A vacation in a winter wonderland is something we all dream of! Let’s take a closer look at one of Austria’s most prestigious ski destinations, Lech/Zuers, nestled in the heart of the Arlberg region. These charming Alpine villages have long been favored by royalty, the rich and famous, and passionate skiers alike. With over 70% of visitors returning year after year, this ski area captures the hearts of all who experience its breathtaking slopes and pristine surroundings.
As someone who has visited the Arlberg region more than 25 times, I can confidently call myself an Arlberg addict. Fortunately, Lech/Zuers has retained its exclusive charm over the years. Unlike other resorts, it has avoided overdevelopment, preserving its romantic village atmosphere without the intrusion of towering hotel blocks.
Lech/Zuers remains a jewel of the Austrian Alps, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury accommodations, world-class skiing, and unspoiled beauty. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or looking to soak up the unique ambiance, this destination promises an unforgettable winter escape.
I visited the 5* Zuerserhof one of the best hotels in the world – and one of the most luxurious in the Alps. Beautifully designed in traditional style with modern touches. It has all amenities you could wish for. They include the fantastic AUREUS SPA (see my previous blog post), a swimming pool, tennis facilities, and a fitness center.
Top 5 reasons why we love the Arlberg
HUGE SKI AREA
The ski resort of Arlberg is famous for its perfectly maintained slopes and it offers many opportunities for real un-tracked off-piste powder skiing. The Ski Arlberg Card gives you access to the cable cars in all five Arlberg resorts and the Warth-Schröcken ski resort and is your passport to the legendary 350 kilometers of ski slopes and 200 kilometers of high Alpine deep powder snow runs.
BEST HOTEL SPA FACILITIES
Nearly every hotel in the Lech/Zuers has a SPA facility to allow guests to relax after skiing. I have written in my previous blog post about the 5 Top things to super relax your brain in a luxury SPA. During our stay at the Zuerserhof have been able to experience the exclusive ambiance of the AUREUS SPA giving us unforgettable moments and treatments of the highest standards.
