Surrounded by the stunning Arlberg mountain range in the Austrian Alps, Lech, often referred to as Lech-Zürs, is one of the most coveted ski destinations in Austria. A short drive from Innsbruck and Zurich, its cobble stone streets and wooden chalets give the area a traditional touch of Habsburg glamour, which is perhaps why it was a favourite of Diana, Princess of Wales. Skiing is king here, and Lech is both the starting and finishing point for Der Weisse Ring ("The White Ring"), a renowned circle of runs and lifts popular with both tourists and locals. But don’t worry non-skiers, you can always browse boutiques, enjoy scenic walking trails through the valley or take a horse-drawn sleigh ride from the village into the legendary Zug Valley.
A legendary crash pad of royalty, celebs and lovers of Arlberg, this is the chic chalet hotel and spa of consummate five star style. Interiors are dedicated to alpine heritage and modern luxe running through the hotel’s family history.
