Austrian Alps

Lech

Deep, reliable snow (Arlberg is one of the surest bets in the Alps) and heli-skiing that opens up terrain most resorts can't touch. The architecture is restrained: timber, gabled roofs, nothing built to block the view. And per capita, nowhere in the Alps holds more Michelin and Gault Millau stars. This is a village with a genuine claim to the best tables in the mountains.
