Winter at the Arlberg
off the slopes
Even though skiing and snowboarding are at the heart of winter holidays in Austria for many people, many are also looking for more. For more variety. For something more extraordinary. Luckily, Lech has it all in winter. From the classic alternatives to skiing off the slopes – winter hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing – to fun family activities such as tobogganing, ice stock sports and more.
But people are also visiting our beautiful mountain home to join some of the events our region is known for. And of course, also for literary events and book readings directly in the Sonnenburg. Simply the perfect alternative – and complement – to your staple adventures on the slopes.
Carriage ride
A horse-drawn carriage ride through the wintry mountains: That’s our definition of a dream in white. Wrapped up in cosy blankets and with a warm mulled wine in your hand, you decide whether you want to go to Zug, the Alphorn, the Klösterle or the Älpele. All views are stunning!
Ice skating
Winter holidaymakers in Lech can enjoy ice skating on the picturesque natural ice rink in Zürs. On Wednesdays, it gets really romantic here: Candlelight ice skating under a starry sky is a must. Regardless of the weather, you can also always head to the indoor ice rink in Lech.
Ice stock sport
Not only ice skaters and ice hockey players of all ages feel at home on the natural ice rink in Zürs. The people of Vorarlberg like to venture out onto the ice for a game similar to curling, followed by a warming Jagertee or waffles. Grab your ice stock, warm up and have fun!
Tobogganing
Tobogganing is great fun for the whole family and the toboggan run is right on the doorstep of Hotel Sonnenburg: 1.2 kilometres from Oberlech down to Lech. The run ends at the valley station of the Lech-Oberlech gondola – so hop on and go again! The highlight of your winter holidays at the Arlberg: night tobogganing under the stars until 10 pm! A truly sensational winter activity.
Sports & fun
sport.park.lech is our tip for all weather conditions: Indoors, the whole family can compete in bowling, billiards, darts or on the indoor tennis court. Sports classes – from fitness, aerobics, dancing, yoga to Pilates – give you something new to try. Outdoors, you’ll find a multifunctional pitch for football, badminton or volleyball matches and climbers can prove themselves on the bouldering wall.
Winter events
Culture, dance and entertainment: Have a look at the event calendar for the time of your winter holidays in Lech. In addition to exciting ski and snowboard races, legendary events such as the Fantastic Gondolas, wine gondolas or the Music Festival of the Tanzcafé Arlberg take place in winter at the Arlberg as well. Readings and literary events entertain you directly in the Sonnenburg.
