Trail running in Lech
Happier through alpine exercise
Our guests feel it intuitively and it has been scientifically proven: Even a short stay at medium altitudes, between 1,500 and 2,500 metres, combined with exercise has a positive effect on health and leads to lasting well-being. Body and mind regenerate and a feeling of happiness spreads. The Austrian Moderate Altitude Study I and II have confirmed this. The studies were carried out in Lech Zürs am Arlberg, among other places. In other words: The fact that sport in Lech Zürs makes you happy is scientifically proven.
