The White Ring is not only one of the most legendary ski circuits in the Alps, but also the venue for a unique ski race. Professionals and amateurs compete on over 22 kilometers of pistes in this traditional race, which takes place every year in January. The route connects the villages of Lech, Zürs, Zug and Oberlech - and demands not only fitness but also technique from the participants. Up to 1,000 starters take part every year. The event is particularly appealing due to its mixture of sporting competition and alpine folk festival.

Spectators enjoy the atmosphere along the course or at the finish line in the center of Lech. Numerous side events, parties and award ceremonies take place after the race. The backdrop of the wintry mountains adds a magical touch to the whole event. If you want to take part, you need to register early - starting places are in high demand. The spectacle is also a real highlight for visitors in January.

An event like no other: at Fantastic Gondolas, the Rüfikopf gondolas are transformed into floating art and music spaces. International DJs, VJs and light artists perform in the gondolas and mountain station with audiovisual installations, light art and electronic music. The event combines modern nightlife with an alpine atmosphere - futuristic and fascinating at the same time.

Guests glide through the winter sky at night, while the mountains are bathed in colored light. Inside, beats and creative visuals pulsate. In addition to the gondolas, there are also performances in the mountain station, the Skyspace Lech and on the slopes. The audience is young, style-conscious and international. Fantastic Gondolas is a real insider tip for art and music lovers. Anyone who wants to experience Lech from its experimental, creative side should make a note of this event.

In the run-up to Christmas, Lech is transformed into a winter wonderland. The scent of cinnamon, pine resin and mulled wine fills the air while the Advent market lights up with atmosphere. Regional handicrafts, culinary specialties and music create a contemplative atmosphere. The highlight is the festive opening of the market with choirs and a candlelight procession.

Children can enjoy pony rides, craft stations and a visit from St. Nicholas. Lech also has plenty to offer culturally during Advent - from Advent concerts to readings in the old schoolhouse. The combination of alpine winter scenery and traditional customs makes this event unique. Away from the hustle and bustle, romantic winter hiking trails, horse-drawn sleigh rides and fireside evenings invite you to slow down. For many of our regular guests, the Advent season in Lech is the real insider tip among the winter months.

At the Arlberg vineyard, everything revolves around fine enjoyment: wine, culinary delights and top-class cuisine merge into an exclusive event in Lech. Winegrowers from all over Europe present their finest wines - from natural wine to Burgundy and champagne. Top chefs from Austria and beyond also cook up a feast - often in creative pairings or as part of themed evenings.

Workshops, tastings and gala dinners complete the program. A special highlight is the Wine & Dine in small, personal groups directly with the winegrowers. The stylish locations - from luxury hotels to ski lodges - provide the perfect ambience. This event is a must for gourmets and wine lovers. It is not just a wine tasting, but a cultural experience at the highest level. Anyone who wants to combine indulgence with alpine flair will be spoiled here.

The Tanzcafé Arlberg Music Festival is the lively end to the winter season. Musicians from a wide range of genres perform at various locations - from ski huts to open-air stages. Swing, jazz, electro, funk and soul create a relaxed festival atmosphere in the snow.

The afternoon concerts on the sun terraces of the mountain huts are particularly popular. Here, skiers dance in their ski boots while the last rays of sunlight bathe the slopes in golden light. The atmosphere is exuberant, stylish and warm. The festival attracts a young, international audience - and is family-friendly at the same time. With free concerts, DJ sets and culinary specials, every visit is an experience. The perfect mix of music, spring and alpine lifestyle. Simply legendary.

Winter in Lech tastes of more - of sophistication, regionality and genuine passion. Gourmets will find a culinary density here that is unparalleled in the Alps. From rustic huts with traditional classics such as Käsknöpfle and Tiroler Gröstl to internationally acclaimed fine dining in over 20 gourmet restaurants, there is something for every palate here.

Lech is particularly well-known for its Michelin-starred gastronomy: restaurants such as the “Post Lech” offer regional ingredients at a world-class level. The hotels' wine cellars are richly stocked with top Austrian and international wines - no wonder that events such as the Arlberg Weinberg

take place here. Those taking a break on the slopes at lunchtime can enjoy classics such as Wiener Schnitzel, truffle pasta or Kaiserschmarrn on the sun terraces - often accompanied by chilled music and a glass of champagne. Culinary delights in Lech are not just a necessity - they are an experience.

In addition to sporting activities, our Lech Lodges also offer the perfect backdrop for deep relaxation. The clear mountain air, the tranquillity of nature and our in-house, first-class wellness facilities make the resort a refuge for body and soul. Our lodges therefore have exclusive spa areas with saunas, steam baths and views of the winter landscape.

Massages with alpine oils, herbal treatments and cosmetic treatments at the highest level invite you to escape from everyday life. Particularly soothing: a bath in the warm water while the snow falls softly outside - an experience to remember.
