Oberlech is a car-free village perched above Lech am Arlberg, and Burgwald Hotel sits within it at ski-piste level, meaning guests can clip into their bindings and head directly onto the slopes. The Oberlech Gondola station is a three-minute walk from the hotel, connecting quickly to the wider Ski Arlberg area — one of Austria's most extensive lift-linked networks, spanning over 300 kilometres of marked runs. The village itself is compact and walkable, with restaurants, ski hire and lift infrastructure all within easy reach. Lech am Arlberg, accessible via gondola or a short drive, expands the options for dining and après-ski considerably. For those travelling by road, Oberlech is reached via Lech, which sits approximately 90 minutes from Innsbruck Airport and around two hours from Zurich.

The sun-drenched, car-free luxury balcony of the Arlberg.
Oberlech is a picturesque, car-free ski village situated at 1,750 meters on a sun-drenched plateau directly above Lech am Arlberg. Known as the "balcony of the Arlberg," it is an exclusive, highly sought-after destination featuring an intricate network of underground tunnels to service its luxury hotels without disturbing the pristine, snow-covered streets above. Access to the village in winter is exclusively via the Bergbahn Lech-Oberlech cable car, making it a true winter wonderland where guests step straight out of their accommodations and onto the slopes. The atmosphere is serene and deeply luxurious, with a heavy emphasis on high-end gastronomy, sunny terrace dining, and impeccable Austrian hospitality. As an integral part of Ski Arlberg, Austria's largest interconnected ski area, Oberlech offers seamless access to 302 kilometers of immaculate pistes and world-renowned freeride terrain. Whether tackling the famous "White Ring" circuit, enjoying gentle beginner slopes right outside the hotel door, or exploring the vast off-piste powder of the wider Arlberg region, skiers of all levels are flawlessly catered to.
Oberlech provides unparalleled ski-in/ski-out access to the vast Ski Arlberg network, catering brilliantly to sweeping intermediate cruisers and absolute beginners alike.
