More Space. LECH ZÜRS Editorial Dear reader, From this issue onwards, our ZeitRaum Magazine will receive a fresh new look. From now on, the design, concept and editorial work will be in the hands of our partner friendship.is & Super BfG, a collective of creative people who have been closely associated with Lech Zürs for many years. Among other things, the new ZeitRaum is intended to reflect a combination between a sense of tradition and the spirit of innovation that has shaped and distinguished our region and the entire holiday destination of Vorarlberg for generations. The values and unique qualities of Lech Zürs will also be brought to the fore and new perspectives will be opened up. Be it through portraits, such as that of hotelier Herbert Jochum in this issue, who over nine decades of his life has accompanied the development of Zürs. Or be it through exciting reports like the one about climbing onto Roggalspitze. Or be it during a foray through the gourmet town of Zug, to name just a few. Exceptional people, an impressive natural environment, sports and leisure activities as well as culture and joie de vivre in all its facets - Lech Zürs has many faces. Our Magazine is just as diverse and full of charac- ter as the town itself, made to fulfil your desire for discovery, holidays and reading.
