While describing the ski slopes in Lech, it's hard not to mention all the other slopes that guests are likely to encounter. And with obvious pleasure, because few resorts can boast such a number of prepared slopes. On two gondolas tourists can climb to the top of Rufikopf (Rufikopf, 2362 m). From there you can easily descend to Zurs on the "blue" or "red" pistes. This small town is located at an altitude of 1716 m in an intermountain basin. There are straight pistes on its slopes.
The way to Lech is via the Kriegerhorn (2173 m). There are wide snowfields with soft terrain and interesting moderately difficult pistes with turns and a stepped profile. At the bottom there is a special slope for snowboarders Schlegelkopf-Hang with a 1200 m long "pipe". A little further away are the mountains Zuger Hochlicht (Zuger Hochlicht, 2377 m) and Salober Kopf (Salober Kopf, 2043 m). These are the ones with challenging red and black slopes, as well as areas for off-piste skiing.
The ski slopes rise from many of the hotels upwards of a kilometer and offer interesting opportunities for beginners and professionals alike.
