Bike Hotel Arlberg
Bike Hotel Lech | The Bike-Gene
If you pass Oma Rosa's photo in the stairwell, one thing becomes clear: the love for the mountain is genetic. In summer, the boards and planks get traded for wheels. Vinzenz inherited the Radgen directly from the boss. While Andreas grazes the Arlberg on his e-bike about a hundred times over, Vinzenz seeks the direct path down and up via downhill and enduro lines. Biking at Hotel Lech isn't a programme item. It's summer being. A bike hotel at the Arlberg doesn't live from brochures, but from people who genuinely know the mountain.
That's precisely the difference: here you talk shop properly, drink chain oil, and discuss lines, lactate, and favourite climbs.
Schneefräsn | When Vinzi Reprogrammes Winter
April in Lech is typically reserved for spring corn snow and the last turns. Typically. But because Vinzi can't function without a bike even in winter, we simply rethought things and launched the MTB Trophy - Kenda Schneefräsn powered by LINES Magazine. Where skiers normally carve their radii at the Hinterwieslift, the Schneefräsn Cup ploughs through the slalom gates in April. Naturally, on bikes.
It's a slalom race of a special kind: two runs down the steep ski piste, full concentration required. But it's not the absolute fastest time that wins. It's precision. Whoever can repeat their own time most accurately wins. Maximum control, total focus, and mountain bike action on white terrain. Very Lech.

The Lab | The Workshop
The bike room is actually a workshop. Vinzenz can get pretty much anything running again that the mountain has demanded of it, from gears and brakes to morale. Lockable room, professional tools, map materials, and secret tips from Vinzenz himself make Hotel Lech a bike hotel in the Alps that doesn't just offer storage spaces, but genuine bike competence.
And after the final loop? Replenish electrolytes so the quads are ready for "one last little round". And when absolutely nothing works anymore, you talk shop over a glass of wine, beer, or Radler. That's what a bike holiday in Lech am Arlberg looks like.
Bike Adventures in Lech am Arlberg: Up and Down, Again and Again
Lech sits exactly where valleys meet and mountain passes tell stories: a junction between Vorarlberg, Tirol, the Lechtal, and the Bregenzerwald. Asphalt, gravel, root carpets, alpine forest roads, enduro lines, flow trails, and scenic vertical metres all lie side by side here.
The Arlberg in summer, the No-Snow season, is just as seductive as in the Snow season. A network of trails from asphalt to alpine heights. Lech, Zug, Oberlech, Bürstegg, Formarinsee, Spullersee, Kriegerhorn, Flexenpass, and the routes toward Warth or into the Zug Valley. The possibilities are endless.
The best part: all trails start directly from the doorstep of the bike hotel at the Arlberg. Very Lech. On two wheels.
Vinzi & Andreas' Territory | Bike Tours Around Lech am Arlberg
Biking in Lech am Arlberg — why not? Andreas, the senior boss, and Vinzenz, his son, are one with their two wheels. Here's a small, fine collection of their favourite tours around the Arlberg — curated by two riders who would happily take their bikes to bed.
Bike & Hike | An Alpine Liaison
Sometimes the bike simply has to stay down below - even if it hurts a little. That's what bike & hike is for: the liaison between clipless pedals, calf power, and Arlberg summit bliss. Around Lech am Arlberg, the liaison possibilities are limitless.
Asphalt Love | Collecting Mountain Passes
Lech sits not only in the heart of the mountains, but exactly between the passes that have been writing stories in road cycling circles for decades. Flexenpass, Arlbergpass, Hahntennjoch, Silvretta — all reachable, all combinable. Anyone who starts here rarely has just one option. More like the agony of choice between Vorarlberg, Tirol, Bregenzerwald, and Lechtal. Asphalt instead of gravel, rhythm instead of root carpets, but just as demanding.
Après Bike
When the bike is safely stowed in the workshop, the comfortable part begins. Replenish carbohydrates, put the legs up, and review the day. The breakfast buffet the next morning is law and ensures the quads are ready for new misdeeds. And if the muscles do strike: the sauna at Hotel Lech, the bike hotel in Vorarlberg, works true wonders.
That's how a day in a bike holiday in Lech am Arlberg ends: with lactate in the legs, stories in the head, and the quiet feeling that tomorrow could handle another loop. Very Lech.
