A long descent variant, although not particularly steep, which in the past you could ski from Lech to Warth. Due to the merger of the two ski areas, this variant has become somewhat more popular, as you can get back to the starting point very quickly.

An easy variant that can also be skied well under more challenging conditions. The terrain is not very demanding. With skillful track choice, you can still find good powder even in stronger sunshine.

Backcountry Skiing
· Lechquellen Mountains
Zürs - Flexenmähder
recommended route
Difficulty
moderate
2.8 km
0:30 h
1 m
657 m
Very nice variant with a long traverse at the start. In the middle there is a steep narrow section that can be somewhat uncomfortable with long skis. After that, it goes into moderate terrain down to ski slope no. 10 and further to Zürs.
Backcountry Skiing
· Lechtal Alps
Zürs - Antenna
recommended route
Difficulty
difficult
4.9 km
1:15 h
161 m
717 m
The "Antenna," as the run is also called by locals, is a very good alternative when many standard routes are already tracked out and you don't mind a bit of hiking. This sporty variant should only be done if conditions allow, as the lower section is relatively steep terrain with unfavorable catchment areas.
Backcountry Skiing
· Lechquellen Mountains
Zürs - Wiesele Edge
recommended route
Difficulty
moderate
3.2 km
0:30 h
4 m
670 m
A relatively short but varied run in very safe terrain. Possible even in tense avalanche conditions and poor visibility.
Backcountry Skiing
· Lechquellen Mountains
Zürs - Erzberg Standard
recommended route
Difficulty
moderate
4.6 km
1:30 h
107 m
768 m
A very rewarding variant with a short ascent, possible either with skins or on foot. Unfortunately, the Flexenmulde bus stop no longer exists, so you have to walk about 10 minutes on the road at the end of the tour to reach the "Muggengrat Taeli -10" ski piste.

Wir sind die Tour schon mehrmals gefahren - immer wieder ein Genuss. Aber - im mittleren Teil sollte man wissen wo abgebogen wird und im Rinnenbereich kann’s auch mal gefährlich werden. Sachkunde setz ich hier voraus!
