    Mountain Biking in Lech

    Tours, Trails and Vertical Metres on the Arlberg

    A winter legend shows its summer face. Above Lech Zürs, summer means distance. Climbing. Lines through high alpine terrain. Mountain biking on the Arlberg begins where the road grows quiet.

    The Terrain

    Snow rules in winter. Summer opens a high alpine playground above Lech Zürs: around 69 marked MTB tours across the region. From the valley floor toward the summits.

    The character is all-mountain. Long climbs. Open horizons. Descents that demand focus and deliver landscape.

    Just Height. Just Grip. Just Air.

    The Rounds

    The Kriegerhorn-Runde loops upward toward the Kriegerhorn summit. With every vertical meter, Lech gets smaller. The panorama gets bigger.

    The Spullersee-Runde is the classic. Dreamy views. Refreshment stops. A tour that never rushes – and still stays in the legs.

    Just Climb. Just View. Just Descent.

    The Battery

    An E-MTB extends the range. Not the mountain. Lech Zürs turned that idea into a dedicated Bike & Hike concept: ride to the trailhead, then walk for the summit.

    Panorama goals such as Formarinsee and Rote Wand or Körbersee move within reach. The bike opens the door. The final stretch belongs to your feet.

    Just Power. Just Reach. Just Summit.

    The Pass

    For narrow tires, take the road. The Arlbergpass and Flexenpass turn a road-bike day into a clean line of bends, height, and rhythm.

    Not a detour from mountain biking. A second language for the same mountain.

    Just Tarmac. Just Pass. Just Rhythm.

    The Window

    Strolz Bikeverleih, Sportalp, and Intersport Arlberg supply the hardware. An E-MTB costs roughly EUR 30 per day. Enough to turn a spontaneous view into real range.

    The window is compact: summer, roughly late June through September or October. Few months. Serious height.

    Just Rent. Just Ride. Just Return.
