Unspoilt landscape

Unspoilt landscape - Burg Hotel Oberlech

A dip in the cool water?

Whether in the crystal-clear mountain lake, the mountain stream fresh from the spring or the fairytale forest swimming pool – enjoy the summer temperatures.

The Lech forest swimming pool awaits you directly on the Lech River, in the midst of the wonderful mountain world, with water heated to 25 degrees. A small rock island, the water slide, the large children’s pool and a picturesque sunbathing lawn make this bath a small adventure in the middle of the Alps.
Lake Spuller, Lake Formarin and Lake Butzen are refreshing cooling options on hot summer days from May to September. Or take a dip in the cool waters of the Lech.
How about a spot of climbing in the gorge while canyoning and then swimming in the white water? This can also be done on guided tours.
If the weather is bad, head to the Burg’s indoor pool.

A sure shot with the bow

You can almost see the first figure from the Burg Hotel. 17 life-size wild animal dummies are positioned around the course by the Petersboden valley station in Oberlech. The “hunting ground” for archers leads all the way down to the Rud-Alpe. Even if the 3D animals don’t move – optimally drawing and aiming the bow with the arrow is itself a challenge.

How many bull’s-eyes can you hit?

Summiteer?

Of course! Just looking to try climbing? In the Spullersee climbing garden in Lech or in front of the Konstanzerhütte, the mountain and Alpine schools on the Arlberg show you how to tackle the sport safely. But beginners also like to test themselves on the 42 different rope courses in the Schröcken adventure park. Experienced and in good shape? Then on to the well-known Arlberg via ferrata, which is tackled from St. Anton am Arlberg. From the Weissschrofenspitze (2,752 m) you have a stunning view of the mountains on the Arlberg. Also breathtaking: the ascent to the Karhorn from the mountain station of the Steffisalpbahn in Warth.

On with the running shoes!

Feeling good? Of course! The Arlberg boasts ideal conditions for sports. Over 54 kilometres of running trails have been selected and tested by experts. From easy to moderately difficult to difficult, you decide how rocky your path should be. Marked routes and signs show the right way.

Altitude training with effect! A positive effect on health and a lasting improvement in well-being. Proven e.g. in a scientific AMAS study in Lech 1998.

Ambitious? Then be part of it: trail runners and mountain runners can give it their all at the annual running event “The White Ring – The Trail Challenge”.

A bird’s eye view

Unfold your paraglider and take off from Rüfikopf for an unforgettable experience. You soar through the Arlberg holiday sky as free and light as a bird. The fascinating mountains around you, beautiful Lech looking tiny from above. You land safely and excitedly at the valley station of the Flühen lift.

Paragliding is also possible in winter on the Arlberg, starting at the Kriegerhorn.

The Flight Connection Arlberg offers tandem jumps – even different types of flight: from gliding flight to thermal flight to panoramic flight.

Happy fishing on the Arlberg!

Whether in the Lechbach or at the mountain lake: fishing on the Arlberg is still something of an insider tip. And as long as you behave fairly towards the fish – i.e. fish in a sportsmanlike way without barbs – you don’t necessarily need a fishing licence, but can go out with a day permit. Happy fishing!

Fishing season for amateur anglers: from mid-June to September.
