Lech
Lech is a small village on the Lech river in Vorarlberg, at the heart of the Arlberg. With neighbouring Zürs, Zug and Oberlech, it forms one of the most exclusive ski regions in the Alps. It is linked by lifts to St. Anton, which makes Ski Arlberg one of the largest ski areas in Austria.
The village keeps its old character. In summer it is a quiet base for hiking and walks around the Formarin and Zürs lakes.
