Ski Arlberg - Austria's largest contiguous ski area

In addition to being part of Austria's largest contiguous ski area and one of the most extensive ski resorts in the world, Lech Zürs is also extremely versatile and therefore equally popular with families, freeriders and ski tourers. Here we have the right slope for winter-sports fans of all stripes. Those who have experienced the majesty of Lech Zürs first hand are always eager to return.

The Arlberg features more than 300 kilometres of downhill slopes, making it the largest connected ski area in Austria and the fifth largest in the world!

After all, now more than ever, Lech Zürs stands for quality before quantity, for spaciousness and space. This is just one of many reasons why the area is so popular with families. Many of our regular guests have been coming to Lech Zürs since they were kids. Oftentimes they learned to ski here in the Arlberg region while on holiday with their own parents. Such loyal guests still regularly holiday in Lech Zürs to this day, now with their own children and their grandparents. For many of our regular guests, a holiday in the Arlberg area has become a meeting place for large families, where the generations get together again at least once a year. Family hotels in Lech Zürs have specialised in exactly such get-togethers and contribute their share to the success of these major family gatherings.
