Lech Things To Do

Things To Do
A ski holiday in Lech offers the opportunity to take part in a number of winter sports activities. The picturesque Alpine town houses a number of ice-skating rinks, a toboggan run is a big hit with kids, and expert guides are on hand to introduce experienced skiers to some challenging off-piste skiing. Hiking, sleigh rides, snowshoeing, swimming and trekking are also popular activities in Lech.

Relaxation
During a ski holiday in Lech, guests can take advantage of superb spa facilities offered by many of the town’s upmarket hotels – the perfect way to unwind after a day on the slopes.

Shopping
Shopaholics will not feel hard-done-by during a ski holiday in Lech. A wealth of shops lines the resort’s main thoroughfare – the Hauptstrasse – offering an opportunity to buy everything from first class sportswear and ski equipment to traditional Austrian handicrafts, clothing and souvenirs.

Dining
With a high-class, largely wealthy clientele, it’s no surprise that dining in Lech is a treat for fans of gourmet cuisine. In fact, the resort boasts more Gourmio hat awards than any other village in Austria. Most hotel restaurants are open to non-guests, and the abundance of four and five-star accommodation means that diners can appreciate some fine cuisine whether dining table d’hôte or à la carte. For the more budget-conscious, pizza and pasta, as well as Mexican food, are more budget-friendly  options that go down well with children and teens. The opportunity to try some of the local fondue should not be missed.

Off-piste
Off-piste activities in Lech are refined in comparison with many Austrian resorts, but are always an enjoyable affair. Après-ski is lively from late afternoon until early in the evening, while the bar scene tends to be quiet during the prime dining time of 7-9pm. With nine bars and a selection of nightclubs, those seeking an evening’s entertainment during a Lech ski holiday will not be disappointed. Cocktails, tea dances, live music and discos are firm favourites with holiday makers in Lech.
