Where the coolest people go
milk belongs to the area Arlberg , which includes four more towns Zürs, St. Anton, St. Christoph and Stuben and has been awarded several times. From Spain there are two ways to arrive by plane, the Innsbruck less than 40 km but with less air frequency, and that of Zürich , two hours by car. In sports, one of the biggest attractions is its famous “Anillo Blanco”, a legendary circuit of more than 400 kilometers that runs through the entire area, and where most mountain sports can be practiced. Its history dates back to the end of the 1930s, and touring it means enjoying the best views offered by its spectacular viewpoints, while delighting any self-respecting skier. An advice? Look for the Rud Alpe restaurant and stop along the way for a midday snack, although the most recommended and lively time is after skiing.
One of the most sought-after areas for lovers of luxury and winter sports
SHOPPING TIME APRÉS-SKI
Because it is precisely when the sports day ends the best time to enjoy the town of Lech. A perfect option in the afternoon is to go shopping, and not only in ski equipment stores, since in Lech you can also buy accessories and brand clothing; visit interesting bookstores that hide curious books , or souvenir and gift shops for all tastes.
We started the route in one of the Friendly Brändle Ski Sport Mode chain stores, without a doubt, the perfect place to rent the material or purchase any accessory or piece to complete the runway look. If you are looking for French or Italian fashion firms where you can buy clothes from renowned designers such as Valentino, Prada, Gucci, you should spend some time at Sagmeister. And, since we are in Austria, maybe it's a good time to buy some part of a Tracht , the traditional costumes so well known throughout the world. For this, the best option is to go to Lenai & Linai. If you don't fancy an afternoon of shopping, the alternative is to take a walk through the Kastle Mountain Museum (Rüfikopf-Bergstation), the museum that owns the material brand where you can learn about and discover its history.

LOCAL GASTRONOMY
Austria has two typical dishes that everyone should try to get to know its most genuine gastronomy. The first is the Wiener Schinitzel , a very fine Viennese escalope accompanied by potato salad and a slice of lemon (this last element is essential in the dish) . The second is the mythical fondue of cheese which, as a general rule, is usually Gruyère Y emmental . There is also the meat version, which has more followers every day. For dessert, of course, it is essential to taste a Apple strudel either Apple strudel , the most famous dessert in this area, and whose origins go back to ancient Turkish and Armenian recipes.
Eat at Alter Golener Berg and drool at the views...
Where can we enjoy all these delicacies? You will find them in numerous restaurants, but we recommend Alter Golener Berg , where you can taste a one hundred percent homemade and regional meal that is very well cared for, admiring, at the same time, beautiful views of the entire valley . In the same way in Aurelio's Gourmet Restaurant the stoves are more international but, without abandoning, at any time, the Austrian essence. Indeed, take advantage of the sunset time on your terrace for a glass of wine , because it is one of the best pleasures in Lech. On the other hand, if you are looking for another type of food, Fux Restaurant+Bar+Kultur is a two-in-one restaurant that allows you, on the one hand, to try a delicious Asian fusion and, on the other, a tasty meat in its steakhouse.

Your imagination is the limit (and the budget, perhaps)
LAST CALL
Normally in ski resorts it is enhanced the after sky cup more than the one after dinner, although, if you want, there is always plan B. In Lech you have a list of bars that you have to know for their good atmosphere. An excellent stop is the Krone hotel bar where you can have a wine, a whiskey or a delicious cocktail next to one of its fireplaces. A little further from the center, although 5 minutes by taxi, is Schneggarei , a small house with Alpine architecture in which wood is the main protagonist. Without a doubt, it is one of the favorite places for visitors and locals, especially for its delicious pizza menu that crosses borders. Finally, for those night owls who can't wait to go to sleep, the mythical stairs that go down to K Club will guide them to the most fun night.
