The range

Sitting high above the valley, Lech and Zürs hold cold, dry snow long after a storm — open, playful off-piste with a refined base.

Lift-served powder fields off the Rüfikopf, Zuger Hochlicht and the Madloch open the door to long, sweeping descents. Lech and Zürs are one connected playground. (Placeholder copy.)

It's more forgiving than St. Anton but no less rewarding — perfect for riders building confidence in the backcountry, with bigger objectives when you're ready.

Signature lines (sample — swap for your favourites)

Zuger Hochlicht

Open lift-accessed powder field with long fall-line descents.

Rüfikopf

Sweeping off-piste back towards Lech, playful and scenic.

Various~600 mIntermediate
03

Madloch to Zug

A classic point-to-point powder run when conditions line up.

N~900 mAdvanced

Snowpack, honestly. High altitude keeps the snow cold and stable, but wind-loaded lee slopes above the lifts are the thing to watch. (Replace with your real avalanche notes.)
