When the winter landscape of the Arlberg settles into tranquillity, Lech Zürs reveals its cultural side. From December to April, top-class concerts await you at Lechwelten: festive Advent music, a lively New Year’s concert, great jazz classics and symphonic masterpieces. Added to this is James Turrell’s Skyspace-Lech, a walk-in light art installation above Oberlech. This will make the winter of 2026/27 an experience that goes far beyond the ski slopes.

Art, light and perspective: two special places in Lech Zürs
Art, light and perspective: two special places in Lech Zürs
Where art, light and nature merge.
Skyspace Lech is situated at 1,780 metres above sea level, above Oberlech. The internationally renowned artist James Turrell has created a walk-in light installation here that offers a completely new perspective on the sky. At dusk in particular, the interplay of light, colour and the mountain landscape creates a striking shift in perspective. Tip: Be sure to book a guided tour at sunset during the winter months.
