Lech Ski School
Our Lech Ski School, nestled in one of the snowiest resorts in Europe, is charming and fun for all ages and abilities. Thanks to the interconnected variety of pistes and access to the Arlberg ski area, it’s easy to navigate around the resort.
Our young, fun team of instructors are energetic and driven to help you become a better skier or boarder. Their passion for the mountains, making improvements, and exploring more is undeniable. They can show you the best-hidden powder stashes, the best parks for the kids and the quietest runs for those looking for a confidence boost.
We know it’s the little things that count. Whether you’re looking for lessons and coaching, a bespoke package for your corporate trip or to find the best lunch spot, our experienced team have got it covered.

Lech FAQ’s
How can I get to resort?
Fly
Fly to Innsbruck or Zurich and then a transfer to Lech.
Transfer companies: gettransfer.com, skilifts.com, alpinbus.com, The Arlberg Express bus company
You can also rent a car at the airport and then drive to resort yourself if you’d like. From Innsbruck it’s a 90min drive, and from Zurich is just over 2hrs. Coming from Innsbruck drivers should follow the main Inn Valley motorway up to where the road splits for Ischgl or St Anton.
Train
Innsbruck. The easiest rail route from Innsbruck to Lech am Arlberg is to take the frequent service to St Anton am Arlberg and then use the public bus or a taxi onwards to Lech.
Langen railway station is the closest train station to Lech and is the most convenient for the airports of Zurich or Friedrichshafen. The train journey from Zurich takes around 2 hours and 20 minutes and the ride from Friedrichshafen around 20 minutes longer – however the trip from Zurich is direct and that from Friedrichshafen involves a number of changes.
At Langen, a taxi can be hired or the local bus (which runs every 1 or 2 hours until around 22.00).
Drive
Driving from the UK is quite the trek – it’s over 16hrs from London! So unless you’re staying for longer than a week, it probably isn’t your best option.
Bus
Regular buses from Innsbruck. The Arlberg Express bus company runs an airport transfer bus service to Lech or Zürs. The service is more frequent at weekends, but there is also a single daily bus from the Zurich airport.
Where can I stay in resort?
Here are some of our favourite places to stay in resort:
- Chalet Hotel Montfort – (Ski Total- cheap) is just 450m from the lifts and a short stroll away from the shops and bars on the main street of Lech. It has cosy Austrian furnishings with a modern touch. With it only sleeping 35 people, it’s best to get booked early.
- Haus Schrofenstein – (mid-price range) A small and attractive B&B, situated just a three-minute walk from the Bergbahn cable car up to Oberlech, and a five-minute walk from the centre of the village.
- Hotel Tannbergerhof– (Expensive) is a smart and sophisticated four-star hotel located right next to the church. It was one of the first hotels to be built in Lech.
As well as some agents with whom you can book stays in Lech:
- The Chalet Edit – The hassle-free ‘little black book’ of luxury ski chalets in Lech.
How easy is is to get around Lech?
If you’re staying up in Oberlech, then fear not- you aren’t isolated. The 80 person Bergbahn cable car runs from 7 am – 1 am. Oberlech is car-free and home to the high-end hotels and chalets that have a network of underground tunnels that the staff use for deliveries and luggage.
The town of Lech itself is easy to navigate, as it still remains a small village. The council will not let it expand which makes the furthest lift from the town around 600m away. But there is a free shuttle bus that runs regularly so you don’t need to worry about walking that 600m in ski boots.
What is the snow like? Lech webcams
Lech on average gets around 10m of snow which is much more than many French resorts. Lech and the Arlberg area is one of the most snow safe places to ski in Europe. With over 60% of the resort covered by snow cannons too, you can be sure to enjoy great conditions.
