Chalech S is a 6-bedroom luxury alpine chalet in Lech, Austria, sleeping up to 12 guests across 400 square metres of considered mountain architecture. Part of Le Collectionist's Iconic Collection, this exclusive property combines traditional Austrian chalet design with contemporary wellness amenities, including an indoor swimming pool, hammam, sauna and private fitness room. Each of the six bedrooms features mountain views and en-suite bathrooms, whilst the open-plan living spaces centre around a dramatic fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames the Alpine landscape. Lech sits at 1,450 metres in the Arlberg region, connected to the vast Ski Arlberg area with over 300 kilometres of marked runs. The chalet's position provides direct access to some of Austria's most exclusive skiing terrain, where powder snow and groomed pistes attract discerning winter sports enthusiasts from across Europe. Beyond winter, Lech transforms into a mountain hiking and cycling destination, with the chalet serving as a cool-climate summer retreat. The property includes comprehensive concierge services, daily housekeeping, and access to private chefs, ski instructors and wellness treatments, making it ideal for multigenerational families or groups seeking both adventure and relaxation in one of Austria's most prestigious alpine resorts.

Why we chose it

We selected Chalech S for its rare combination of an indoor swimming pool with comprehensive spa facilities in Lech, where such amenities are uncommon even among luxury chalets. The property's position offers authentic Austrian alpine architecture with locally-sourced timber and stone, yet maintains the contemporary comfort standards expected by international guests. Unlike many chalets where wellness facilities feel retrofitted, Chalech S was conceived with its spa area as an integral part of the design, creating a seamless flow between active mountain days and restorative evenings. The exclusive partnership with Le Collectionist's Iconic Collection ensures a level of personalised service that transforms a luxury chalet rental into a fully curated alpine experience, from pre-arrival grocery delivery to on-site ski pass arrangement.
