Book Lech → ZurichTips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Lech" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
- Kiwitaxi also lists drop-offs nearby (Lech Am Arlberg). Pick the one closest to where you are staying.
