Hotels in Zürs and information for your ski holiday

The Flexenarena ski run has hosted eight World Cup races. The White Ring links Lech, Zürs, Zug and Oberlech over 22 kilometres. These two facts offer different points of reference: the Flexenarena is a specific ski run associated with the World Cup, while the White Ring is a route connecting four named places. The Flexenbahn and Auenfeldjet connect Lech Zürs directly with St. Anton/Stuben and Warth-Schröcken. Skiing options therefore range from a ski run and a route linking several places to direct lift connections to the areas named above.

If ski routes are a factor in choosing where to stay, they are a practical consideration for your visit to Zürs.

Hiking trails and winter routes

The first stage of the Green Ring leads from Rüfikopf via Monzabonsee and the Hut Library to Zürs. Another hiking trail leads via Ochsengümple and Rauekopfscharte towards Zürs. The named stops on the Green Ring trace a route through several points, while the route via Ochsengümple and Rauekopfscharte heads towards Zürs.

The winter hiking trail from Lech to Zürs follows the course of the Zürsbach stream and then reaches the centre of Zürs am Arlberg. Another winter hiking route leads from Zürs to Flexenpass and back. It faces south and has many resting benches; at the pass, Flexenhäusl is a place to stop for refreshments. Its seasonal opening may vary. The routes therefore differ in their orientation, too: one follows the Zürsbach stream to the centre of town, while the other leads to Flexenpass and back to Zürs.

For cross-country skiing, the trail leads to Flexenpass and back. It starts in Zürs, behind the Trittkopfbahn. Its starting point and out-and-back course distinguish this option from the winter hiking trails.
