A total of 190 kilometers of trails, set among striking mountain formations and 13 picturesque villages, are waiting to be explored.

The Lech River, the last wild river in the Northern Limestone Alps, is not only the namesake of the region but also its heartbeat. Sometimes wild, sometimes gentle, it shapes the Tyrolean valley and creates an unparalleled natural landscape. On a cross-country skiing holiday in the Lech Valley, nestled between the Lechtal and Allgäu Alps, you can let your skis glide freely – whether on classic tracks or while skating. Well-networked and clearly marked cross-country trails lead you along the distinctive Lech floodplains, through gently snow-covered forests, and across untamed meadow landscapes.
