THINKING, AWAY FROM IT ALL
Being surrounded by mountains fosters a special way of thinking. The Medicinicum in Lech Zürs puts this to a good use.
LECH ZÜRS AM ARLBERG
Outstanding natural conditions, a mountain sports offering that is unequalled and an excellent tourist infrastructure, together with cordial hospitality, outstanding cuisine and an inspiring combination of tradition and modernity - these are the ingredients that make Lech Zürs am Arlberg one of the leading holiday resorts in the Alpine region. "More time, more space" in a breathtakingly diverse landscape.
The Flexenbahn cableway opened in the winter of 2016/17 and made skiing at the Arlberg even more varied and comfortable. With the help of the link between Zürs and Stuben/Rauz, skiers can easily reach all resorts at the Arlberg on skis. That will make the Arlberg skiing area the largest contiguous skiing area in Austria! With 87 ski lifts, 305 kilometres of ski runs and 200 kilometres of high Alpine deep powder snow runs available, virtually unlimited skiing and snowboarding enjoyment is guaranteed. Whether beginner, advanced or simply in search of adventure: Deep powder snow slopes, blue, red and black runs and nursery slopes offer optimal conditions for every level and taste.
The mountain world of Lech Zürs is a power place, ideal for building up your energy. It is calmer in the summer than in the winter, so summer is the perfect time to surround yourself with nature and concentrate on your mind, body and spirit. It does not matter how slow or fast you go. Whether you prefer strolling, hiking or jogging, and whether you stay on the magnificent Lech Zürs plateaus or go uphill, you will be able to focus your thoughts when moving at your own pace. Exercising in the fresh air will not only help to train your body, but will also promote mental and spiritual regeneration. It is at least as good for rest and recreation as it is for fitness.
