Lech and Zürs offer some of the best intermediate skiing to be had in Europe. There may not be as many challenging pistes as in nearby St Anton, but there are extensive off-piste options.Snow reliability is one of the main contributing factors to the success of this resort. There is a high annual snowfall and the highest lift station is at 2,811m. Lech is also home to the famous White Ring ski circuit, which takes skiers on a tour through the ski area.Lech is linked by lifts and ski runs to the higher Zürs slopes, and a new gondola connects Lech to the pistes of Warth and Schröcken to the north, which doubles the available skiing area. There is also easy access by bus to St Anton and other nearby Arlberg resorts.The ski school in Lech is particularly good; however, classes often fill up early in the season with a number of private tutors being booked all winter.
