    A somewhat longer tour, which requires some physical condition, but offers wonderful views into the snow-covered winter landscape.

    From the mountain station of the Oberlech mountain railway, follow the winter hiking trail uphill to the right. This will take you to the hamlet of “Schlössle” from where you continue straight ahead between the houses and continue on the winter hiking trail towards the Tannegg vantage point. Here you keep left and hike uphill past the hut Der Wolf to the Kriegeralpe. After a refreshing stop at the rustic hut, take the same path back again. You can also extend the hike if you start directly in Lech am Arlberg.

    Take your time and enjoy the peace and quiet away from the ski slope.
