The slopes
Beginners
Lech offers gentle nursery slopes, which are located beside the village centre. Long, wide, groomed blue runs are the order of the day.
Intermediates
Tremendous terrain for the intermediate skier. Countless opportunities open up from Lech via the central Schlegelkopf or Schlosskopf lifts. From the other side of Lech centre you can access the slopes of Zürs via the Rufikopf lift. With its amazing ski-in/ski-out location these areas offer a huge variety of blue and red runs.
Advanced
The best and the most challenging off-piste skiing can be found in Lech with plenty of testing black runs and routes.
Snowboarding
The Schlegelkopf-Hang is the home of the 'Boarderland Lech' - an ambitiously constructed slope paradise for snowboarders. The terrain - almost exclusively connected by chairlifts - offers opportunities to train and to show off with 1.2km of pipes, jumps and slides.
