Firn weeks at the Arlberg - Enjoying spring skiing in Lech

 

Winter is still in its powerful phase. And yet, even now, there is a special sense of anticipation for the late winter season - the weeks when the snow begins to soften, the sun climbs higher, and the Arlberg changes its rhythm. The spring firn weeks are an invitation to let the winter season draw to a conscious close: slower-paced, sun-drenched, and with an elegance unique to this time of year.

An early start, a perfect rhythm

As spring draws closer, days on the mountain start early. The air is crisp, the peaks are still, and the morning snow is firm and grippy. With every descent, it transforms ever so slightly - from a hard surface into finely softened firn. It is the perfect setting for rhythmic turns, clean lines and effortless carving. Skiing feels weightless now, almost meditative.

Carving in the morning, savouring and relaxing in the afternoon

Firn weeks follow their own unique beat. As the sun rises higher and the slopes begin to soften, it is time to trade pace for pure indulgence. A seat on the terrace, a sweeping view of the mountains, the gentle warmth on your face. Back at Hotel Post Lech Arlberg, this feeling continues quite naturally: with exquisite gourmet cuisine, a relaxed atmosphere, and a spacious spa area. A few laps in the pool, the soothing heat of the sauna, and time to simply unwind. Late winter on the Arlberg is defined by these very contrasts - invigorating activity in the morning, followed by tranquillity, savouring, and quiet luxury in the afternoon.

The art of the season’s close

Firn weeks are no ordinary season finale. They are a conscious winding down - less bustle, more room for what truly matters. At Hotel Post Lech, this philosophy is particularly evident: time for long conversations, for exquisite culinary interludes, and for relaxing moments in the spa. All this, accompanied by views of the alpine scenery as it slowly prepares for spring. It is a luxury that does not need to be loud - and that is precisely why it is so powerful.

 

What makes firn weeks so special:

  • Ideal conditions for connoisseurs 

    Sunny days, stable weather conditions and finely softened firn create the best conditions for relaxed skiing in spring.

  • More space on the slopes 

    Less bustle, more space - for quiet descents, perfect turns and enjoyable carving in the Arlberg ski area.

  • Skiing and wellness perfectly combined 

    Skiing in the morning, sun on the terrace, award-winning gourmet cuisine and relaxation in the spa of Hotel Post Lech Arlberg – all in one day.

For those who do not wish to simply bid winter farewell, but rather to let the season draw to a stylish close, the firn weeks at the Arlberg offer the ideal moment - accompanied by crisp air and the soothing spring sun.

The Spring Skiing Package at Hotel Post Lech Arlberg is the perfect opportunity to experience this special time in all its facets – active, relaxed and truly indulgent.
