About Hotel Austria

Just a leisurely stroll from the town centre is Lech's charming Hotel Austria - perfectly positioned in tranquil surroundings and a four-minute walk to the Rüfikopf lift. Step inside to a world of cosy tradition and a sense of comfort that sets the stage for your stay.

The food here is a source of pride and you'll enjoy regional dishes and a menu that cleverly combines local ingredients and international influences. There's a lovely terrace that's just perfect for al fresco dining, and where every meal comes with a side of breath-taking views.

One of our favourite things here is the excellent wellness area. The indoor pool has views of the impressive mountains around. There's a sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and a fitness room, plus an adventure pool where kids can enjoy splashing around. For a laid-back afternoon head out into the garden; the natural swimming pool is surrounded by lush greenery and home to magnificent water lilies and gently swaying grasses. Cool off, unwind, or just laze on the loungers and take it all in.

Discover Lech

  • Treat yourself to gourmet food in award-winning restaurants
  • Walk a section of the Lechweg trail to the beautiful Formarinsee mountain lake
  • Take a refreshing dip in Lech's forest swimming pool

Lech, in the western reaches of Austria, is awash with see-and-be-seen skiers in winter. In summer, however, it’s a place transformed. The melting snows reveal jewel-green slopes and a village filled with gourmet restaurants and boutiques – plus summer cable cars and buses that open up several hundred kilometres’ worth of hiking and cycling paths. Summer holidays in Lech dive into this pretty picture of rugged mountains, turquoise lakes, meadows and forests, while also offering plenty for families with a penchant for adventure. You can get a flavour of Lech’s history in the Huber House Museum, as well as the 14th-century church of St. Nicholas, where a stern grey exterior hides away a delightfully OTT rococo interior.

Things to do in Lech

Take a bike and explore the region at your own pace. Whether you prefer a slow cycle down paved paths, or an adrenaline inducing decent on uneven tracks, mountain biking and e-biking in Lech offers something for everyone; there are interactive biking maps too so exploring is easy. Confident riders looking for an adrenaline rush will love the Burgwald Biketrail next to the Petersboden lift - it's an exhilarating downhill ride with wooden berms, jumps and drops. Lots of our hotels have free bike hire too.

Head over to the 19-hectare, nine-hole golf course in Lech Zürs and explore Austria highest range. Surrounded by natural scenery, various inclines and a variety of terrain makes this a one-of-a-kind, unique experience. If you're new to golf, then the driving range and golfing school is fantastic for learning a new sport; and what better place to do it than in the breath-taking mountains.  

Are you up for an adventure? Head to the wild Lech River for some white-water rafting. Starting with calm waters that develop into rolling rapids, the valley is the perfect match if you're seeking an adventure. Ideal for warm summer days, you're sure to cool down as you make you way down the clear blue river - hold on tight and brave the ride. 

Lech Forest Pool Slide

Nestled right in the middle of nature, you will discover the spacious forest pool between Lech and Zug. Relax on a nice summer's day with an ice cream from the kiosk, which also serves cold drinks and snacks - great for an energy boost after a game of beach volleyball. There's a sports pool with diving area, an aquafit pool, bubble loungers and splash showers - fun for the whole family, there is even a giant family slide.
