Brilliant Links to Arlberg lift Area -
07/02/2022
A week spent in Zurs with 2 and a 1/2 days of massive snow storm. We like to tick off all the runs, so used the efficient ski bus service instead of lengthy ski links to get to Lech which opened up the whole Warth Schrocken area as well as Lech and Oberlech. Also easy new link to Stuben which gave us a nice day out. Didn't make it to St Anton this time as our ski days were limited by weather. Very quiet resort of only a handful of nice hotels. Apres ski not in action due to covid rules, so cannot comment on that. We didn't queue for any lifts, but in general resort was probably a lot quieter than usual. Excellent new lifts make Zurs much better linked to the area than previously, particularly the Medloch which replaced a really slow 2 man chair to Zug.
Apres Ski: 2/5
