Lech
Login
Thanks every-one for replies, I am off to Finland but want another in Feb in Austria. I would happily go back to Seefeld but hubby wants some-where different, but this second one will have to be a bit cheaper than the first.
I am sure it would, but its fine to ski it or use the ski bus.
That would be well worth watching.
Tony - I suggest a ride on the bus. There and back.

Lech is a fantastic place to stay and ski in. We have been twice, once doing our own arrangements in early March and the week before Christmas last year when we got an incredible deal with Total for just under £500 all in as they had just taken over a chalet. They also have a hotel called the Sonneck which is a bit out on its own but has a bus stop outside so very easy to get to slopes. Buses all run with Austrian efficiency. You cannot ski direct to St. Anton but again it is made so easy by linking buses. There is a ski circuit called the White Ring which you can only ski one way from Lech via Zurs, Zug and back into Lech. It is fairly upmarket but very friendly and we found the mountain restaurants good value. Hope to go back this year deal is right.

While it is many years since I skied Lech, I have very fond memories of it. It was my first time skiing and Lech had lovely long gentle blue runs that really gave me a taste for skiing. Not sure about more advanced skiing and generally, I think it would be regarded as a relatively easy resort, though perhaps this is because it is somewhat overshadowed by its near neighbour, St Anton. The fact that Ise rated it his favourite weekend destination suggests it has something for everyone!.
I can't offer any help on accommodation but it might be worth checking out pension type accommodation as Ise suggests - the hotels all seem to be around the 4* mark and are expensive. If that doesn't work out, you could always follow Tony's advice and stay in St Anton and then ski in Lech for a few days over the course of your trip. I seem to recall that it is actually possible to ski over to Lech from St Anton but I am not sure of this or of how difficult the route might be! But in any event, there are regular buses between the two resorts.
St Anton is itself a wonderful resort -fantastic mountains and beautiful traditional Austrian village (though it too would be considered reasonably expensive by Austrian standards and it now quite large - be careful about the location of your accommodation!). The apres ski is amazing but not compulsory :lol:.
BTW, I thought you were off to Finland this year - planning a second trip??? If so, lucky girl :lol:.

Looking at the piste map, you might be right. I was under the impression from what I had read that you could ski between the resorts.
