Most of the top restaurants in Lech are situated within high-end hotels, however there are several independent offerings, spanning from family friendly to somewhere special.
Lech's après ski is typically understated, and reflects the elegant yet laidback sensibility of the resort. For a touch of après on the mountain, Schlegelkopf bar and restaurant boasts a Veuve Clicquot terrace and Johnnie Walker whiskey lounge.
