EXPERIENCE LECH AND ZÜRS: THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEASON 2016/2017

The Lech Zürs am Arlberg ski region – one of the top winter destinations in Europe – will soon be opening up its ski slopes again. In future you will find skiing here even more varied and attractive: the Flexenbahn, which links Zürs with Stuben, will be opening this season! In addition to the unique experience of the ski slopes, our winter charming ski resort will also be welcoming visitors with a number of exclusive event highlights. You will find an overview of all events here. But even today we can tell you what you should be certain not to miss:
 

The Flexenbahn

Skiing on the Arlberg will become even more diverse in the future. Thanks to the new Flexenbahn and the Trittkopfbahnen as well as the Albonabahn II you can reach all places of the Arlberg easily without taking off your skis from the winter season 2016/17. The large panoramic windows of the comfortable cabins allow an overwhelming view of the Klostertal valley up to the Arlberg Pass in St. Christoph. You too can enjoy the highest alpine pleasure in Austria's largest connected skiing area!
 

Après Ski & Party

Après-ski is the prelude to skiing! The après-ski parties in Toni’s Einkehr in the Hotel Flexen are legendary – and are always held on Fridays! And there are numerous trendy bars and clubs in Lech Zürs. Enjoy the first cocktail of the evening in our Piano Bar, before moving on to explore the nightlife of Zürs. We particularly recommend Bar Vernissage and the Zürserl.
 

Christmas market in Lech

Every year, the festive season is marked by the traditional Christmas market on the square in front of the church in Lech. Enjoy the sparkling lights, the local delicacies and a delightful music programme on the fourth weekend in Advent (16 – 19.12). On Sunday, 18 December the Christ Child will be visiting and will bring a small gift for all children.
 

Zürs New Year music and fireworks on 1 January

Zürs will be greeting 2017 with a grandiose celebration: a spectacular firework display will dance rhythmically across the skies to the sounds of selected music. The show will begin on 01.01.2017 at 9.00 pm with a supporting programme and a DJ on Edelweissplatz. The first sparks of the music andfireworks will shoot across the sky at 10.00 pm.
 

Der Weiße Ring – the race

The Weiße Ring is an essential highlight in the calendar of events in the Lech/Zürs ski region. During the legendary “White Ring” ski race the competitors must complete a tough 22-kilometre descent across 5.5 kilometres of altitude before they reach the finish. Come to the slopes on 21 January 2017 and experience the cult race at first hand!

Our superlative lifestyle event will be held once more at the end of January. Après-ski, fondue evening, cocktails, dinner, live music performances, party and much else – you can look forward to a wide-ranging programme at Snow & Soul in Thurnher’s Alpenhof from 25 – 29 January 2017. We have created an attractive package for music lovers and gourmets
 

Kampen goes Lech

During the week of 5 – 10 March 2017 the North Sea coast will be travelling to Rüfiplatz in wintry Lech. The move will be carried out by a team of 20 from Kampen in North Friesland. They will have packed in their luggage: fish specialities, Flensburger Pils and the record case of the famous host Peter Kliem. Kampen goes Lech– the après-ski beach club with Alpine glow and hot rhythms!

Friends of the extreme sports should take note: daredevil stunts with snowboards or skis on their feet can be admired on 11 March 2017 in Snowpark Lech.
