One of the highest resorts in the Arlberg, Zürs is well connected to the skiing of Lech and Zürs but not quite to that of St Anton at St Christoph, a short journey away over the Arlberg Pass. (It is possible to actually ski it - from the top of St Anton's legendary Valuga Peak back to Zürs, if you're an expert skier accompanied by a guide!). Altogether there are 260km (163 miles) of trails, just under a half on the Lech/Zürs. From above, the resort looks like a few dark specks on a sea of white snow - there are no trees and no features other than the buildings and roads. You can take off in most directions and from a number of different lifts. Beginners have their nursery slopes right by the village - snowsure throughout the season thanks to its altitude. The local slopes include the parallel runs from the Trittkopf - served by a cable car and accessing largely intermediate terrain and one extreme black. More intermediate standard runs descend from the Hexenboden. Another local steep is the Zürsertäli from Muggengrat down to Zürs. There are plenty of great touring routes in the area, most famously what was called 'The White Ring' but is now better known as the 'Madloch Tour' often taken from Lech to Zürs and back but, for the best sunshine, better taken from Zürs to Lech and back! There is a permanent slalom race course with electronic timer installed by the baby lift. Ski School instructors accompany the regular heliskiing flights to the peaks of the nearby Orgelscharte and Mehlsack mountains. So regular is the service that a 'Heliskiing Pass' is even available for frequent heli-skiers on these repeat routes. For cross-country skiers the main trail starts behind Trittkopf Valley station and leads for 4km (nearly 3 miles) up to the Flexenpass. A 15km (9 mile) trail over to Lech starts behind the hotel Omesberg and continues through the Zug valley. There is another training trail to Stubenbach (4km/2.3 miles).
