It’s not just the snow-covered paths, meadows and slopes that have something to offer in Lech.

Winter fun on two blades adds variety to your winter holiday in Lech am Arlberg.

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll experience pure skating pleasure at the ice rinks on the Arlberg.

Take your family to visit Sky Space Lech, an artistic installation along the winter hiking trail above Oberlech. The walk takes 20 minutes. It consists of an underground chamber with an oval opening in the ceiling, through which you can watch the spectacle in the sky from a bench. This is an unforgettable experience, particularly at sunrise or sunset. In bad weather, the opening is covered by a huge, gleaming steel dome and a light show begins. Ask about the regular guided tours.
