Walking
There are numerous marked walking routes around St Anton and Lech, leading you into some truly breathtaking countryside full of majestic mountains, Alpine meadows, forests, streams and crystal-clear lakes. The whole Arlberg area is a walker’s paradise, with a network of over 500km of kilometres of paths. The routes vary from hour long strolls to three-day hikes with overnight stops. To really get the most out of your time in the mountains and see them in a whole new light join one of the local guides.
Why not try…- the high-Alpine flower hike – a 10 hour hike on which you’ll see numerous rare and beautiful plants that only grow above 2,000m
- seeking out some of the life-size cast iron human figures by British sculptor Anthony Gormley in the mountains above Lech
