Visitor Reviews of Lech

Nick Russill from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Lech and Zurs are fantastic places for snowboarding. Just got back from an Easter trip and the conditions were still excellent, our visit preceded by fresh dump.

Dont be put off by people who say it is expensive - prices were about average in our experience but whatever and wherever you spend your cash, you will get excellent quality in clean and very friendly places.

Most of the slopes face south and can become a bit slushy late in the day at this time of year, but stay up high at the back of Zurs and there is some great terrain, natural gullys and impressive bowls.

Anyone considering venturing into the acres of offpiste terrain should seriously consider taking beacons, shovels and probes and stick together. Avalaunche potential seemed very high.
