Lech is a picturesque, smart and sophisticated village with a wealth of excellent hotels. Traditional, chalet-style ‘Häuser’ and exclusive boutique hotels are nestled amongst pretty churches and working farmhouses. It is quieter than its neighbour, St Anton, and extremely well suited to couples and families.

Skiing in Lech is great for beginners and intermediates with plenty of cruisy blues and reds. The more challenging runs are found around Zürs, the neighbouring village, whilst the easiest runs are at Oberlech, above the main village. Skiing in St Anton is included in the ski pass, as is the bus to St Anton.

Holidays to Lech are 7 days only. The hotels do not take short break or weekend bookings.
