The two founders of MEISTERSTRASSE HANDMADE, Nicola Rath and Christoph Rath, have had close ties to the Arlberg region since childhood. Inspired by the breathtaking natural surroundings, but above all by the commitment to the highest quality and uncompromising dedication to hospitality at the highest level, they return to Lech Zürs every year.

For 14 years, ‘MEISTERSTRASSE IN RESIDENCE’ has been bringing the art of master craftsmanship and exclusive manufacturers to Lech am Arlberg. During selected weeks of the 2026 winter season, guests will have the opportunity to experience the unique skills of traditional master craftsmen live.

This special event provides fascinating insights into the world of craftsmanship and offers the opportunity to get to know the master craftsmen behind the work personally. ‘MEISTERSTRASSE IN RESIDENCE’ thus becomes a unique shopping experience and a cultural highlight of the winter season in Lech Zürs am Arlberg.

Craft pop-up in LECH ZÜRS: The masters present their products and creations in the most exclusive houses in Lech Zürs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., as well as by appointment.
