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)
Lech has a limited rep service so pre-booking of ski packs is recommended. On arrival you will receive a Crystal welcome pack and the contact number for the nearby Crystal rep based in St. Anton. Your hotel will also be happy to help should you require any assistance during your stay.
