  I have been to Lech/Oberlech for the past 3 years - and leaving again this coming February, 2008. Great snow and ambiance if not the most difficult runs! I fly into Zurich (from California); take subway to Haupbahnhof; take the train (2 hrs) to Langan am Arlberg and have a taxi waiting to drive me to Pension Sabine. Great small hotel right on the mountain - you ski down to get on the lift - with usual Austrian hospitality. Manage to 'do' all the surrounding area - truly my ski heaven!

  I have gone to a lot of ski-resorts in Europe but Lech and Zurs are probably the best. I recommend them for the type of snow on the pistes and also outside the pistes. Except from ski and snowboard, Lech and Zurs have good night-life and also very nice restaurants. I hope next year to go there again.

  Lech offers 5 star service with extra friendly people. The skiing is excellent if not the most difficult. The lift system is a dream with little or no queue's anywhere. None of the pretence you may get in some French resorts.
  Hotel Goldenerberg is fantastic.
  Annual visit ensues...

  Lech is a top class resort both on and off the slopes. The village is lovely to wander around although very expensive! The whole area is just great though and it usually gets good snow - I went in April 2006 and there was tonnes of the stuff. There are plenty of lifts and the slopes are suitable for most abilities although maybe not for the very first timer. Oberlech is a village a bit up the mountain which provides a nice atmosphere and many restaurants.

  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.

  We visited in March of 2003. We stayed at the Kristiania. It's a great hotel. Great rooms, food and staff.
  Lech is in a beautiful setting and the skiing is superb.
  Hire a guide and go off piste. There's something for everyone in Lech. Beware, it is expensive.
