Overview

On the edge of Zürs town centre in a quiet location, the Hotel Edelweiss is an eclectic hotel with great access to the slopes. The family-run hotel has a traditional atmosphere that you would expect from an Austrian hotel with colourful interior design.

You will be based just 150 metres from the nearest lifts and you have access to the whole Arlberg Ski Area, the largest interlinked ski area in Austria. The bus stops right outside the hotel and you are able to explore all Zürs has to offer in your central location.

Choose from a selection of rooms from the Double Superior up to the Superior Suite which can sleep up to five. All rooms are uniquely decorated with bold patterns and colourful designs.

In the evening you can enjoy the hotel's bar and restaurant, where guests will be served a four-course evening meal. The Hotel Edelweiss has a small wellness area with sauna, steam room and cold tub to enjoy after a day on the slopes.

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…
