Flexen Pass

Flexen Pass is a scenic alpine road that winds through the Arlberg region at an elevation of 1,773 meters, linking the villages of Zürs and Lech. The pass is renowned for its breathtaking vistas of rugged peaks, deep valleys, and the iconic Flexenstraße, which is carved into steep cliffs. In winter, the pass is a gateway to the Ski Arlberg area, with ski lifts and trails branching off near the summit. Drivers and cyclists are treated to panoramic views of the Lechquellen Mountains and the distant Rätikon range. The pass is also a popular starting point for summer hikes, such as the trail to the Spullersee reservoir, a turquoise alpine lake. The road itself is an engineering marvel, with tunnels and galleries protecting it from avalanches. Whether driving, cycling, or hiking, Flexen Pass offers a memorable alpine experience with photo opportunities at every turn.
