Heli-skiing in Lech am Arlberg

Exclusive powder. Ultimate freedom.

Heli-skiing in the Arlberg region offers a rare and privileged alpine experience. With breathtaking summit access by helicopter, you reach terrain otherwise inaccessible. From untouched deep powder fields to sun-kissed spring firn slopes, every descent is unique. The helicopter lands high above Lech, where panoramic views stretch across the entire Arlberg massif before your unforgettable run begins. Safety is our highest priority. Every heli-skiing trip must be escorted by an experienced ski and mountain guide from Skischule Lech. Flights are available Monday to Friday (excluding holidays), weather permitting. Reservations are handled exclusively via the Skischule Lech office and can only be accepted at very short notice due to weather and operational factors.
