Fishing in Lech

Gallery

Crystal clear waters, wild creeks and the tranquil and flowing waters of the Arlberg invite anglers to try their luck. A solid stock of riverine brown trout and rainbow trout populates Formarinsee lake and Spullersee lake, where they share their habitat with lake trout and speckled trout.

Even if you haven’t passed a fishing test, you can still try your luck. Appropriate fishing behaviour is the only prerequisite for the purchase of a day ticket, which we are happy to organise. Please note that fishing with barbed hooks is strictly prohibited throughout the entire area.

After your successful day trip, you are welcome to hand your freshly caught fish over to our chefs who will conjure up a fish dish of your choice out of it.

Formarinsee

The Formarinsee Lake is just as easy to reach by Lech’s local bus via the toll road into the Zugertal valley as the Spullersee. This mountain lake in the Lech headwaters is not just the starting point of the Lech’s path but also an exceptional natural treasure that was recently chosen as Austria’s most beautiful spot due to its unique beauty. The lake accommodates a good stock of rainbow and brook trout. The magnificent nature does its bit for unforgettable fishing in the mountains.

Season: June to September, Day pass: EUR 28,-

Spullersee

The Spullersee Lake is situated at 1,810 m altitude surrounded by fantastic mountain scenery. Easy to reach using the Lech local bus, this lake offers everything an alpine angler’s heart desires. Rainbow trout, brown trout and lake trout, Arctic char and brook trout as well as wonderful fish from the salmon family can be caught almost anywhere in the roughly 50-hectare reservoir.

Season: June - October, Day pass: EUR 33,-

Lechbach

17 km of this beautiful high-elevation stream are accessible for fishing. The Lechbach stream is a paradise for fly fishing fans. The varied appearance of the Lech river is characterised by deep, winding gorges as well as shallow gravel stretches and crystal-clear pools. Rainbow and riverine brown trout can be fished in the Lechbach stream.

Season: June to September, Day pass: € 44,- with Lech Card, € 51,- without
