Zürs: Trails, Lakes and Winter Tours

Zürs combines impressive mountain destinations with clearly defined trails for summer and winter. Anyone planning a trip can choose between hikes starting in the village centre, high-altitude excursion destinations, winter hikes and cross-country ski trails. The connection to other places in the Arlberg region is also part of the character of a stay here. This allows you to tailor your search for a suitable holiday apartment or holiday home to your own daily plans.

Summer Trails, Lake and Mountain Panorama

In summer, the Zürsersee Trail begins in the centre of Zürs. This starting point is particularly convenient for travellers who want to set off directly from the village. In summer, the Seekopf nature mountain is an excursion destination for hikers, those seeking relaxation and nature lovers, and is located at an altitude of over 2,200 metres. In summer, the Zürsersee is just a few steps from the mountain station of the Seekopfbahn. This gives you different options: You can plan a trail starting in the village or focus your excursion on a high-altitude destination and the lake.

Further landscape experiences lead along longer connections. The first stage of the Green Ring runs from the Rüfikopf via the Monzabonsee and the Hüttenbibliothek to Zürs. The White Ring connects Lech, Zürs, Zug and Oberlech over 22 kilometres. A hiking trail also leads towards Zürs via Ochsengümple and the Rauekopfscharte. These different routes allow you to plan different aspects of the mountain landscape depending on your preferred route and areas of interest.

Winter Hikes and Cross-Country Ski Trails

Zürs also offers several clearly described options in winter. The winter hiking trail from Lech to Zürs follows the course of the Zürsbach before reaching the centre of Zürs am Arlberg. Anyone looking for a route with a destination outside the village can consider the winter hiking route from Zürs to the Flexen Pass. It faces south and has many benches for resting. At the pass, the Flexenhäusl is a good place to stop for refreshments before returning to Zürs am Arlberg.

For cross-country skiing, the trail to the Flexen Pass and back is an interesting option: It starts in Zürs behind the Trittkopfbahn. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish between whether a winter hike, a cross-country ski trail or a connection between places is the main priority. The Flexenbahn and the Auenfeldjet connect Lech Zürs directly with St. Anton/Stuben and Warth-Schröcken. Eight World Cup races have already been held on the ski run in the Flexenarena. This historical racing detail adds a notable aspect to the present-day view of this winter sports resort.

Find a Holiday Apartment to Suit Your Travel Plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Zürs, it is worth deciding first what type of trip you want. In summer, you can focus your stay on mountain panoramas and trails, and in winter on winter hikes and cross-country skiing. If your travel group has different preferences, this seasonal and thematic focus can help you choose a suitable base for shared daily activities.

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, consider whether you plan to spend most of your days in Zürs or want to include connections to other places in the Arlberg region. The key consideration is therefore which experiences should define your stay and which accommodation location best suits your personal plans.
