Lech: Hotel Mohnenfluh - Terrasse - Oberlech am Arlberg
Oberlech straddles the slopes beneath Mohnenfluh in Vorarlberg’s Arlberg mountains, and this high setting has made it the elevated, largely car-free part of Lech. Meadows, scattered farm buildings and mountain tracks give the settlement a more open character than the valley village below, while Mohnenfluh’s rocky flanks define its northern side. Oberlech belongs to the interconnected Ski Arlberg area, and its surrounding pastures are also crossed by walking routes. The Lech valley forms part of the headwaters of the Lech River, which continues north into Bavaria. The wider Arlberg region played an important role in the development of Alpine ski technique in the early 20th century.

Gemeinde Lech occupies a high Alpine valley on the upper Lech River in Vorarlberg. The municipality includes the resort settlements of Lech, Zürs, Zug and Stubenbach, set amid the Arlberg mountains near the Tyrolean border. Lech is central to Ski Arlberg, whose lifts connect an extensive network of pistes with neighbouring resorts. Modern tourism developed from a settlement founded by Walser migrants in the 14th century, a heritage still reflected in local building traditions. Each winter, the White Ring race brings skiers to a circuit between Lech and Zürs. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Lech and Vorarlberg.

Built around Alpine valley routes and the Rhine corridor, Vorarlberg grew into Austria’s westernmost federal state, where the Alps meet the shores of Lake Constance. The Rhine forms much of its border with Switzerland, while the Bregenzerwald, Arlberg and Montafon give the region a strongly mountainous character. Bregenz, on Lake Constance, is known internationally for the Bregenz Festival and its lakeside floating stage. Compact towns, timber architecture and a long textile-manufacturing tradition reflect a region linked closely to neighbouring Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
