It’s hard to believe we’re already in December, and as Winter settles in, my thoughts drift to snow-draped mountains and the allure of an Austrian wonderland. Inspired by a recent visit from one of my travel partners, I’ve found myself dreaming of an extended stay at the iconic Post Lech hotel, within the world-famous ski resort of Lech. This 5-star family-owned gem, a proud member of Relais & Châteaux for over four decades, embodies the perfect blend of luxury and tradition, inviting guests to experience the timeless charm of the Austrian Alps.
For skiing enthusiasts, Post Lech places you at the gateway to Austria’s largest interconnected ski area, boasting over 215 miles of pristine groomed slopes, and 125 miles of deep-snow runs. Em-bark on the legendary “Run of Fame,” a 52-mile circuit that spans from Lech to St. Anton and back. A single ski pass unlocks the entire Arlberg region, revered as the birthplace of alpine skiing. If skiing isn’t on your agenda, Winter here is equally magical.
Explore 25 miles of Winter hiking trails, go snowshoeing, glide across the ice, or simply soak in the tranquility of the snow-blanketed landscape.
nside, the hotel’s 46 elegantly-appointed rooms, apartments, and suites, each with unique Alpine décor and local antiques, offer a cozy haven after a day of adventure. Gather by the crackling fire in the Hubertushalle or rejuvenate in the spa, home to Lech’s first heated outdoor pool. Dining at Post Lech is an experience with panoramic views complementing award-winning cuisine and a wine selection numbering in the thousands.
Just under two hours from Innsbruck Airport, or a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Zurich International Airport, it’s an easy journey to this Winter escape.
Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or seeking a get-away for two, let the Post Lech be your Winter sanctuary.
