Lech am Arlberg
Lech is an attractive traditional village tucked away in a narrow valley on the banks of a river, with a large collection of sumptuous four- and five-star hotels.
Unfortunately it is still not possible to ski to Lech from St Anton. But you can take the free skibus (blue busses) from Alpe Rauz (piste 17). This skibus will take you in 10-15 minutes in the ski area’s from Lech. Since the ski busses are to small, make sure you ski down to Alpe Rauz in the morning, to enjoy a full day of skiing in Lech and Zürs. Alternative is to take the paid “postbus” departing from St Anton. More space and a direct ride.

Zürs am Arlberg:
Zürs is perched 5km away at a snow-sure high altitude on the Flexen Pass, in a region that looks more towards Switzerland than to the rest of Austria and is best reached by car from Zürich. De skibus from St Anton (Alpe Rauz) stops in Zürs. Zürs is very snow secure. . Zürs is one of the most exlusive resorts from Austria and there are only a handfull of 5 star hotels.
Ski possibilities in Zürs
The terrain here is markedly easier than in St Anton, with plenty of cruising runs best suited to intermediates. As a result, large numbers of skiers and riders based in St Anton come here for the day. However, overcrowding is not an issue. Only the free blue ski busses can get crowded. Alternative is a Taxi or the yellow postbus. But you have to pay for that one.
There is an unofficial off piste route, between St Anton and Zürs (back of the Valluga), but you are only allowed to do the route with an official guide, otherwise you are not allowed in the lift to the start point with ski’s on..
There is a ski route between Zürs and Lech, it is nice. Not that difficult and will give you some nice views. Be aware, the madloch chair, can be crowded on busy days.
