Lech reviews - World Snowboard Guide

Navigation

Good park, nice quite runs.

Thu 7 February 2008 dara

Although I stayed in St. Anton, I got the bus over to Lech quite a few days as the ski area is very nice, and very quite as most people staying there are busy posing in the town.

There is a good snow park, with jumps graded by level of difficulty, which great for people beginning jumps and not sure what to try. There are some big jumps there too for more advanced.

Also there are some nice areas to get kickers on the terrain on the runs near the park.

I didn't stay around the village long enough to rate that. I only used to supermarket to buy a can of beer for the bus back ;)
