Nestled deep in the stunning Arlberg region of the Austrian Alps, Lech is a haven of luxury, elegance, and alpine charm. This world-famous mountain resort has long been a preferred destination for the elite, offering a perfect blend of exclusive luxury chalet rentals, breathtaking landscapes, and top-notch outdoor activities.
Lech’s reputation as a premier ski destination is undisputed. The Lech-Zürs resort is part of the Arlberg ski area, the largest in Austria and the fifth-largest worldwide. Linked with the neighbouring resorts of Stuben, St Anton, St Christoph, and several smaller resorts, the region boasts more than 300 kilometres of groomed pistes, 200 kilometres of high-alpine off-piste, and over 93 modern lifts.
But the vast ski terrain is just a part of the story. The resort has been the winter escape of choice for the world’s glitterati since the 1920s. Lech has grown from a remote alpine farming town into a chic getaway with some of the most opulent ski-in, ski-out chalets in the Alps. They flaunt bubbling hot tubs on piste-side balconies, private spas with heated indoor pools, crackling log fires in art-filled lounges, and cosy cinema rooms.
The resort’s luxury ski chalets are spread between Lech itself and the charming, traffic-free village of Oberlech. Oberlech is set high above the valley floor and is renowned for its unparalleled tranquillity and exclusivity. Woven together by a network of cable cars and groomed ski trails, its centre is brimming with gourmet restaurants and boutique outdoor shops.
Meanwhile, in summer, Lech transforms into a lush hiking paradise. The famed Lechweg Trail is a highlight. This long-distance path follows the course of the Lech River through dramatic alpine landscapes, verdant wildflower meadows and charming villages.
Lech is a ski resort where alpine tradition meets contemporary luxury. It appeals to the discerning traveller searching for the very best chalet holiday. Whether carving down world-class ski slopes, strolling through enchanting Oberlech, or hiking the stunning Lechweg Trail before returning to your luxury chalet, you’ll be enamoured by beautiful Lech.
