In summary: Request both journeys with BLACKLUX using the flight numbers and full accommodation addresses for each leg. The team can then confirm the vehicle, price and pickup arrangements for travel between Zurich Airport (ZRH) in Switzerland and Zürs am Arlberg in Austria.
This guide is for couples, families and small groups travelling with winter luggage. It covers the airport journey, the return flight and ideas for a stay that includes more than time on the slopes.
Plan the journey around your hotel in Zürs
Send your hotel's complete name and address, including entrance instructions supplied by the property. Zürs and neighbouring Lech are different destinations, so check that your request identifies the correct village.
Ask for a driving estimate for your date and accommodation. Airport formalities and baggage collection happen before the road journey, while traffic and mountain conditions can affect the drive.
If reception closes at a particular time or a host needs to meet you, mention that when booking. Arrange any comfort stop in advance and keep arrival day free of tightly timed activities.
Winter access: the Flexen Pass road
Lech Zürs Tourism identifies the Flexen Pass road as the main winter access route. The road between Warth and Lech is generally closed in winter, so a route displayed for another season should not be assumed suitable.
Check the official road report close to departure. Snow or temporary restrictions can change the practical approach and expected arrival time.
Agree the journey with BLACKLUX using current access information. A winter transfer needs enough flexibility for the final mountain section, particularly when you have a fixed check-in or onward appointment.
Meeting your chauffeur at Zurich Airport (ZRH)
BLACKLUX's Zurich airport page explains that passengers meet their chauffeur at Arrival 1 or Arrival 2, depending on the flight. Provide the flight number and follow the meeting instructions in your confirmation.
The published service includes flight monitoring and 60 minutes of airport waiting, with 15 minutes at other addresses. Contact the team about extended delays or changes to your flight.
BLACKLUX also publishes a Meet & Greet service with your name or company logo displayed and assistance with luggage. Keep a passenger phone available after landing so you can coordinate if necessary.
Choose space for skis and suitcases
List checked bags, cabin bags, skis, snowboards and other bulky equipment separately. A vehicle with enough passenger seats may still need a different luggage arrangement for long ski bags.
Include pushchairs and request child seats using the children's ages. Explain mobility needs and any assistance required between the unloading point and hotel entrance.
Confirm the vehicle and complete load before booking. If you plan to rent equipment locally, organise collection around your first full day rather than relying on a flight arriving exactly on schedule.
Zürs to Zurich Airport (ZRH): confirm the return early
Set pickup around your airline's recommended airport arrival time. Add the expected drive from your actual hotel and a suitable allowance for traffic and winter conditions.
Confirm the return address separately if you move accommodation during the holiday. Give BLACKLUX the departure flight number and update the booking if it changes.
Return rented equipment, complete checkout and collect stored luggage before pickup. Avoid a ski session immediately beforehand: getting back to the hotel, changing and packing all take time.
Skiing and Zürs's Alpine history
Lech Zürs Tourism traces the village's skiing history to an early course led by Viktor Sohm in 1906 and a pioneering Austrian drag lift in 1937. Those details give context to a resort closely associated with Alpine skiing.
When choosing accommodation, ask how its location relates to lifts, ski-school meeting points and equipment rental. Confirm the practical access for your dates and the abilities of your group.
Check current lift and piste information before setting out. Organise lessons separately and allow time for fitting rented boots and skis on the first morning.
The RUN of FAME
Ski Arlberg's RUN of FAME is an 85-kilometre ski circuit connecting areas including Zürs, Lech, St. Anton and Warth. The operator classifies it for advanced skiers.
Choose a section suited to your ability and available time rather than assuming the full circuit belongs in every holiday itinerary. Check the route map and opening status before starting.
Connecting lifts have closing times, and Ski Arlberg warns that returning on skis is no longer possible after those connections close. Plan the way back before committing to a longer circuit.
Winter walks beyond the slopes
The official tourism portal lists groomed winter walks in the Lech Zürs area, including routes near Lech, Zug and Oberlech. These offer options for non-skiers or a quieter afternoon.
Select a route using current trail status, weather and your group's fitness. A summer walking description does not establish that the same outing is suitable in winter.
If the walk starts outside Zürs, plan how to reach the trailhead and return. Request additional transport separately from the airport journeys.
Skyspace Lech: an outing for art and architecture
Skyspace Lech, designed by James Turrell, opened in 2018 in Oberlech. Its largely underground room and opening towards the sky explore the relationship between light, space and perception.
Treat this as an outing from Zürs, rather than an attraction within the village. Check current visiting times, guided options and access before planning the journey.
Allow time for the approach on foot and the return. Confirm route conditions locally, especially if the visit extends into the evening.
Regional food to try
Käsknöpfle
Käsknöpfle combines small pasta-like dumplings with cheese and fried onions. The regional tourism recipe notes that cheese mixtures vary, giving restaurants room for their own preparation.
Look for it on menus featuring Vorarlberg cooking. Ask about ingredients and dietary requirements when ordering rather than relying only on the dish name.
Riebel
Vorarlberg Tourism describes Riebel as a traditional cornmeal-based dish, cooked and broken into small pieces during frying. It can be served with applesauce or prepared in other sweet or savoury forms.
Ask whether your hotel or restaurant offers it during your stay. Regional dishes are a starting point for exploring menus, not a promise that every venue serves them.
Kaiserschmarrn and mountain dining
Vorarlberg's tourism portal highlights Kaiserschmarrn alongside Käsknöpfle in its mountain-hut dining suggestions. A meal can be part of an outing when you have checked the venue's opening and access.
For a restaurant reached by lift or ski route, plan the return around operating times. Reserve special dinners separately and confirm whether any local transport is needed.
