The 10 most beautiful ski runs in the Lechtal Alps
![Entry to the variant](https://img3.oastatic.com/img2/22280929/320x320r/variant.jpg)

· The Verwall Alps
Stuben - Gaisleger
recommended route
Difficulty

A marvellous variant in very spacious terrain that is also suitable for weaker skiers. However, the steep, often heavily tracked descent towards Stuben is often unpleasant.

The Waldschneise is a very safe and easy alternative to the steeper Maienplatt and Maienwasen runs. The cornice at the start of the run can be a little tricky when there is a lot of snow, but it is very obvious and can be easily avoided.

Rendl - Outer Rendlalpe
recommended route
Difficulty
moderate
9.2 km
2:00 h
6 m
1,384 m
Scenically very impressive off-piste descent, where you are almost always rewarded with a few untracked turns. However, the long traverse in Hinterrendl and the unfavourable end point at the MPREIS in St. Jakob make the tour a little time-consuming.

Zürs - Antenna
recommended route
Difficulty

717 m
The "Antenna", as the run is also known among locals, is a very good alternative if many standard variants have already been tracked and you are not afraid to hike a little. This sporty variant should only be ridden if the conditions allow it, as the lower section is in relatively steep terrain with unfavourable catchment areas.
