Skyspace Lech
A half-buried sky-viewing installation by American light artist James Turrell, on a slope above Oberlech, where an elliptical opening frames the changing sky.
Designed by James Turrell and opened in 2018, Skyspace Lech is set into a hillside near Oberlech. The entrance is a white tunnel leading into an elliptical room, where an opening in the dome frames the sky. Combined with lighting, the sky seems to shift in colour at sunrise and sunset, creating a painting-like view. It is free to visit year-round. In winter you can ski there (close to Tannberg), and in summer it’s about a 40-minute walk from Lech or Oberlech. Special lighting sessions run at certain times and require advance booking.
