At an altitude of 1,450 metres, at the heart of unspoilt mountain scenery, lies the village of Lech am Arlberg. Lech is not just a member of “Best of Alps” and known as Europe’s most picturesque village, but it has also made a name for itself as the epitome of winter sports, always retaining its village character despite a strong international presence. This is where tradition meets cosmopolitanism, and where outdoor fun meets cultural spirit. Incidentally, it is also where your home away from home awaits at the 4-star Cresta.Alpin.Sport.Hotel right next to the slopes in Oberlech.
As its name (literally: “Upper Lech”) suggests, Oberlech is located above the village of Lech am Arlberg at an altitude of 1,700 metres above sea level. The only way of getting to Oberlech is by cable car. Oberlech is therefore car-free and wonderfully quiet, perfect for leaving the daily grind behind and focusing on the here and now. Add its unique, sunny location and unique fun on the slopes to the mix, and you’ve got the perfect blend for a one-of-a-kind winter break, best enjoyed in the Cresta.Alpin.Sport.Hotel right next to the slopes!
When the first Walser people migrated to the Arlberg region during the 13th and 14th centuries, they couldn’t have known that these beautiful, yet sparse mountains would one day become one of the world’s top ski regions. However, the invention of skiing and the fact that Lech was one of the first tourist destinations for aspiring skiers led to the truly extraordinary transformation of the village over the years. From 1885, tourism began to flourish, and Lech subsequently became one of Austria’s top ski resorts. The Gothic parish church of St. Nikolaus still bears witness to these early days.
