Zürs in the Austrian Alps |
Overview One of the world's top holiday resort destinations with
guaranteed good snow and a very traditional atmosphere, Zürs
is a quiet, exclusive haven in Austria's Arlberg Mountain Range,
just 10 minutes from St. Anton. Often paired and associated with
nearby Lech, Zürs is more exclusive with a number of four and
five star hotels to accommodate visitors, of whom many are royalty
and celebrities, in style and comfort. This resort is surrounded by
truly spectacular scenery and is a refreshing antidote to the
massive resorts.
Skiing Zürs offers some of the best skiing in the world, well
renowned by a number of professional magazines and is often
frequented by return visitors and experts who simply cannot get
enough. The ski school is fantastic however visitors are advised to
book in advance, as they have been known to be booked out all
season.
Shopping Holidaymakers will find that the shopping at Zürs is not as
good as at Lech and nearby St. Anton although all skiing needs are
easily taken care of.
Restaurants There are some great restaurant choices for visitors on holiday
in Zürs although price tags are quite high and some do not
accept credit cards. Zürserhof is one of the best and
reservations are essential during peak season; Hotel Lorunser
serves some of the best food in Zürs, but is only open to
hotel guests.
Nightlife There is not too much to do après ski with only a small
disco open at the Edelweiss hotel and perhaps the most popular
venue Vernissage at the ski club Alpenrose. A holiday in Zürs
is more about being focused on quieter, private evenings, and early
mornings back on the slopes.
Activities In the general area, including Lech, it is possible to go
snowshoeing, sledding, hiking, ice skating and even play tennis or
squash.
Negatives Zürs is very exclusive and therefore very expensive.
