By Elisabeth Rushton on Sep 20, 2014 in Austria, Clubs, Europe, Food and Drink, Going Out, Leisure Travel, Regions, Restaurants, Spas & Pampering, Speciality Travel, Travel Miscellany, Western Europe

I have skied in Lech since I was a child, and it is the resort that I keep returning to. Lech fuses tradition and modernity perfectly.
