'''Lech and Zurs am Arlberg''' is a ski resort in Austria. It is reputed to be one of the finest ski areas in the world.

Get in

Easyjet flies from London Luton to Zurich, then a 2-3 hour coach ride with [http://www.arlbergexpress.com/ Arlberg Express] takes you directly to Zurs and Lech. But if you're heading to Lech you won't be flying easyjet... Scheduled flights to Zurich then the train or, more likely, private car or helicopter.

Get around

See

The rich and (wannabe) famous. Lambos and Bentleys with snow chains. The awesome Arlberg mountains.

Do

As one of Austria's largest ski resorts Lech offers a high quality skiing experience. Queuing might happen during ski school starting hours but normally you don't queue for more than 5 minutes anywhere. There are a number of high level ski schools. The Arlberg is the birth place of the ski schools. There is ski terrain for everybody, from the beginner to the alpine tourer. Best skiing though is in Zurs (lift linked, but a sleepy place to stay) or St Anton ( Bus there, theoretically off piste back).

Buy

mink, diamonds, cartier, patek phillipe, you get it...

Eat

Many of the hotels offer "half-board" accommodation and will provide breakfast and the evening meal. This can be good value if you don't mind returning to the hotel to eat.

Drink

The [http://www.frozenlech.com/site/gal_frozen.htm Ice Bar] - a frozen (and freezing) bar not too far up the piste from Lech is worth stopping at for at least one drink of champagne or vodka.

Sleep

Only if you have to. Better to ski all day and party the night away.

Get out

Before your credit card says, "sorry, no money, no ski".
