Backcountry skiing routes in Lech Zürs und Stuben am Arlberg

A marvellous variant in very spacious terrain that is also suitable for weaker skiers. However, the steep, often heavily tracked descent towards Stuben is often unpleasant.

A long, albeit not particularly steep downhill variant, from which you used to be able to ski from Lech to Warth. The merger of the two ski areas has made this variant somewhat more popular, as you can get back to the starting point very quickly.

An easy variant that can be skied very well even in tricky conditions. The terrain is not very demanding. By skilfully choosing your tracks, you can still find good powder even in strong sunlight.

A mega classic that leads from Zürs to Lech and is an absolute highlight in terms of scenery.

Great north-facing descent variant for which, however, you have to invest 30 minutes in the ascent.

Spectacular slope with partly very steep downhill passages.

Slightly more challenging variant of the Erzberg with hilly, interesting terrain sections.

A rarely travelled variant of the Valluga with a challenging approach via the ridge. In return, you are rewarded with a homogeneous north-facing slope.

Very beautiful variation with a long traverse at the start. There is a steep narrow section in the middle, which can be a little uncomfortable with long skis. Then it's a moderate descent down to piste no. 10 and on to Zürs.

The "Antenna", as the run is also known among locals, is a very good alternative if many standard variants have already been tracked and you are not afraid to hike a little. This sporty variant should only be ridden if the conditions allow it, as the lower section is in relatively steep terrain with unfavourable catchment areas.
