Other Lech Accommodation Options

The other option is to stay in one of the nearby ski resort villages, particularly if you want a more peaceful and sedate snow holiday.

Zurs was purpose built so it possibly doesn’t have the same prettiness or charm of Lech. Exclusive like Lech, Zurs is 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 Zurs ski lifts originate right in the centre of the village so the skiing access is convenient, with all Zurs 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 & the Zürserhof hotels.

Zug is a tiny quaint village that is peaceful and perfect for families or others who don’t need nightlife. None of the accommodation is quite ski-in ski-out, the exception being for expert skiers when there is plenty of snow.

Stubenbach is an even smaller village about 1½km away from Lech. It’s a sleepy village that is fairly secluded, with a reliance on buses and taxis to get to any action.

Warth is only 7km north of Lech and whilst the road between Lech and Warth is closed in winter, the two villages are interlinked via a series of lifts. Warth is one of the snowiest places in Austria and has a range of lodging options, some ski in. From several seasons now, a modern 8-seat gondola connects the centre of Warth to the rest of the ski area, increasing the attraction of a number of its hotels and pensions.

Search & book all Warth ski accommodation.

St Anton is another option when skiing at Lech. A stay in one of the St Anton hotels (or neighbouring village such as Stuben or St Christoph) is a great ski experience. St Anton has a more lively centre & action after dark than Lech. Take the Ski Arlberg lifts for long day trips toward Lech, or you can also still take a bus there as well.
