Spring in Lech Zürs is a season of gentle awakening and transition. While the lower valleys begin to bloom with delicate wildflowers and burgeoning greenery, the higher slopes often retain excellent snow conditions, allowing for 'firn' skiing – a unique experience on softened, spring snow. This period, typically from late March to May, offers the best of both worlds: sunny days perfect for skiing in the mornings and leisurely hikes in the afternoons. The meltwater streams rush, and the sound of cowbells returns to the pastures. It's a quieter time, perfect for those who appreciate the raw beauty of the mountains as they shake off winter's grip and embrace new life, combining late-season skiing with the first signs of summer activities.
