Lech am Arlberg is Austria's most refined ski village: Walser settlement architecture maintained by building regulations, ski terrain with exceptional powder frequency due to the Arlberg's position where Atlantic weather hits the Alps first, and a royal family clientele that has made it a fixture in European celebrity culture since the 1980s. The ski area connects to Zürs. The summer Green Ring circuit is one of the best valley hiking routes in Vorarlberg. About 1 hour 15 minutes from Bregenz by car. Room rates at peak weeks are among the highest in Austrian skiing.
