Experience the unique winter landscape around Lech Zürs am Arlberg in the fresh, clear winter air. You can also discover really special views away from all the hustle and bustle.

Experience the alpine scenery from up high! The Arlberg region offers you the „Sonnenabo“ lift pass, so you can use the mountain and valley lifts at a reasonable price and enjoy the magical high-altitude winter hiking trails.

Whether by day or at night – a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh is always a highlight of your winter holiday!

Leave the earth behind and feel liberated as soon as you take off, with no constraints and no engine noise, floating feely, only joined to the wing by a couple of cords, feeling the strength of the air currents amid our beautiful countryside. Forget everyday life and enjoy being totally on our own.

This feeling is never stronger than when you are flying and you can experience it here by trying tandem paragliding.

Lech Start: bridge near Aparthotel Filomena

As well as sensational paragliding flights, we also offer spectacular thermal flights and fascinating panoramic flights. Also suitable for groups. See you in the sky!
