Lech town For the first 4 and a half days in Lech it snows hard. We all head off to ski school wearing our avalanche bleepers. Soon our powder skiing is reaching new heights as we hit off piste slopes all over Lech and Zurs.

Off the slopes we settle into a comfortable routine of tea in the Arlberg, dinners all over the resort and nightcaps in the Snackerei.

Our organisers, Julia and Lucille, have done a fantastic job and provide itinaries for all the restaurants they have booked for the week. Likewise the Aurelio, our hotel/b&b is brilliant with great rooms, sauna and resident masseuse.
