Ski Trip to Lech

We have a ski trip to Lech planned for February %26#39;06. I would appreciate a recommendation for a traditional bed and breakfast. Is it easy to find accomodations in Lech that don%26#39;t require a weeks stay? Does the bus from Langen run regularly?



Thanks.

Lech - probably Austria´s most exclusive and most expensive skiing resort; all February is high season; I would assume it´s fully booked, so I doubt if finding B%26amp;B for less than a week will be easy. (I think Lech even affords a policy of excluding day visitors by selling only a limited number of ski lift tickets a day). Yes, the bus from Langen runs regularly, unless the road is blocked by avalanches, which occurs quite frequently all winter.



Anyway, check with the tourist information:

The write up in the last posting is right.....feb is peak season %26amp; Lech is pretty much booked up. You could try www.tiscover.at and see if there is any availability for the dates you require or try Zuers up the road. Good luck!

check tiscover - many family pensions are affordable, but book by the week only. the snow conditions are great in lech - it%26#39;s a very popular destination. the skiing is easy %26amp; intermediate. at zurs you have only big expensive hotels and mostly red slopes (icier). if all is booked - there is always st.anton (and valuga;). there%26#39;s much more there. it%26#39;s a younger jock crowd, bar hopping and noisy. but there are always pensione available - just don%26#39;t give up! the diff. between pension and garni - is that garni does not serve breakfast - you%26#39;re on your own with food. pensions serve just breakfast, occasionally there is a restaurant. there is a nice supermarket and wonderful cheese and speck (dry cured ham) shops - you won%26#39;t starve. restaurants are busy however and quite expensive. lech is less commercial and very few shops , st.anton has bars and shops galore!
