    A pleasant hike between the modern villages of Lech am Arlberg and Zürs am Arlberg.

    You start at Rüfiplatz and walk to Hotel Pfefferkorn, where you take the small side road uphill to the Ebra district. Turn left there and follow the signposted winter hiking trail into the forest. You cross the main road and continue following the course of the Zürsbach river until you cross the main road again over a viaduct and reach the Zürs biomass heating plant. Now it is only a few metres to the centre of Zürs am Arlberg.

    You can also take the free ski bus to Zürs am Arlberg and walk in the opposite direction.
