THE VIBE

Zürs sits high on the Flexenpass and has ski access toward Lech and the Rauz junction. Its signature White Ring is a circuit of lifts, pistes and a ski route, including the descent from Madloch to Zug. Choose it for a group comfortable with the route and the day’s conditions. Epic partner access depends on an eligible pass and qualifying stay at a participating property.

Best For

  • ✓Skiers comfortable with mixed-terrain circuits
  • ✓Groups staying close to the lifts
  • ✓Travellers who appreciate hotel dining in the village

Skip If

  • ✗You prefer a large town centre
  • ✗You need a wide choice of lower-cost lodging directly at the lifts
