Arriving at Aurelio Lech is like stepping into a perfectly composed winter postcard—only better because it’s real, and you don’t have to squint at the snow through glossy paper. The hotel’s alpine architecture is an ode to tradition, with its wooden balconies, steep rooflines and large windows that frame the kind of mountain views you’ll struggle to leave behind. Despite the classic exterior, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the warm glow of the building as it stands against a snowy backdrop, beckoning you to come closer. It’s as though the mountains themselves have whispered, “This is the spot.” And they were right.

Lingering around Aurelio Lech

Step through the doors, and the sense of arrival is only heightened. Aurelio Lech’s interiors marry modern design with alpine coziness, a combination that feels as if your chic city apartment had a winter fling with a snug mountain lodge. The Licca Lounge, with its plush armchairs gathered around an open fireplace, is a whole mood. This is where you’ll sip on a hot chocolate that might ruin all other hot chocolates for you. (Or perhaps you’ll enjoy something a little stronger—who’s judging?) The sun terrace, meanwhile, is the unofficial champion of après-ski spots. With panoramic mountain views and the kind of peace that only the Alps can offer, it’s the ideal place to let the world slow down, one warm drink at a time.

And if you’re in the Club & Chalet (more on that later), there’s the private living room and library, a quiet escape within the space where the only challenge is deciding whether to read or simply admire the collection. It’s the kind of place where you’ll half hope for a snowstorm so you can justify staying put. Every corner of Aurelio feels thoughtfully curated, designed to make you wonder how you’ve managed to survive ski trips without such elegant spaces before.

Alpine elegance at its peak

The rooms and suites at Aurelio Lech, of which there are only 10, redefine what it means to stay in the mountains. Forget cookie-cutter accommodations—each space here feels like a personal retreat. The rooms are all individually designed, combining modern aesthetics with alpine touches that whisper of understated luxury. It’s the kind of place where you walk in and immediately wonder how many pillows are too many pillows (spoiler: there’s no such thing).

The Top Deluxe Double Room is a favorite for couples, offering 590 square feet of comfort, complete with a balcony overlooking the mountains. The TV is there if you need it, though let’s be honest—your entertainment is more likely to come from staring at the snow-covered peaks. For those seeking something even more spacious, the Aurelio Suite delivers. At 1,100 square feet, it features a separate living area, a sprawling bathroom with a tub that practically begs for bubbles, and a balcony that might just become your favorite spot for morning coffee.

The entire hotel is available for a buyout, and with amenities like this, why not have a private residence with a ton of perks for that family or friends vacation.

The Chalet: Exclusive luxury with a side of “wow”

If the hotel itself isn’t enough to dazzle, the Aurelio Club & Chalet steps in to ensure you’re completely awestruck. This 16,000-square-feet marvel is a sanctuary for those who want luxury on their terms. Once voted “Luxury Chalet of the Year," it’s easy to see why. The private wellness area alone feels like a five-star spa, with every amenity you could dream of, from saunas to a plunge pool. The living spaces, including a grand room with an open fireplace, are designed for gatherings that somehow feel both intimate and opulent.

The chalet’s two suites and six double rooms accommodate up to 16 guests, making it ideal for family getaways or a friend group determined to outdo their last ski trip. And let’s not forget the private butler service. When someone else is fetching your mulled wine, it’s hard to imagine how life could get better.

Mountain cuisine…elevated

It’s impossible to talk about Aurelio Lech without raving about the dining. Executive Chef Roland Auer helms the kitchen with a skill that has earned Aurelio’s restaurant high praise, including 17 Gault Millau points and 95 points from Falstaff. These accolades aren’t handed out for “decent” food—this is the real deal.

The main restaurant offers a menu that dances between traditional alpine flavors and international inspirations, showcasing the best seasonal ingredients. Every dish is a masterpiece, but it’s not so pretentious that you’ll feel out of place asking for seconds. The Licca Lounge complements the dining experience by serving up lighter bites and desserts that feel like a warm hug in food form. And, of course, you can always enjoy your cocktails and meals out on the Sun Terrace. Between all these spaces, your taste buds are in for the kind of holiday they’ll be talking about for years.

The spa where relaxation becomes an art form

If skiing leaves you exhilarated but a bit achy, the Aurelio Spa is waiting to whisk those cares away. This wellness haven offers more than just a place to unwind—it’s a celebration of self-care. The thermal suite features saunas, aromatherapy steam rooms, a snow atrium and experience showers, each designed to melt away tension. The cold plunge pool might sound intimidating, but after a long sauna session, it’s exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

The 75-foot indoor pool is perfect for both leisurely dips and post-ski laps, while the Jacuzzis and relaxation areas invite you to sit back and let the world blur into the background. The spa also offers tailored treatments, from massages to facials, all designed with your alpine adventures in mind. It’s not so much a spa day as it is a necessary reset button for both body and mind.

The ultimate playground around Lech

Aurelio Lech’s location on the Schlegelkopf slope offers direct ski-in and ski-out access to one of Europe’s most celebrated ski regions. The Arlberg area boasts over 189 miles of pistes, with slopes to suit every level of skier. Whether you’re carving down black runs or (gracefully) tumbling through beginner-friendly terrain, the snow is your playground.

Beyond skiing, the area offers horse-drawn carriage rides that feel like stepping into a fairytale and guided ski tours led by experts who know the mountains like the back of their hands. Lech itself is a charming village with luxury shopping, gourmet dining and enough scenic spots to keep your camera busy. And for those who crave a different kind of adrenaline, helicopter tours offer an unbeatable way to see the Alps from above.

A quick dip into summer

Though Aurelio Lech shines bright in winter, summer brings its own allure. The alpine meadows transform into lush green landscapes, perfect for hiking and mountain biking. Golf and fishing are on offer for those who like their leisure activities with a side of tranquility. The hotel’s yoga and fitness programs take on an almost meditative quality against the serene summer backdrop. Even heli-golfing—yes, that’s a thing—is available for those looking to mix luxury with sport.

Family-friendly fun

Aurelio Lech doesn’t overlook its youngest guests. While there’s no official kids’ club, KAX will organize activities tailored to children. Babysitting services can also be arranged, giving parents a chance to sneak off for some much-deserved spa time or a leisurely meal. Unique experiences like the Alpaca Meet & Greet ensure there’s something special for every family member, no matter their age.

A perfect place for a buyout and event

Aurelio Lech’s event spaces are as versatile as they are elegant. From corporate meetings to intimate weddings, the property provides the perfect backdrop for gatherings that call for a touch of alpine magic. The hotel’s attention to detail ensures that every event, no matter the size, feels personal and unforgettable.
