Summer events in the Arlberg region

The Arlberg Classic Car Rally is already in its second decade. The high standard of a historic rally in the midst of a grandiose alpine landscape with a very special, individual atmosphere should also distinguish the 14th ARLBERG CLASSIC Car Rally.

In June, Lech will be transformed into an Eldorado for classic car enthusiasts and car lovers. The variety of makes and models of yesteryear and not least the route selection make the Arlberg Classic Car Rally something special. Also in the summer of 2022, the team around race director Armin Schwarz will ensure a varied route profile. We are looking forward to a colorful starting field and many spectators along the route.

As in previous years, we will ensure a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish at the 14th edition and remain true to our motto: "With friends through alpine dream settings".

Literaricum 2023: "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.

In her time, Jane Austen published her novels anonymously, with the author's note "by a lady." Today, she is one of the most famous and beloved English writers of our time. Her novel "Pride and Prejudice" has been translated into some 40 languages and sold around 30 million copies. The film adaptations of her novels, such as "Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightley, break all records or, like Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility," sometimes receive an Oscar in Hollywood.

2023 Literaricum takes Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" as the starting point for its reflections. For this book is far more than a story about romantic love. It is the story of a self-determined woman who learns to stand up for herself in a time when social conventions determine everything. With her biting social criticism, the author was far ahead of her time and created a "modern classic" in the best sense of the word with this novel.

Ticket sales start at the beginning of March 2023

At the Lech Musicians' Day, folk musicians and singers from the near and far surroundings meet again in Lech am Arlberg and transform the town into a festive cloud of sound. It is a festival of encounter, exchange and togetherness. It's time to make music and sing, and bring to life the richness and diversity of folk music, to the delight of all listeners in Lech Zürs am Arlberg.

In 2023, the Lech Classic Festival will once again offer an opulent program. The focus will be on the Finnish star soprano and Bayreuth heroine Camilla Nylund. The Austrian Kammersängerin and bearer of the "Lotte Lehmann Ring" is one of the outstanding interpreters of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

The program offers jazz in all its varieties, but contemporary music can also be heard at the jazz stage in Lech am Arlberg. "The decisive factors for us are the quality and authenticity of the music," says festival founder Philip Waldhart.

The White Ring is the legendary ski circuit in Lech Zürs am Arlberg. Every year in January, alpine racers venture onto the challenging course. But also in summer, athletes and sports-loving nature lovers dare to tackle the countless meters of altitude of the various stages on the famous loop. In August 2023, we will already start the fourth edition of The White Ring - The Trail Challenge and the sporting challenge will lead trail runners and mountain runners in the opposite running direction along the Lech mountain scenery.

Lech Zürs am Arlberg is one of the most renowned winter sports resorts in the world and is also considered a versatile excursion and vacation destination in summer. In a conversation between author Michael Köhlmeier and mayor Ludwig Muxel, the idea for the Philosophicum Lech was born, which has been held in the fall since 1997.

Fake news, conspiracy theories, media bubbles, virtual worlds, digital forgeries, all kinds of lies: our world seems to be permeated by the suspicion that a web of fictions, illusions and deceptions increasingly determines our thoughts and actions.
