Accommodation
There are many options for accommodation when
skiing at Lech and Zurs. The hardest decision is probably choosing which village to stay in, and whether your priorities are for an exciting nightlife, peace and quiet, family-friendliness, non-skiing activities, or the convenience of ski-in ski-out.
Lech Accommodation ListingsClick on the following links for a range of Lech accommodations:
Lech HotelsLech is more of a town than a village, and has more to offer than the other areas in terms of shopping, restaurants and bars. It is popular with families, but it is still exclusive, cosmopolitan and charming. Princess Diana often stayed in Lech which sums up the culture of the town somewhat. There are 291 accommodation establishments varying from 5 star Lech hotels to 1 star hotels/pensions. Accommodation styles also include other private lodgings and a youth hostel. Some of the hotels are slope-side and offer the convenience of ski-in ski-out. The grandest hotel in Lech is probably the 5-star
Gasthof Post.
Zurs HotelsZurs was purpose built so possibly doesn’t have the same prettiness of charm of Lech, but is also rather exclusive. It’s small and intimate with only about 20 accommodation establishments. Whilst Lech is traditionally where you’d take your family, Zurs is typically more romantic and where you’d take your partner. The ski lifts originate right in the centre of the village so the skiing access is convenient, with all hotels being a maximum of a few minutes walk to a lift. Hotels vary from 3 to 5 stars, with the most luxurious being Thurnhers Alpenhof, Sporthotel Lorünser and the Zürserhof hotels.
Other Accommodation OptionsOberlech is not far from Lech but is a car-free lift accessed by the cable car or on skis. This quiet village has the fabulous convenience of being ski-in ski-out.
Zug is a tiny quaint village which is peaceful and perfect for families or others who don’t need a nightlife. None of the accommodation is ski-in ski-out, the exception being for expert skiers when there is plenty of snow. Gastof Rote Wand in Zug gets good reviews.
Stubenbach is an even smaller village about 1.5km away from Lech. It’s a sleepy village that is fairly secluded, with a reliance on buses and taxis to get to any action.
The other option when skiing at Lech and Zurs, is to stay in one of the
St Anton hotels (or neighbouring village such as Stuben or St Christoph) and commute via shuttle bus or taxi.
