Gateway: Zurich
Founded in the 14th century, Lech, surrounded by 9,000 foot mountains, retains its medieval charm while its slopes bask in international fame. This idyllic setting offers downhill runs from both sides of the valley right to the center of town. Tree-free steep descents and wide open bowls provide great skiing for all levels. Your lift ticket links you with nearby Zurs, Zug, St. Anton, St. Christoph, and Stuben. Lech & Zrs have it all: world famous ski schools, guided ski tours, heli-skiing, snow-boarding, paragliding, child care at ski kindergarten, winter hiking, cross country skiing in untouched nature, ice skating and Austrian style curling, toboggan run, horse drawn sleigh rides, outdoor cafes , late afternoon tea dances, and entertainment that runs until almost dawn complete the picture. Who could ask for more?

Additional Information
Lech and its higher neighbor Zurs are the most glamorous and expensive resorts
in Austria. Their shared slopes could fairly easily be linked with those of
St.Anton - but then their rich and royal visitors would be forced to mingle
with hoi polloi from their equally famous but less exclusive neighbor.
Lech is for those who don't mind fur coats, do like well groomed, snow sure,
cruising slopes, and are content to enjoy a winter holiday in pampered comfort
and style in a traditional Alpine village. There are challenging slopes
available (mainly off-slope) and the tougher slopes of St.Anton are only a
short bus- or car-ride away. But it is the part-timer, who enjoys the aprs
and the strolling as much as the winter sports who will get the most out of
the resort.
