Sledding fun for the young and the young at heart
What could be more thrilling and fun than to grab a toboggan and sled down a snowy mountain side? The deep powder hill sides in our region are perfect for it.
Get ready for a real sledding adventure, day and night on our lit-up toboggan run from Oberlech to Lech.
Our 1.2km toboggan run winds its way down the mountain through the forest with many twists and turns through high and soft bumps of deep-powder snow. You will finish your ride down the mountain with a rapid downhill part which leads you directly to the valley station of the Oberlech gondola. From there it only takes 4 minutes by Oberlech Bergbahn to be back at the start and go for another run down the mountain.
Heliskiing
Lech-Zürs belongs to the rare skiing areas where you can still take part in heliskiing.
At present, heliskiing is possible on the following mountain tops:
MEHLSACK (flour bag):
Suitable for experienced skiers, deep powder as well as firn during spring skiing.
SCHNEETAL – ORGELSCHARTE:
The landing spot is located below the “Orgelscharte”. The downhill run will lead into the “Schneetal” (snowy valley) and ends behind Zug. This run is best during spring skiing and also suitable for intermediate level skiers.
If you are interested, you can book packages for up to 4 people including a ski guide through the ski schools Lech and Zürs.
