After an eventful day of skiing, there's nothing better than relaxing at après-ski in Lech and Zürs and rounding off the evening. The region around Lech am Arlberg offers a variety of options for a proper après-ski experience. From cosy stop-offs in stylish ski huts to exuberant parties in trendy bars - everyone will find their favourite place to party here. Discover the best après-ski hotspots and enjoy the lively charm of the Arlberg winter season.
The term ‘après-ski’ was first coined at the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France. Originally, the social gathering after a day of skiing was characterised by fine food and wine in fashionable clothing. Today, après-ski has developed into a worldwide trend, where the focus is on partying right next to the piste in ski huts and umbrella bars. With atmospheric music and a selection of hot and cold drinks, après-ski is an integral part of winter sports.
Lech and Zürs am Arlberg offer a wide range of après-ski options. Zürs is a little more cosy and stylish, while Lech delights with a mix of traditional après-ski huts and modern umbrella bars. The region is not called one of the best après-ski destinations in Austria for nothing. The valley stations of most ski lifts and the main street in Lech are lined with venues that are perfect for a stop-off after a day's skiing. Popular spots are also the ski huts directly on the piste, where you can fortify yourself during the day and enjoy a ‘Jagatee’ before the last descent into the valley.
One of the après-ski highlights in Lech is the Kriegeralpe at around 2,000 metres above sea level. This alpine hut is known for its rustic atmosphere, local food and the perfect end to a day's skiing. We also recommend the BURG ice bar in the BURG Hotel in Oberlech. Après-ski parties are held here on a regular basis, with renowned DJs setting the mood and serving refreshing drinks and culinary delights. The parties take place every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 14:30 to 19:00 and are a must for every après-ski fan.
Thanks to the daily village bus, which runs free of charge between Zürs and Lech until 19:00, the après-ski venues are easily accessible. For even more variety, you can also discover the lively après-ski scene in St. Anton, which is a little further away. Whether in Lech, Zürs or St. Anton - the region around the Arlberg offers countless opportunities for unforgettable après-ski experiences.
