Are you looking for an action-packed outdoor adventure where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views without having to miss out on skiing? Then the Ski Arlberg ski area and the region around Lech am Arlberg are the perfect choice for you. Ski touring in the Arlberg and Lech is among the most beautiful in Austria. The breathtaking mountains offer a perfect Alpine panorama, ensuring that a ski tour in Lech becomes an unforgettable experience. There are also many different ascent routes and descents. Lech offers a wide variety of fantastic ski tours, for both beginners and advanced skiers.
The ski tour up the Kriegerhorn is ideal for beginners, as it runs right next to the secured ski area and therefore offers maximum safety. You can reach the summit in around 1.5 to 2 hours and enjoy the descent down the ski slope. As the route crosses ski slopes in places during the ascent, strict adherence to FIS rules is essential to ensure everyone’s safety. The tour is a perfect introduction to ski touring in the Arlberg region.
The ski tour to the Mehlsack is considered one of the classic routes for experienced ski tourers looking for a direct ascent from Zug. However, the route from Zürs is considerably less strenuous: after taking the Madloch lift and a short initial descent, the actual ascent into the unspoilt mountain landscape begins. If you still have energy to spare, you can extend the ski tour to the summit cross of the Spuller Schafberg. On this route, you will be rewarded with a spectacular descent and panoramic views.
The Mohnenfluh is one of the most striking vantage points in the region and an absolute highlight for ski tourers. Depending on your fitness level, the ascent can start directly in the village of Lech or be shortened by starting from the Steinmähder mountain station. Once you reach the Mohnenfluh, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views across the Arlberg massif before the descent takes you back down into the valley through undulating terrain. If starting from Lech, allow 3.5 to 4 hours for the ascent. From the Steinmähder mountain station, the ascent takes between 1 and 1.5 hours.
The tour in the Juppenspitz area offers alpine terrain for those who enjoy a leisurely pace. Those seeking a physical challenge can start the tour right in the centre of Lech; for a less strenuous option, the Steinmähder cable car provides a convenient way to reach the start. The route captivates with its varied route and the often excellent snow quality on the north-facing slopes, making it a worthwhile destination for connoisseurs.
