Looking to unwind and relax after a busy day on the slopes, Lech offers an array of sunny on the mountain terraces to spend an afternoon or cosy bars to while away the hours. The vibe here is more about refined après-ski rather than wild parties, offering a relaxed elegance that sets Lech apart.
Après ski in Lech is more champagne terraces than bar-top boogying, with quality over quantity being the general consensus.
This luxurious Schlegelkopf restaurant is an ideal location for a late lunch seamlessly transitioning into après-ski. Situated at the top of the Schlegelkopf chairlift, it offers an easy ski back down into Lech and is also accessible to non-skiers via the gondola. Be sure to secure a table on the sun-soaked terrace, where you can induldge in enjoy sushi, steak or fresh oysters before the music begins.
For a post-ski champagne, try the 4* hotel Tannbergerhof’s with an outdoor terrace and three different bars, conveniently located in the centre of town – the perfect apres-ski location. Many people head to the exclusive Hotel Krone for cocktails and oysters, but as a year-rounder, our Lech resort manager, Alen recommends Der Wolf, with it’s DJ sets and a varied menu, and Schneggarei with its straightforward concept of good pizza & drinks, good vibes and a great sun terrace.
The Ski Lounge within the Hotel Pfefferkorn is a stylish apres-ski venue. A family-run hotel that prides itself on its hospitality, the Ski Lounge includes a cosy atmosphere and the very best of bar culture. Serving sushi and an exquisite range of cocktails, it is the go-to spot to relax with friends after a day on the mountain.
As the evening approaches, you’ll find an abundance of cosy corners with crackling open fireplaces, perfect for enjoying a drink and relaxing as you while away the hours. Lech has some of the most diverse wine cellars in the Alps, as well as a vast array of culinary offerings to delight the senses.

Alternatively sample some exquisite Austrian vintages at Almhof Schneider Wunderkammer or Achtele wine bar, both of which also feature delightful, hearty menus and a wonderful atmosphere. Alen’s top recommendation for dinner is Hotel Goldener Berg, which he describes as ‘a cosy hotel with a fireplace, piano lounge and stunning views over Lech, complemented by excellent cuisine.’
