Hiking in the Lech Valley & on the Lechweg

The path to your self

When hiking in the Lech Valley, they are everywhere: the power spots in the Tyrolean Lech Nature Park, which invite you to pause for a moment. The waters of the Lech flow from Vorarlberg through the Lech Valley and form one of the last wild river landscapes in Europe. The Lech Valley and Allgäu Alps rise next to it. Together they form the hiking paradise Lechtal with a variety of possibilities: 

from pleasant walks in the valley, a leisurely hike with the whole family to one of the popular alpine pastures and snack stations, or high up on the countless mountain peaks with breathtaking views - like on a hike on our local mountain, the Pimig. Everyday life retreats into the background and you are completely at peace with yourself and the experience of nature.

Multi-day tours in the Lech Valley

Long-distance hiking trail Lechweg

From the spring to the waterfall

From the spring to the waterfall

As a "Leading Quality Trail", the Lechweg is considered one of the best long-distance hiking trails in Europe. On the Lechweg you hike from the spring near the Formarinsee in Vorarlberg, further through the beautiful Lech Valley in Tyrol. After 125 km you reach the Lechfall in Füssen in the Allgäu in the foothills of the Alps.

You can walk the Lechweg in 7 - 12 legs - it is considered to be easily mastered. From Steeg, undertake the stages from Lake Formanrin to the Stanzach leg or stay overnight at the Lechquell Hotel Post Steeg between the stages "Warth to Steeg" and "Steeg to Bach".
