Ski Holidays

Innsbruck 2 hrs 15 mins

Lech was one of the earliest Alpine ski villages, with the first appearance of Telemarking skiers on `Nordic Planks` here in the 1890s, 15 years before the Alpine variant of skiing, most commonly used today, was invented.
Although a cosmopolitan resort today, Lech has also managed to maintain its character, still being owned by the original families from the last century and before and still centred on the old square towered church with its onion dome. They have ensured that the water in the mountain streams remains pure enough to drink, although you don`t need to as mineral water comes out of the taps . Apart from the main village itself the Lech community takes in Zug, Stubenbach and ultra-exclusive Zurs, as well as the car-free satellite village at Oberlech (1660m), reached by cable car from the village and an excellent example of doorstep skiing: your accommodation can be reached through tunnels from the top cable car station rather than having to stagger fully loaded over the snow as is the case at some other traffic free centres.
