Lech is more than just a ski resort, offering a vibrant calendar of events; from art exhibits to music events to wine-tasting, marking itself as a must-visit location in the Austrian Alps, whilst still retaining that charming alpine village feel.
One of the best times of the year to visit Lech is during the Christmas period, this charming village lights up with Christmas cheer. Visit the Christmas markets and take home a souvenir for your loved ones or enjoy a mulled wine and soak up the festive magic. The Alps at Christmas are the perfect place to celebrate the festive celebrations with that magical Christmas feeling only found in the mountains. Celebrate the New Year in Lech with a dazzling firework display or enjoy a classic concert featuring the Vienna String Soloists – both perfect occasions to ring in the New Year.
At the beginning of December, Lech holds the annual Arlberg Weinberg event, a unique Austrian experience with a variety of masterclasses on different topics around wine. From sustainability to skiing with winemakers and everything in between. This unique festival offers the opportunity to learn about wine and its creation with the very best in the business. This event offers a special mountain experience like no other and the chance to enjoy the best skiing alongside a distinctive Alpine wine celebration.
Towards the end of the season, Lech holds another exciting event, the Tanzcafe music festival! Held annually since 2013, this event showcases a variety of different acts with a mix of musical genres. Most performances are predominantly held in Lech but the event is held across the Arlberg region with bands also performing in St Anton and Oberlech. This is the perfect end-of-season soiree to celebrate your time in the mountains.
