Austria is also one of the best places to go skiing in Europe, with the little mountain village of Lech am Arlberg, often simply shortened to Lech, being a very popular choice. Located on the banks of the river Lech, this village is located in the Bludenz district in northeastern Austria. Lech is a sleepy mountain town situated at an elevation of over 4,700 feet (1,400 m) above sea level and home to barely 1,500 people, but it attracts thousands more in both summer and winter.
Many celebrities and famous faces like Tom Cruise and Princess Diana have visited this location in the past, and the ski resort hosts the 'White Ring' (Weisser Ring), which is the longest ski race on Earth, as well as various other special events. In short, it's one of the best ski villages in all of Europe, and one of the best hotels to choose in Lech is undoubtedly the Hotel Gotthard.
