    Oberlech in Lech am Arlberg has become a meeting place for all those interested in art and culture.

    A visit to the newly opened walk-in art installation “Skyspace” by James Turrell is an absolute highlight of a winter holiday. The magnificent play of colours in the dome takes visitors into a magical world. Space and time take on a new meaning in Skyspace. During the guided tours, visitors receive interesting information about the artist, the creation of the art installation and a breathtaking light show.

    Before or after the visit you can warm up in a restaurant in Oberlech with warm drinks.
