About Skiservice Walch Oberlech
Skiservice Walch operates two rental locations directly on the ski slopes in Oberlech, the car-free satellite village perched above Lech am Arlberg. Housed within the Burg Hotel and Burg Vital Resort, the shops offer a uniquely convenient experience — guests can walk out of their accommodation, collect freshly tuned equipment, and be on the piste within minutes. The slopeside position eliminates the need to haul gear through the village or ride the Schlegelkopf cable car with heavy bags.
The rental fleet includes skis, snowboards, snowshoes, helmets, toboggans, and even airbag backpacks for freeride safety. Equipment comes from respected manufacturers including Atomic, Salomon, K2, Scott, Head, and Blizzard, and the shop maintains everything with a professional Wintersteiger service machine that handles edge sharpening, base grinding, and infrared waxing for superior durability. Online reservations are available for hassle-free collection on arrival day.
What makes Skiservice Walch particularly appealing is the combination of premium location and personalised service. Their custom boot-fitting programme uses individually adjustable LENZ heated insoles, and they source rental skis from local Austrian manufacturers who understand Arlberg snow conditions. The attached sports shop sells goggles, gloves, sunglasses, and accessories, while the on-site ski depot provides secure overnight storage so guests never need to carry equipment back to their rooms.
