Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Lech's luxury Kristiania hotel has a special three-night package available during the last month of the season in the Arlberg.

The Kristiana's half board offer runs from 30 March to 29 April, a time known as Wedel Weeks in the region. Guests purchasing the package will be treated to fine dining and Alpine skiing with sunny Spring snow conditions.

Guests can enjoy views of the river Lech, privacy, individuality, Austrian hospitality, and a romantic atmosphere.

The Kristiania boasts 30 rooms and suites, all beautifully appointed. Each has its own special style and ambience.  

The package, priced at 628 Euros per person, includes champagne and chocolate-glazed strawberries in your room upon arrival, as well as a lavish breakfast buffet in the mornings.  You'll enjoy daily gourmet dinner and free use of the hotel's heath club and spa.  You also can receive a 30-minute massage or a bath prepared by the hotel's unique bath butler service.  Lift tickets are available at discounted rates.

Lech was one of the earliest Alpine ski villages, with the first appearance of Telemarking skiers on "Nordic Planks" here in the 1890s, 15 years before the Alpine variant of skiing, most commonly used today, was invented.  Lech has quietly established itself in the century since then as one of the world's greatest ski resorts, having several of the crowned heads of Europe in its list of repeat clientele. Today the village still attracts visitors to its more than 35 four- and five-star hotels (that's more than twice as many as there are in St. Moritz).
