Hi,

Thank you for all your advice on the subject :thumbup:
We have returned from Zug & Lech on Sunday.
We had fantastic ski holiday.
Some info about resort for those considering:

Zug is a lovely, tiny hamlet linked to Lech ski area by an old slow double chair. No waiting for the lift though.
Itinery Run No 48 from Zugerberg back to Zug is in fact easy, similar in dufficulty to local Blue pistes, and quite scenic. For a long part it runs along river in a narrow gorge. There are 3 poling sections however with the longest one right at the end to Zug hamlet centre.
Zug boast 7 restaurants, all cosy and reasonably priced except for Rote Wand which is expensive. Itinery route 33 on the other side of the valley that forms an integral part of the White Ring circus is a bit more difficult, but regularly prepared.
Balmalp moutain restaurant is arguably the best in the whole area. Good value and very tasty pizza can be had in the Schneggerei bar/restaurant at the end of home run 34 in Lech. Runs from Lech ,from the top of Rufikopf cable car, towards Zurs are the least crowded.
Best skiing area for a cloudy day ( we had 2 ) is Sonnenkopf, long and easy tree line skiing served by a gondola,included on Arlberg ski pass but a long trip on 3 buses to get to.
Next season Warth-Schrocken ski area will be linked to Lech-Zurs area by a fast gondola offering additional 70 km of pistes!

We will certainly try to go back there soonish:)
