Private luxury moments.

Summer transforms the natural surroundings of Lech Zürs. Having shed their white winter coating, the mountains possess a true elemental beauty that makes them even more sublime. They appear primal, almost a little raw, but this is wonderfully offset by the lush green of the meadows and forests. As they gently wind around the majestic peaks, they positively demand to be explored step by step on a hiking tour.

In summer, Lech Zürs exerts a special appeal as a retreat and a haven of peace that helps restore a sense of harmony to body and mind. Located at the Arlberg, it has attracted mountain enthusiasts for over a century and has earned a global reputation as part of the elite “Best of the Alps” network. Nevertheless, the range of activities that go beyond the everyday is not limited to hikes and mountaineering – Lech Zürs also boasts a variety of sporting and cultural options. While visitors to this “World Gourmet Village” are free to delight in the wonderful creations served up by top chefs, those with a thirst for knowledge can engage in a rewarding intellectual exchange. At the Arlberg, big ideas have room to grow.

This is the inspiring magic of summer in Lech Zürs: it opens our eyes to everything that everyday life keeps hidden.

22. Philosophicum Lech 19. bis 23. September 2018 • Lech am Arlberg Freude am Fahren

Symbolfoto

Die Hölle, das sind die anderen. Seit Jean-Paul Sartres existentialistischer Deutung der Hölle ist klar: Es sind die Menschen selbst, die sich ihr eigenes und das Leben der anderen zur Hölle machen. Das ursprünglich religiös gedachte Modell der Hölle wird zur Metapher, mit der wir jene Situationen beschreiben, die als unzumutbar, quälend, letztlich unerträglich empfunden werden.

IKONE EINER NEUEN ZEIT. DER ERSTE BMW i8 ROADSTER.

Allerdings: In jeder Hölle steckt noch ihr religiöser Kern. Die Höllenqualen, die sich Menschen ausgemalt haben, waren auch Dokumente eines frühen Bewusstseins von Gerechtigkeit. Die Konzepte dieser religiösen Vorstellungen einer ausgleichenden jenseitigen Gerechtigkeit reichen von einer freudlosen Unterwelt über ein reinigendes Fegefeuer bis zur ewigen Verdammnis.

Beim 22. Philosophicum Lech werden Philosophen, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaftler und Vertreter benachbarter Disziplinen über die Hölle und ihre religiösen und weltlichen Dimensionen referieren und die Frage, was es bedeutet, dass ein überholtes theologisches Konzept zum Inbegriff unerträglicher menschlicher Zustände werden konnte, mit dem Publikum diskutieren.

Reach for the summit

Anyone looking to truly experience the mountain must approach it step by step. If you follow your own inner rhythm, you will be rewarded with a new sense of strength and calm.

After all, hiking is more than just a sport: it is a passion for movement, best combined with a love of nature. At the Arlberg, we celebrate this passion with over 350 kilometres of marked hiking trails and outstanding rest areas. We also offer the Lech Card, which enables guests to enjoy discounts on leisure activities and free cable car travel all summer long.

E X P LO R E O N FO OT

Experience Lech in summer Lech Zürs features a comprehensive network of trails covering all difficulty levels, with options ranging from high-altitude routes to family hikes. These trails lead visitors to roaring wild rivers, tranquil mountain lakes, stunning vantage points at the summits and rustic mountain huts.

THEMED TRAILS The Arlberg boasts three themed trails that wind their way through the mountain landscape. Much more than mere hiking routes, they give walkers the time to fall in love with nature. First, Der Grüne Ring (“The Green Ring”) includes three stages that lead to the most beautiful locations and immerse you in a new world of myth and legend. Next, the Lechweg trail sees long-distance hikers follow the route of Europe’s last remaining wild river. And finally, the high-altitude Tannbergweg trail takes in a collection of sights, residences and legends from the history of the Walser people settlement Lech Zürs.

32

G U I D E D E XC U R S I O N S A voyage of discovery with the Lech Card: every week, expert hiking guides in Lech Zürs host a herbal excursion, a hike to the Körbersee lake and a magical journey through the ages on the geological circular hiking trail.

I N T E R AC T I V E HIKING MAP The interactive hiking map enables you to filter and plan your routes around Lech Zürs based on customised parameters including the level of difficulty, duration, views and refreshment options.

GETTING AROUND IN SUMMER

Cable cars

In Lech Zürs, the summer cable cars and gondola lifts make it easy to explore the Alpine landscape. These cutting-edge systems help you soar up to the summits, experience the mountain with the whole family and take a fresh look at nature. They are also free of charge for Lech Card holders.

