HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Pretty surroundings > Excellent skiing for intermediates > Access to the extensive Arlberg ski area


The resort of Lech is regarded as one of the most exclusive resorts in Austria. Despite the luxurious feel, Lech clings charmingly to its farming origins and remains a traditional alpine village. The resort is divided into two halves by a river that runs down the main high street where there are exclusive shops, restaurants and wine bars.

Located in beautiful alpine scenery, the skiing around Lech is superb, with over 260km of skiable terrain. The skiing takes place between 1450 and 2800 metres above sea level, and the resort is ideal for the intermediate skier while there are areas of off-piste that can be accessed by the more adventurous, a Fun Park for snowboarders, and 26 kms of cross country tracks.

The après ski is refined and revolves around champagne and canapés at the Ice Bar or the Champagne Bar at the Hotel Montana. Later on, the nightclubs Scotch Club Disco and Fux are normally heaving with party-goers.

The touch-free electronic Arlberg ski pass is also valid in the neighbouring resorts of Zürs, Stuben, St. Anton and St. Christoph.

Stay at the luxurious Hotel Kristiania, run by the family of former Olympic ski champion Othmar Schneider. The hotel has just 30 rooms, first class amenities and a renowned restaurant.
