Getting There & Around
Buses run between Lech and Zürs (€1.30, seven minutes); both resorts have connections
to St Anton am Arlberg. For Bludenz (€5.80, two hours) and beyond, a change in Ratza-
lpe is required.
One kilometre south of Zürs is the Flexen Pass (1773m), occasionally blocked off by
snow in winter, after which the road splits: the western fork leads to Stuben (1407m), the
eastern one to St Anton am Arlberg in Tyrol. In summer, Lech can also be approached
from the north, via the turning at Warth (1494m).
