Part of the extensive Arlberg ski domain, the fashionable resort of Lech sits just down the valley from the more widely famous St Anton. While groups of party animals may choose its neighbour, Lech draws visitors – including rich and famous clientele – with its beautiful historic buildings, peaceful ambiance, some outstanding restaurants and varied slopes for all skill levels.
Lech is more about smart hotel bars than dancing on tables in ski boots. With this in mind, here are some fantastic places to head for a glass of wine or three. Down in the resort centre, there are a few establishments that open out onto the river, including the Tannbergerhof with its daily open-air party and, purportedly, “the best Glühwein in the world”. Another classy choice is Pfeffermühle, which offers a cosy atmosphere and a great wine selection, while the FUX Restaurant and Bar serves brilliant whiskeys and cigars in a jazz-bar ambiance. For something a bit livelier, the Archiv Bar is the place to party and enjoy excellent cocktails until 2am.
From traditional culinary delights to exotic steaks, Lech presents some excellent restaurants for visitors to enjoy. On the slopes just above Lech, the Rud Alpe serves excellent lunches in a beautiful rustic setting. At the top of the Rufikopfbahn, the Panorama Restaurant plates up excellent burgers and, as the name would suggest, offers breathtaking panoramic views from an altitude of 2,350.

For families with kids, Lech offers some excellent childcare options and fun pastimes to keep them entertained. As well as excellent ski instruction, Fun and Snow have wonderful babysitting and childcare services, which include exciting activities for the older kids. Meanwhile, the Kinderclub in Lech takes children between 3 and 5-years-old and introduces them to the joys of skiing in a fun and safe environment. The Lech Skischule is another brilliant choice for kids taking their first turns on the slopes. Otherwise, tobogganing, ice skating and an indoor Sports Park mean there’s plenty to amuse the young ones on and off the slopes.
