Intermediates have it all here: wide, groomed runs spanning the mountains. Warm-up at Petersboden lift and explore tree-lined pistes above the village. The Weisse Ring circuit adds a challenging twist.

While Lech lacks specialized snowboarding parks, it offers broad runs and quality powder, making it a suitable place for carving and freeride action.

Off-piestes
Perfect
Lech is an off-piste haven for advanced skiers. The 5.5km Madloch descent stands out for its powder and views. Heli-skiing on specific summits takes the experience up a notch.

Lech for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Lech is a family paradise; lodgings are lift-adjacent and packed with amenities, and the ski school is easy to reach. The Kinderclub welcomes kids aged 3-5 with nursery slopes and games. Activities include ski lessons, races, and meeting Pfiff, the adorable marmot mascot.

Lech apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Apres-ski
Lech's après-ski scene is more on the sophisticated side, albeit a tad pricey. Eisbar at the Tannbergerhof Hotel is the spot for world-renowned gluhwein while watching skiers descend the mountain. If you’re looking to hang where the ski instructors go, Schneggarei at the base of Blue 34 is your jam.
