Overview

A quick look at the reviews is all it takes to see why guests return to the Erzberg year after year. Excellent food, attentive service and a superb location make this hotel a firm favourite. The Zürsersee chairlift is just a minute’s walk away, so getting onto the mountain couldn’t be easier. At the end of the day, you can ski back to within a few metres of the boot room, making for a seamless start and finish to every day on the slopes.

The hotel embraces classic Alpine charm throughout. At its heart is a cosy lounge filled with comfortable armchairs, where guests can unwind beside the crackling open fire. The adjoining bar is the perfect spot for an après-ski drink, whether you’re enjoying a warming hot chocolate or something a little stronger. Traditional mountain style continues in the wood-panelled dining room, where hearty regional dishes, rich stews, succulent meats and indulgent desserts take centre stage.

For many guests, the wellness area is a real highlight. Wrap yourself in a fluffy robe and relax in the sauna or steam room after a day in the snow. If your legs need a little extra attention, a range of massages is available, offering the perfect way to soothe tired muscles and recharge for another day on the mountain.

About Zürs

Forget Lech and St Anton. This is the exclusive spot of Austrian skiing - and it's nowhere near as showy. This is understated wealth. Posh hotels, top restaurants and restrained nightlife. Even the ski school is exclusive, since most instructors are hired privately or by the same clients each year. There is beautiful scenery, although the village of Zürs doesn't have quite the same charm as Lech. To maintain pristine slopes (and just a touch of exclusivity), only 14,000 skiers are allowed on the slopes at any one time. That's about the combined total of all of Lech and Zürs' residents, so no riff-raff, please…

The skiing is extensive - 110km locally, with another 150km provided by the 'Arlberg Ski' pass (this gives additional access to St. Anton and St. Christoph). Snow reliability is superb, while the skiing is mostly for intermediates. Experts have plenty of off-piste and there are better tough runs in Zürs than Lech. Beginners have good nursery slopes, but the other terrain is challenging – Zürs is not really the best place for skiers to learn. Boarders might suggest a few improvements for the nightlife, but this is a great spot for them to learn and improve.

Overall, Zürs is an even posher enclave within an already posh area. Lech has allowed itself into the package holiday brochures - Zürs wouldn't dream of it…
