Rank 05
Lech Zürs am Arlberg
Austria's quiet money: big-league Arlberg snow and terrain with a village that limits its own lift capacity.
Why it is here
Ski Arlberg, which Lech and Zürs share with St. Anton, measures 300 km of slopes, 85 lifts and a 1,507 m vertical up to 2,811 m, per Skiresort.info, and is on its 2025 five-star list. Condé Nast Traveller readers ranked Lech fourteenth in Europe in 2025. Lech scores high on setting and snow; it is held below the Swiss trio because its luxury evidence is editorial, not a Knight Frank price series.
Who it is for
Skiers who want deep Arlberg snow and a discreet, family-friendly village without St. Moritz's scene.
