This beautiful long-distance hiking trail is 120 km long. You can either choose to tackle a single stage of the route or if you’re feeling particularly adventurous why not try a challenging but beautiful longer hike. The first section begins near the sources of the river Lech and then the route leads on from the Formarinsee Lake to Warth am Arlberg and on into the Nature park region through the Lech Valley down to the town of Reutte. The final stage ends at the Lech Waterfall near Füssen in the neighbouring German region of Allgäu. The route is long but not too demanding. Some sections of the route are ideal for families. Children love hiking through such an impressive river landscape. Why not bring a picnic and make the most of the pure mountain air and the clear waters of the Lech river?

In the Lech Valley people never get bored of hiking? There are so many peaks to scale and mountain huts and pastures to be explored. The Lechtaler Höhenweg (Lech Valley Mountain Path) is a legendary mountain trail of exceptional beauty for people who have outstanding mountaineering skills. The trail is 85 kilometres long and sits at an altitude of between 2,000 and 2,500 meters. The route follows the main ridge of the Lechtal Alps and there are 13 Alpine Club huts along the route which offer refuge, accommodation and the best food to hungry visitors.

The Lech Valley has a large selection of mountain bike routes for visitors to enjoy. If you’d like to experience the best of what the Lech Valley has to offer, go and explore its side valleys. It seems as if time has stood still in the Krabachtal, Bockbachtal and Madautal valleys. You won’t find anywhere else in the Lech Valley which is so unspoilt and authentic.

The Lech river is perfect for exciting rafting or kayak tours, which are also suitable for children. Canyoning is a great way to see the wild, unspoilt gorges and beautiful waterfalls of the Lech Valley.
