Enjoyment Instead of a Party: Après-Ski in Style
In this exclusive winter sports resort, there’s no thumping bass, and the “Ski-Ballermann” has no place here. After a day of skiing, people gather in rustic ski huts or elegant bars, where the night slowly descends on Lech to the sound of pleasant lounge music. Exuberant partygoers are more likely to head to nearby St. Anton, where the celebrations are more extensive—and sometimes a bit wilder. In Lech, après-ski is best enjoyed with a focus on indulgence: Your host, Ingo Strolz, will be happy to recommend cozy spots where you can wind down after a day on the slopes with fine drinks, light snacks, and exquisite wines. If you’re out for après-ski, your children will be happily looked after by the attentive babysitting service at the Hotel Auriga—by appointment and for a fee.
Après-ski at the cozy Schneggarei
Local wood and cutting-edge design characterize the quaint ski lodge that houses the rustic Schneggarei. This après-ski bar is a 9-minute walk (600 meters) from the Hotel Auriga. Table reservations are recommended for lunch and dinner. Specialties include crispy wood-fired pizza and evening drinks at the bar.
Rud-Alpe on the Schlegelkopf slope in Lech
This authentic Arlberg ski lodge, dating back to 1750, captivates visitors with its original charm. There are no kitschy decorations here. In the afternoon, skiers can take a relaxing break with a great view on the sun terrace; on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the alpine hut is open until midnight for après-ski guests. Reservations are requested.
Après-ski at the Hotel Krone Bar in Lech
In the Hotel Krone’s elegant yet casual bar, guests can relax and chat while gazing at the fire in the fireplace—at lunchtime, in the afternoon, and in the evening. In front of the hotel, winter vacationers will find the legendary ice bar, where wine and champagne flow in style amid atmospheric music. The Krone Bar is just a 12-minute walk from the Hotel Auriga.
Tannbergerhof Ice Cream Bar—A Surefire Way to Celebrate
Another ice bar with a lively atmosphere is located in front of the Hotel Tannbergerhof in the center of Lech, about a 10-minute walk from the Hotel Auriga. “See and be seen” is the motto during the blue hour between skiing and the après-ski party. Dancing in ski boots to cool hits is definitely encouraged here!
