About Sportalp Lech
Sportalp is a locally owned sports shop and rental centre positioned directly at the Schlegelkopf valley station in Lech am Arlberg, giving skiers immediate access to the vast Ski Arlberg network the moment they clip into their bindings. The shop is run by a team of Arlberg locals who bring deep knowledge of the mountain conditions, snow quality, and terrain across the interconnected resorts of Lech, Zürs, St. Anton, and St. Christoph.
The rental selection covers alpine skis for every discipline — piste carving, powder, touring, race, and beginner setups — along with snowboards, boots, helmets, and poles. Sportalp also stocks a comprehensive range of avalanche safety equipment including transceivers, ABS airbag backpacks, shovels, and probes for backcountry enthusiasts. Online pre-booking earns a ten percent discount, and daily rental rates start from 24 euros. Their professional ski service handles tuning, waxing, and repairs using current workshop technology.
Beyond rental, Sportalp operates a retail floor carrying premium outdoor brands such as Norrøna, Haglöfs, Houdini, Mountain Force, and ADIDAS Terrex. Their boot-fitting service uses custom insoles and heat-moulding to achieve a precise fit, and the on-site ski depot provides secure overnight storage with boot-warming facilities. The shop's trailside location and no-nonsense local expertise make it a favourite with returning Arlberg guests.
