Summary
Zürs and its linked neighbour Lech are the most fashionable resorts in Austria, each able to point to a string of rich and celebrated regular visitors. But a holiday here doesn’t have to cost a lot more than in other resorts in the Alps. The village is much smaller and quieter than Lech. It has nothing resembling a centre and is rather spoiled by through-traffic, but it offers a rare and attractive combination of impressive snowfall, some of the area’s steeper slopes and comfortable hotels offering a truly personal service from their family owners.
News – this season 2011/12
A chondola (fast hybrid lift of chairs and gondola cabins) will replace the Weibermahd quad above Oberlech. The hotel Krone will undergo a major refurbishment.
