Be sure to visit the on-site Café Gotthard, a favourite spot for warm apple strudel and freshly brewed coffee. You can also unwind on the sun terrace or in the hotel bar, where the house-brewed beer offers a true taste of the hotel’s unique character.

Please note that some hotels in the region may charge for tap water or only offer bottled water at an additional cost. For dinner, a smart casual dress code is required.

If you're looking for luxurious surroundings and exceptionally reliable snow, Lech is one of Austria's most prestigious ski destinations. The terrain is gentler than many other areas in the Arlberg, making it an excellent choice for those new to skiing off-piste. On the groomed slopes, you'll find a fantastic selection of wide, sun-filled runs that remain beautifully maintained throughout the day. Once you've explored the local pistes, fast lift connections open up the entire 305km Arlberg ski area for even more variety.

Lech is as well known for its elegant hotels, award-winning restaurants and sophisticated après-ski as it is for its outstanding skiing. The village combines luxury with traditional Alpine charm, where designer boutiques and stylish bars sit alongside historic wooden chalets and a picturesque church. Its long-standing reputation has attracted generations of high-profile visitors, including members of the Dutch royal family and Princess Diana, while retaining the welcoming atmosphere of an authentic mountain community.

For those looking to explore beyond the slopes, more than 40km of winter walking trails showcase the stunning Alpine scenery. Alternatively, enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the comfort of a traditional horse-drawn sleigh as it glides through the snow-covered landscape.
