Who these Austrian chalet stays suit best
Different chalets in this collection suit different kinds of travellers, from families after easy slope access to serious skiers chasing terrain.
The right match depends on group size, skiing ability and whether the trip centres on winter sport or summer mountain time.
- Families with young skiers are best served in Lech, where ski-in ski-out chalets put the beginner slopes and the village within easy reach.
- Confident skiers ski straight out of Lech into Ski Arlberg, where the Flexenbahn opens St Anton’s freeride terrain on the same pass.
- Larger groups and multi-generational parties get shared space without losing privacy in the big catered chalets, which run to private chefs and in-house spa rooms.
- Couples wanting a quieter week can take a single apartment at the Kitzbühel farmhouse rather than a whole house, keeping the setting without the scale.
- Summer travellers get more than 1,000 km of hiking and biking trails from Kitzbühel, with swimming and fishing at the Schwarzsee below.
