Live the Life of Lech-ury

Often overshadowed by neighbouring resorts, Lech is a hidden gem in Austria worthy of a place on anyone’s ski resort wishlist. Andy Castle from Ultimate Luxury Chalets explains why

Lech is steeped in history and famous for its beautiful chocolate box chalets but now these chocolate boxes are turning into chocolate hampers with a number of ‘uber chalets' coming to the market and demand for luxury ski holidays in Lech rising rapidly.

The Flexenbahn lift station has created an easier way to reach Lech’s better known neighbour St Anton, meaning that those who wish to stay in Lech but want to let their hair down with après ski style at the Mooserwirt or KK’s can still get their fix.

Improved connectivity of the Arlberg ski resort portfolio has in turn increased the desire to both build and holiday in Lech. A wonderfully atmospheric village, the resort offers a combination of affluent luxury, charm, mixed-ability ski slopes and a fantastic snow record. The Strolz store, the “Harrods of the Alps”, also offers a custom boot fitting service, ensuring skiers look stylish on the slopes.

Below are a handful of the finest luxury chalets in Lech to rent for 2018/19:
