Activities in Lech that nourish
body and soul
Lech has many faces – and each one invites you to get active. If you’re looking for variety, you’ll find it right here: running trails through dewy meadows, fishing in crystal-clear mountain lakes, or teeing off surrounded by towering peaks. There’s a summer full of lightness and joy on your doorstep when you stay at the Haus Braunarl.
Between Mount Omesberg and Zug, you’ll find 54 kilometres of running and walking trails, created specifically for the Running & Walking Trails Lech-Zürs programme – all clearly marked and graded across three difficulty levels. Whether you set out before breakfast or as an afternoon wind-down, the routes from the Haus Braunarl lead across gentle meadows, along the Lechbach stream, and up to panoramic viewpoints. A simple two-sign system shows distance and direction, making it easy to plan your run – ideal for casual joggers and serious athletes alike.
Tip: For more intensive training, join a running camp with Sabine Reiner – for nature, technique, and motivation.

If you enjoy life on two or four wheels, you’ll find spectacular routes to explore around Lech. From the Flexen Pass to the Hochtannberg Pass to the Furkajoch Pass, routes with curves, hairpin bends, and viewpoints snake through three countries: Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
