Jumping over brooks. Observing marmots. Playing hide and seek behind rocks, laughing.
“The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but are to be lived,” claims Søren Kierkegaard.
Rightly so, we might add: discovering the world with your children is one of life’s greatest delights.

Trailrunning
The 9-hole golf course in Zug covers 19 hectares and is situated at 1,500 metres, making it the highest golf course in Austria. The holes lead through the Zug Valley directly along the Lech River, which even has to be played over several times.
For beginners or for those who want to improve their skills, there is also a practice facility: driving range, putting green and chipping area. There is also a golf school that offers courses for all handicaps.
You can also prove your golfing skills in one of the tournaments!
Whether at a quiet mountain lake or in the Zug Valley – fishing in the tranquillity of the Arlberg is an experience for young and old.
Standing and flowing waters amidst the beautiful mountain landscape of the Arlberg invite you to fish, try your luck!
Brook trout, rainbow trout and lake trout are at home in the Lake of Formarin and the Lake of Spuller. At the fishing pond in Zug you can hire suitable equipment, get tips from experienced fishermen and, if you like, enjoy the fish you have caught yourself, because your fish will also be prepared for you here.
The ten running trails in Lech Zürs cover a total of 54 kilometres. On them, professionals can work off their energy just as much as pleasure runners can relax.
The routes are varied, leading across soft meadows and fields, mossy forest paths and stony shore paths. The natural ground challenges the muscles and is easy on the joints, the fresh mountain air has an additional positive effect on your well-being during training and views of the surrounding mountains stimulate your mind.
Try the Weibermahd ascent or the Zug loop, for example.
