Its combination of reliable, deep snow, a beautifully preserved village, and access to the Arlberg – Austria’s largest connected ski area – draws discerning winter travellers from across Europe and beyond. For those who want to experience Lech at its finest, the question is not just where to stay, but how to stay: with all the freedom, privacy, and access that only a ski-in/ski-out luxury apartment can deliver.

- Is there ski storage at door level, with boot warmers?
