Accommodation in Lech

Lech

Lech am Arlberg is one of those places that has a reputation that precedes it, and for good reason.

Nestled in the stunning Vorarlberg region of Austria, this resort is a blend of traditional alpine charm and sophisticated luxury. It’s a favourite among the discerning crowd, including royalty and celebrities, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's unapproachable. Lech strikes a perfect balance, offering a premium experience without losing that authentic Austrian village feel.

The skiing here is part of the massive Ski Arlberg area, which is Austria’s largest interconnected ski domain. We're talking 300+ kilometres of pistes, so there's an endless amount of terrain to explore. What's particularly great about Lech is the variety. For beginners and intermediates, the wide, gentle blue and red runs are perfect for cruising and building confidence. Meanwhile, advanced skiers and freeriders will find their thrills on challenging black runs and the extensive off-piste options. A real highlight is the famous “White Ring” ski circuit, a 22km loop that takes you through breathtaking scenery.

One thing you can almost always count on in Lech is the snow. Despite being at a relatively modest altitude of 1,444m, the resort benefits from a unique microclimate that blesses it with some of the best and most reliable snowfall in the Alps. Plus, with a top-notch snowmaking system covering over 60% of the slopes, great conditions are pretty much guaranteed all season long. The village itself is a picture-postcard scene, with its traditional chalets and a charming riverside setting. It's a place where you can feel that classic alpine spirit, all while enjoying some of the finest skiing and hospitality on the planet.

Choosing your Lech ski accommodation

So you've decided on Lech, great choice! Now, where to stay? The resort offers a fantastic range of accommodation, from cosy apartments to grand hotels, so picking the right one is all about what you're looking for in your holiday. Lech itself is the main hub, and it's where you'll find the widest selection of options, from budget-friendly guesthouses to some of the most luxurious hotels in the Alps. It’s also the place to be if you want to be close to the shops, restaurants, and the main après-ski scene.

If you're after something a bit quieter and more convenient, consider staying in one of the neighbouring villages. Oberlech, which is perched above the main village, is a fantastic choice, especially for families. It’s car-free in winter and offers incredible ski-in/ski-out access, so you can literally click into your skis right outside your door. It's a peaceful spot with its own collection of high-end chalets and hotels. Then there's the picturesque village of Zug, a short bus ride from Lech, which offers a more tranquil, traditional feel with great access to the ski area.

No matter where you stay, Lech accommodation is generally known for its high quality. The Austrian hospitality is second to none, and you can expect warm welcomes and excellent service everywhere you go. A lot of the properties are family-run, which really adds to that personal, home-away-from-home feel. Whether you want the full-service treatment of a hotel or the privacy of your own space, Lech has a little something for everyone.
