The Lech Zurs Ski area is deceptively large: you will never feel overcrowded in Lech, as ticket sales are limited each day (14000). This largest ski area in Austria offers 305km of marked runs, and an enormous 200km of off-piste just waiting to be explored. Lech area has a lot of easy slopes marked for beginners and intermediates.

Chair lifts leave for the main area above the town, offering plenty of local runs and connections over to warth. The cable car on the other side of Lech accesses the route over the Zürs. From here, keen skiers can get to St Christoph and Stuben or complete the white ring circuit and take the lift into the Madloch area, which leads to slopes above the hamlet of Zug, and finally a Panoramic of the village of Lech.
