Our skiing Europe tour then visits the, timeless village of Lech Zürs at some 1,450 m above sea-level,
which is a glittering jewel of the stunning Alps.
Our
group ski tours have been coming here for many years.
And the reason people love Lech Zürs is because it’s so compact and cosmopolitan all at the same time; because of the outstanding
choice of skiing to be enjoyed
on the Arlberg, the glorious
countryside, the friendships you
can strike up here and the
feeling of always being welcome.
Skiing here also includes the
truly glamorous St Anton, as
well as St Christoph, Stuben and
Zug.
To visit Lech Zürs is to fall in love with it for a lifetime.
