Hiking

While Lech draws most if its visitors during the winter for its famous “White Ring,” the largest connected ski area of Austria, these same 190 miles of trails transform into the “Green Ring” in summer, when they are a paradise for nature lovers.

The Rufikopf Geo Trail is particularly noteworthy for the 200 million-year-old shell fossils that are preserved in the rocks here, and once lined the ocean floor. Indagare can help arrange a hike to see the fossils, lakes and glaciers with an expert guide. For a longer, multi-day hiking adventure, the 77-mile Lechweg River Trail runs along the turquoise Lech River from Vorarlberg to Bavaria, Germany. Popular sites to visit along the Lechweg Trail are the Highline 179 Suspension Bridge and Tirol Lech Nature Park.
