Hidden between imposing peaks and gentle alpine pastures lies Elbigenalp. It is the heart of the Lechtal and a place that instantly slows you down. Here you will find a different rhythm: slower, more genuine, close to nature. Between the Lech river, historic craft workshops and unspoilt mountain landscape, you will find a piece of Tyrol that has retained its authenticity.
Whether you hike along narrow paths through the Lechquellengebirge mountains, bathe in the turquoise-blue wild river on hot summer days or trudge through snow-covered forests in winter; Elbigenalp in the Lech Valley is moving. And leaves room for what is often neglected in everyday life: peace, space and authentic experiences.
Tips
Activities and excursion destinations in Lechtal
Your perfect holiday in Elbigenalp awaits you at any time of year! Whether in the winter snow or in the summer sunshine, there is always something to experience and discover here that will make your holiday dreams come true.
Winter holidays in Elbigenalp
When the Lechtal turns into a silent, white winter wonderland, Elbigenalp becomes the ideal starting point for unforgettable experiences. Here you won’t find any hustle and bustle, but space for real deceleration, snow-covered nature and surprisingly varied winter activities.
The winter programme in the Lechtal is both diverse and relaxed. You can conquer sporty heights while skiing in the nearby Bach/Jöchelspitze ski region or make your tracks on the numerous cross-country ski trails in the Tiroler Lech Nature Park. Winter and snowshoe hikers also get their money’s worth: over gentle alpine pastures, through fairytale forests and to tranquil vantage points that will leave you speechless.
If you’re looking for a bit of variety, the nearby Tannheimer Valley offers additional cross-country trails and small, charming ski areas. The ideal spot for relaxed winter days away from the crowds.
The Stanzach family ski area with its ski schools and practice lifts also offers ideal conditions for families to make their first turns in the snow. And if you prefer a more leisurely pace: a speedy ride on the natural toboggan run in Elbigenalp or a detour to the Nature Ice Palace in Hinterstein provide winter fun away from the piste.
A real insider tip: A visit to the Geierwally open-air theatre in winter is a piece of Lechtal culture in the middle of the snow, especially when events or guided tours are taking place.

Summer holidays in Lechtal
When the Lechtal valley glows in lush green and the Lech river rushes crystal clear through the valley, the time for real nature experiences begins in Elbigenalp. Summer shows its original, unspoilt side here and invites you to be right in the middle of it instead of just being there.
Hiking fans can look forward to the Lechweg, one of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails in Europe: 125 kilometres of pure nature, directly along the wild river. For shorter tours, panoramic trails around Elbigenalp, quiet alpine pastures and rustic huts with homemade specialities beckon. If you prefer something more sporty, hop on a mountain bike or explore the surroundings on an e-mountain bike.
Alongside the many hiking and cycling routes in the Lechtal, it’s also worth taking a trip to the neighbouring Tannheimer Valley. The region is known for its idyllic lakes and panoramic trails.
Need to cool off? The natural outdoor pool in Elbigenalp promises swimming fun with mountain views and is ideal for families and those seeking peace and quiet. And for little adventurers, the summer toboggan run in Wally’s leisure park provides plenty of speed and fun.
Those interested in culture should not miss out on a highlight: a visit to the Geierwally open-air theatre, right in the home town of the legendary Geierwally (July-August), where impressive open-air performances are offered.