R Ü F I KO P F B A H N C A B L E C A R 1,450–2,355m As you stand on the viewing platform, you can enjoy the terrific panorama that stretches from the Arlberg to Lake Constance. The Rüfikopf mountain serves as the starting point for the first stage of “Der Grüne Ring” (“The Green Ring”) to Zürs, the journey through the history of the earth along the Geoweg Rüfikopf trail and a wide variety of hikes in the direction of the Stuttgarter Hütte hut or Valluga.

Alternatively, you can relax on the banks of the Monzabonsee lake or take on the crag. Be sure to visit the Panoramarestaurant, which features a wonderful sun terrace and serves up traditional delicacies including Kaiserschmarren shredded pancake and ploughman’s lunch.

Lech Festival Wine

In Lech, the interplay of taste sensations takes on crucial importance. Every year, local restaurateurs and sommeliers team up with their counterparts in the partner towns of Beaver Creek (USA), Kampen (on the island of Sylt, Germany) and Hakuba (near Nagano in Japan) to crown the “Lech Festival Wine” from Weinviertel wine growing region in Lower Austria.

THE WINNING WINES An independent jury selects the winning Weinviertel DAC wines in the Grüner Veltliner and Zweigelt categories, together with red wine cuvée.

The project, which falls under the authority of the Probus winemakers’ initiative run by Generali, is conducted in collaboration with the regional wine committee of the Weinviertel itself and the Weinstrasse Weinviertel association.

G R Ü N E R V E LT L I N E R , A SPICY AND PEPPERY DELIGHT The Lech Festival Wine – Weinviertel DAC – is closely connected to the Grüner Veltliner grape variety. This

ch and Zürs !

Weinviertel DAC is the typical wine of the Weinviertel region, which is the largest of its kind in Austria. It is easy to distinguish on account of its light to greenish-yellow colour and its spicy, peppery and mildly fruity taste. The DAC label denotes typical regional taste and guaranteed origin.

You can also purchase it in a beautiful gift box from Vinothek Pfefferkorn enoteca as a memento of your wonderful holiday in Lech.

Lech ZĂźrs is the ideal place to explore your passion for skiing. Enjoy a unique sense of freedom as you glide along the slopes in the Alpine wonderland at the Arlberg. For those who have already experienced the magic of skiing in Lech ZĂźrs, it will come as no surprise that the sport has been at the heart of the region for over a century. This love of skiing has helped make the Arlberg a legendary destination that attracts fans from all over the world every year.

S K I I N G AT T H E A R L B E R G

Experience Lech in winter When the first snow falls in Lech Zürs, nature is coated in skiing enthusiasts’ favourite colour: white. Anticipation soon reaches fever pitch, with fans eager to return to the 305 kilometres of marked ski runs and countless freeride options. All the cutting-edge cable cars and lifts that combine to form the Ski Arlberg ski area can be accessed with a single ticket – the Ski Arlberg ski pass.

A U S T R I A’ S LARGEST SKI AREA Over the course of many years, there have been ongoing efforts to establish a fully interconnected ski area at the Arlberg – and with the opening of the new Flexenbahn cable car, the dream has become a reality. This investment has helped create a continuous network encompassing St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Zürs, Lech, Oberlech, Schröcken and Warth.

A NEW DIMENSION OF SKIING The enormous scope of the Ski Arlberg ski area serves as its most prominent seal of quality, promising skiers a wonderfully wide-ranging experience. A total of 88 cutting-edge lifts and cable cars ensure that the 305 kilometres of signposted ski runs are fully interconnected – and there are a further 200 kilometres of premium off piste powder snow runs to boot. Go to www.skiarlberg.at to find out more.

R U N O F FA M E The most demanding way to experience Ski Arlberg in all its glory is the Run of Fame. Featuring 18,000 metres of ascents and descents, this 85-kilometre circuit leads from Rendl in St. Anton via Zürs and Lech before reaching Warth. Visit www.run-offame.ski for additional information.

OFF-PISTE: A SENSE OF FREEDOM Arlberg is beloved by the freeriding community thanks to the large amounts of snow and of course the variety of powder snow lines. The terrific atmosphere at the Arlberg also plays a key role for these off-piste thrill-seekers.

DER WEISSE RING (“THE WHITE RING”) – THE SKIING CIRCUIT This is yet another legendary skiing circuit, combining the Arlberg locations of Zürs, Lech, Oberlech and Zug by means of nature and technology. Skiers must overcome 5,500 metres of ascents and descents on the 22-kilometre run. See www.derweissering.at for further details.
