Lech and Zurs are just 5 minutes apart and just 1 ½ hours transfer from Innsbruck. Both are well-known for being one of the most exclusive resorts in Austria.
They have retained a real alpine charm with pretty village centres, a selection of lovely hotels, chic boutiques and live music in many of the hotel bars. Oberlech, which is located above Lech is only accessible in the winter by cable car. It is a stunning transport-free hide-away with skiing literally on your doorstep.
The charm of these famous villages, coupled with their very good snow record makes them both very popular destinations. There is a real variety of skiing from the great cruisy, motorway pistes at Lech which are great for beginners and intermediates or for the more confident intermediates there is the famous “White Ring”, a 20km loop which circumnavigates Lech, Zurs and Zug. For intermediate and advanced skiers there is some great heliskiing on offer.
