Bike & Hike in Lech Zürs

The Arlberg region offers perfect conditions for the combination of “Bike & Hike”. By mountain bike or e-bike you ride to the starting point of your hike and then continue on foot to your destination. You will reach places easier and faster which might have been hidden from you until now. We have put together 3 Bike & Hike tours in Lech Zürs for you.
