St. Lawrence's Night

Stargazing at 2.350 m above sea level

On 12 August 2026, St. Lawrence's Night will once again invite visitors to enjoy a special natural spectacle above Lech Zürs. At an altitude of around 2,350 metres on the Rüfikopf, the clear mountain air and dark night offer ideal conditions for observing the peak of the Perseid meteor shower – an annual spectacle of shooting stars that leaves many small trails of light across the sky.

Details of the schedule and programme will be published here shortly.

Two celestial events in one day

This year, there will be another rare celestial phenomenon: in the early evening of 12 August, a partial solar eclipse will be visible above Lech Zürs – with approximately 90% coverage. Two natural events in one day, creating a special setting for a stay in the mountains.
