Winter sports on the Arlberg - winter variety with guaranteed snow.
Lech Zürs am Arlberg is one of the most renowned winter destinations in Europe - and for good reason. At an altitude of over 1,700 meters, you can experience winter in all its facets here: from endless kilometers of pistes and snow-covered cross-country ski trails to quiet moments spent snowshoeing.
What unites all activities is the incomparable backdrop of the Arlberg: majestic peaks, absolute snow reliability and an elegance that has made Lech Zürs famous worldwide. Whether sporty and ambitious, enjoyable or extraordinary - everyone will find their winter dream here.
Endless variety on 302 kilometers of slopes.
The Lech Zürs am Arlberg ski area is one of the most exclusive winter sports resorts in the Alps - a paradise for skiers, snowboarders, freestylers and even heliskiing fans. At an altitude of around 1,720 meters, you not only enjoy absolute snow reliability, but also a mountain backdrop that makes every downhill skier's heart beat faster.
With the opening of the Flexenbahn cable car, the Arlberg has grown into Austria's largest ski area: 302 kilometers of pistes, 88 lifts and countless downhill options make a skiing vacation on the Arlberg an experience without limits. Whether sporty and ambitious or leisurely - everyone will find their favorite slope here.
And best of all: at Thurnher's Alpenhof you stay right on the slopes. The Hexenboden and Zürsersee lifts are just a few steps away - ski-in, ski-out in its most beautiful form. Those who prefer a more relaxed pace can use the ski bus, which stops right outside the hotel entrance and takes you comfortably to Lech or the surrounding villages.
