Lech am Arlberg is a distinguished ski resort tucked away in the beautiful Vorarlberg region of Austria. Known for its charming atmosphere, Lech offers a unique mix of luxury and tradition, making it a favourite spot for wealthy and discerning travellers. With a rich history dating back to the 1920s and 1930s, it transformed from a quiet mountain village into a bustling winter sports hub thanks to skiing.
Perched at an altitude of 1,444 meters, Lech is accessible via the Flexen Pass, though heavy snowfall can sometimes make travel tricky. While there’s no direct train connection to the resort, nearby stations at Langen am Arlberg and St. Anton make it easy to get there, with local buses filling in the gaps. Its remote setting only adds to its charm, offering a peaceful and stunning backdrop for visitors.
Lech is part of the extensive Arlberg ski area, boasting 300 kilometres of ski runs, making it one of the largest connected ski areas in Austria. With 88 modern lifts and cable cars, the resort caters to everyone from beginners enjoying gentle blue slopes to experienced skiers eager for the excitement of challenging runs like the Langer Zug, famous for its steep gradient.
You’ll find a variety of accommodation options here, from luxurious 5-star hotels to cosy family-run lodges for those on a budget. Oberlech, a neighbourhood within Lech, offers ski-in/ski-out convenience with a range of upscale chalets, while the charming village of Zug provides a quieter, picturesque setting with easy access to the slopes.
Lech is known for its fantastic snow conditions, breathtaking mountain views, and high-end après-ski scene. It strikes a perfect balance between luxury and traditional Austrian hospitality. The resort’s top-notch dining options and vibrant bars enhance the visit, while its commitment to blending development with the stunning natural landscape maintains its enchanting alpine vibe.
