerts, lectures and conferences all in one exceptional location. Lech is also home to skyspaceLech, a ‘lightroom’ created by world-renowned artist James Turrell.

Over the last several years, many annual cultural events have been established: The Masters in Residence and the Tanzcafé Arlberg These are happenings, festivals, and events in one of the most incredible locations on earth.

Shopping

Just because they’re in the mountains doesn’t mean some of our guests don’t want to get their shop on. Apart from the well-known shops Waldhart, Strolz and Sagmeister, there are some smaller boutiques like Lenai&Linai, offering contemporary regional fashions that emphasize craftsmanship in wool and cloth, or the new room service boutique in the hotel der Berghof offering beautifully curated accessories.

Resa Wants Shop at Alpenfluh

Beginning with the Winter Season 2022/23, lovers of our high-quality, pure organic cosmetics from Resa Wants have been able to find and purchase them directly online. Now, in our lovely little store located in the Stammhaus, you can see, try out, marvel, chat, and choose. Perhaps even with a cozy cup of coffee. We’ve designed the experience so that visitors go home inspired inside and out. It’s not for nothing that our store’s motto is a “a shop window for the body and soul,” which you can read more about in the current issue of La Loupe.

The finest mountain meadow honey, harvested by our very own Michi Wolf, is also available at Alpenfluh, along with hand-picked herbal teas from Bezau. Both are the ideal souvenirs to carry back to your loved ones at home.

Restaurants

Lech is known far and wide for its exceptionally fine culinary offerings. Here, you’ll find numerous highly-regarded restaurants that are represented in countless guides and recommendation books. To help you deal with this abundance of choices, we’d like to offer some suggestions for places where our family and many of our guests have had consistently enjoyable culinary experiences. For the evenings when our own kitchen is closed (Sundays and Mondays), we hope this list will prove helpful. We are also glad to make reservations for you at these or any other nearby restaurants!
