Relax on our sun terrace or lush summertime garden, flanked by the iconic Omeshorn mountain in the background.
Enjoy Nature in a Car-Free Location
Lech is encircled by an impressive natural landscape. In winter, the village is covered under a white blanket of snow, creating the feeling of an intimate vacation hideaway. In summer, lush green mountain meadows beckon for exploration from above from the top of the Lechtal Alps or along the sparkling mountain rivers, lakes, and waterfalls.
The special feature about the world-famous Lech ski resort in Vorarlberg is that Oberlech is completely car-free in winter from December to April. This deceleration makes Oberlech ideal for ski-in/out accessibility and contributes to a peaceful and relaxing natural environment.
