Last season I didn't have problems skiing in Lech with a pass issued in St Anton. Can't help you with car or parking info. I can't remember a bad mountain restaurant in the Arlberg area. Watch yourself down hill of the Krazy Kangaruh during the late afternoon!
On piste, all the red and blue runs should be fine for most intermediates. Try to avoid Happy Valley in the late afternoon. Don't forget the Rendl area. Have a great time!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

luigi, Hi there. We've only stayed in Lech and from memory our Arlberg pass gave us 1 day in St Anton (but maybe I am remembering wrong and we just went there for 1 day). Your best bet is to visit http://www.lech-zuers.at/xxl/_lang/en/_season/at2/_area/585623/index.html and/or speak to the tourist office, they are very helpful.
I don't know St Anton but Lech has some beautiful, interrmediate pistes and as achilles, says, I've never encountered a bad mountain restaurant there. The KK or Mossewirt in St Anton are pretty full on apre ski places. Lech tends to be a bit more 'genteel' but neverthleless a fantastic place. I realise you have only a few days, but try the White Ring (info on website).
Enjoy!

luigi, The Arlberg pass definitely covers Stuben, St Anton, Lech, Zurs, St Christoph and Sonnenkopf. They do restrict lift passes to Lech BUT only if max number of visitors exceeded (40 odd thousand folk I think) I would think it highly unlikely and would only really apply if Lech was the only place with snow in the region. Think the restriction only applies to day visitors so if you've bought a 3 day pass then absolutely nothing to worry about.
Parking available in Rauz and Stuben - can't comment as we've always used buses/taxis etc. Might be worth your while ditching the car one day so you can experience the Mooserwirt and general apres madness. Sonnenkopf is apparently fantastic, although some of the regulars will shoot me down for letting the cat out the bag - also if you're staying at Dalaas, Sonnenkopf will be the closest skiing to you.
Skiing around Lech is really nice - cruisy blues, heated seat on chair lifts etc. Not much in the way of mountain restaurants around Lech but plenty in Oberlech - Hotel Burg is a good spot with dead reasonable self service. Stuben is a cracking spot for lunch and skiing too - especially if you're into off piste. We usually visit the Gasthof Stuben twice during the week. I'm actually off to Stuben with family on 28th Feb. Rudalpe down from Oberlech and overlooking Lech is a nice spot too - good food. Although the Knoblauchsuppe will fend off all humans for at least 2 days!
Would agree that Rendl is a good choice - usually very quiet with good food at the top of gondola and a nicer one further down on the run back to St Anton.
My favourite runs are the 7km run to Stuben from Schindlerpitze - red 14 and one at the back of Lech number 35 Mohenmander (excuse the spellings) Both have a great gradient for getting some speed up.
Would definitely make the effort to spend some time at the Mooserwirt/Krazy Kanguruh and if you've got time head down to Picadilly (below Post Hotel) on main st to see Gunar play live.
Enjoy your stay
