The Lechweg is a prominent long-distance hiking trail in Austria, running approximately 95 kilometers from St. Anton am Arlberg to Füssen in Germany. While often associated with the Lech Valley and the Lech am Arlberg region, the trail does not strictly follow a "120-kilometer" route within Lech itself, nor is there a single official trail by that exact name in Lech. The Lechweg is the most famous path in the area, offering hikers a journey through diverse landscapes including alpine meadows, forests, and along the river Lech.

Lech am Arlberg, situated at 1,444 meters, serves as a key starting point or access hub for many hikes in the surrounding Lechtal Alps. The region is known for its exclusive status and membership in the "Best of the Alps" group. Hikers can explore over 50 alpine pastures and huts, enjoying traditional cuisine and scenic views. The area features suspension bridges, waterfalls, and access via six summer mountain railroads, facilitating varied hiking experiences from easy walks to demanding ascents.

For those interested in the Lechweg, the trail passes through neighboring villages such as Zürs and Oberlech. The path offers a mix of cultural and natural highlights, reflecting the history of the Tannberg district. Visitors are advised to check current trail conditions and accommodation options, as the route is popular during the summer months. The combination of high-altitude scenery and well-maintained infrastructure makes the Lech region a significant destination for long-distance hikers in the Austrian Alps.
