Almhof Schneider  

Tucked into the village of Lech am Arlberg at the foot of the Schlegelkopf, this 5-star alpine retreat sits somewhat off the main road so you can stroll into the centre and step onto your skis right outside the front door. Places listed nearby include Hohenbregenz, Pfarrkirche St Gallus and Martinsturm.

Family-run since 1451 and welcoming guests like home since 1929, the hotel blends quiet village charm with modern comforts. Rooms come with a desk, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, Blu‑ray player, safety deposit box and private bath; certain rooms add a balcony and views. Staff speak English, Spanish, Italian, German and French.

A full spa and wellness centre features an indoor pool, sauna, steam bath, solarium, massage room and fitness area, plus a yoga zone and library for downtime. Families will love the kids' club, playground and playrooms. Ski-to-door access, on-site ski pass sales, a terrace and garden make it easy to enjoy hiking and winter sports—wake up to crisp alpine mornings and clip in at the door.

Free WiFi throughout the property, 24-hour front desk, concierge and airport transportation available.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve guests daily, with breakfast offered buffet, à la carte or continental. Room service is also available for laid-back mornings.
