Friday January 22 2027Description
The chairlift drops you at 2,450 metres and the whole area opens at once: 305 kilometres of runs, from Lech to St Anton, on one of the largest linked ski areas in Austria. Daniel Binette skis ahead of you. He has taught since earning his certifications with the Canadian Ski Instructors' Alliance and spent a season at Club Med in St Moritz, so he knows the mountain and he knows the pace of a group.
The January 22 departure gives nine days, six of them skiing on the Arlberg pass. The flight leaves Montreal for Zurich with Swiss International Air Lines, and a coach takes over to Lech. The package carries one 23-kilo bag, a ski bag and a boot bag, which settles the equipment question before you leave.
Lech Zürs runs from 1,450 to 2,450 metres and belongs to the Best of the Alps circle. The village is small, pedestrian in places, with shops and cafés in a valley floor that holds snow from December to April. The group also spends a day at St Anton, the other side of the area and the one with the sportier reputation.
The Hotel Bergheim houses the group for seven nights on half board: seven breakfasts and six three-course dinners, which leaves one evening free to try a table in the village. The rest of the time, you ski.
