Alpine hikes in Lech
When the sun hits the summit
The sunrise hike to the Mohnenfluh is probably one of the most impressive natural spectacles in Lech am Arlberg. A moment for eternity at 2,540 metres. The ascent begins early in the morning from the hotel to Oberlech in the direction of Petersboden. Past the gypsum holes to the Mohnensattel saddle, the turquoise blue Butzensee lake awaits, which only reveals its true colourful splendour as the sun approaches. After the last and most challenging section to the summit via the Jägersteig trail, you are rewarded with a unique natural spectacle.
The eagle’s eye view from the Omeshorn
The ascent to the most famous peak in our village – the Omeshorn – is another must for every Lech enthusiast. It is surprisingly quick to reach the high plateau from the hotel via Tannegg, which many guests know from the Madloch descent in winter. Follow the steep ascent over the back of the mountain to the summit. You should be well-skilled and courageous for the last section along the ridge. The climb is worthwhile and will remain a lasting memory.
