A bell tower emerging from the snow covered rooftops, sleighs gliding along to the sound of bells and horse hooves: in winter Lech has this romantic feel. Situated in the centre of Lech is Hotel Gasthof Post, absolutely charming, 5 star comfort in a pure Austrian family tradition, this hotel is one of our favourite Austrian addresses to (re) discover imperatively this winter.
Lech: a paradise for skiers
While a chic and charming resort, Lech has chosen to play on comfort and a kind of cosy art de vivre, where luxury brands are discreet. With kilometres of ski slopes, immaculate white as far as the eye can see the Arlberg ski area is a paradise for skiers. Long ski runs, 180 km of deep snow and secluded ski runs, 276 km of perfectly groomed slopes and 86 ski lifts. The winter world around Gasthof 'Post' also provides all sorts of alternative activities away from the slopes; mountain hiking to the snowy peaks, bob sled run or a horse drawn sleigh ride, the highlight of any winter holiday.
