Lech/Zürs
Researched: 24 October 2026
Decide which village you need first
Lech and Zürs form one destination but are different places for equipment collection. Skiservice Strolz is listed at Lech 120, and Sporthaus Strolz Zürs at Zürs 20. If your accommodation is in Zürs, check whether that branch suits your lesson and return arrangements. Guests staying in Lech should not book by brand name alone. Strolz identifies several actual rental outlets; not every shop bearing the name handles ski collection. No verified distance in metres to the respective lift station is available here. Compare the shop address with your intended lift and the precise meeting point provided by your ski school.
Opening hours and early collection
The official resort directory lists 8:30 am–6 pm for Skiservice Strolz in Lech, extended to 7 pm on Saturdays, and 8:30 am–6 pm daily for Sporthaus Zürs. These published hours were checked on 24 October 2026 and should be confirmed for your actual travel day. Strolz allows collection from 3 pm on the previous day. This can simplify your first morning if you arrive in time. Still allow for a careful boot fitting. Ask what happens if your arrival is delayed. Making an online reservation does not automatically mean someone will be waiting to hand over equipment outside shop opening hours.
What can reliably be said about prices
Strolz directs customers to online booking for available rental prices. On 24 October 2026, a reliable general euro range could not be established from a publicly available static tariff list. No estimated daily rate is therefore given here. Build a basket for your actual dates and compare matching contents: skis, boots, a helmet if needed, and storage. Also record the return location and conditions for changing models. A more expensive category does not replace appropriate advice. Explain whether you mainly want relaxed piste skiing, a sportier approach, or a return to skiing after a break. This helps identify a sensible choice without relying solely on the category name.
Families and travel without unnecessary journeys
For families, the location of children's lessons should shape the day's plans. A cheaper offer in the other village can mean additional journeys for collection, breaks and returns. Ask whether boots can be exchanged at your chosen branch during your stay. Rail access is via Langen am Arlberg with bus 750 or St. Anton with bus 760. Check connections for your arrival time. Drivers can use Lech's Anger garage; for winter 2026/27, the published charge from five hours is €31 per day. The resort directory says Schlosskopf day parking is free with a paid ski pass used that same day, otherwise €9. This is not a general promise of free parking throughout the village. If staying in Oberlech, arrange luggage transport separately with your host before deciding whether to collect skis as soon as you arrive.
