Winter paradise
You don't have to ski in Lech to experience the stunning mountain scenery. As a traditional winter sports destination you can have as much fun off, as on the piste. Some of the highlights include:
• 20km of winter footpaths taking you out of the pretty village and into the surrounding picturesque landscape. Alternatively take a snowshoe walk into a hidden winter world of nature and tranquility. Guided walks are offered including full moon night tours for a truly unique experience.
• Try cross country skiing with over 20km of marked trails around the area. Equipment and lessons can be booked locally.
• Fly down the spectacular floodlit toboggan run from Oberlech to Lech, an exhilarating experience for all ages!
• Take a horse drawn carriage ride. From the wooden covered bridge in Lech you can relax and absorb the scenery on a romantic sleigh ride. Take a one way ride to Zug and walk back along the valley or enjoy a trip around Lech by night.Representatives (Reps)
