From June 18, the Lech mountain summer begins.

Back to the roots, to the pristine natural landscape: refresh yourself with clear, fresh spring water and hike in the natural paradise of Arlberg. A well-signposted network of hiking trails leads you through the Arlberg region and offers varied routes at all levels of difficulty.

• The Lechweg trail - this long-distance hiking trail from the Formarinsee lake extends more than 125 km through the Alps and one of Europe’s last wild river landscapes.
• Der Grüne Ring ("The Green Ring") - this hiking trail showcases the legendary "Der Weisse Ring ("The White Ring") ski circuit in three day stages around Lech Zürs

Our region boasts a total of 350 km of well-marked hiking trails including hut-to-hut hikes in the Lechquellengebirge range, sunrise hikes to the mountain peaks, or leisurely hikes through Alpine pastures and meadows.

During the main holiday periods, we offer a children's adventure week together with our outdoor partner Arlberg Alpin. The programme is designed to allow children ages 4 to 14 to enjoy active play in nature. From Monday to Friday, kids can enjoy archery, children's climbing, the Arlenzauberweg trail, canyoning, the Waldcamp grill area, and the opportunity to try out diving at the forest swimming pool. In addition, there are adventures for the whole family on weekends such as climbing and abseiling in a wild stream. All this and more are included with the Lech Card. Another highlight: Hydrospeed! Grab hold of a special swimming board shaped like a ship's bow and let the current of the Lech river pull you through the water. For kids, the course runs from the Tannbergbrücke bridge to the sport.park.lech. Adults can continue on to Warth.

Austria’s highest 9-hole golf course is 1,500 meters above sea level and runs through the Zugertal valley directly along the Lech river, which must be crossed several times during play. While shooting upstream, golfers can enjoy the unique panorama of the Rote Wand mountain. Even at a glance, it’s easy to recognise that the golf course’s developers desire to preserve the authentic charm of the Zugertal valley. The impact on the environment and landscape has been clearly minimised as far as possible. Here, sport and outdoor experiences go hand in hand. It’s not uncommon to see marmots, golden eagles and other animal Alpine animals during your round.
