Inside the chalet hotel was nice and clean, it was quite a quiet week so wasn’t packed and was probably only 70% occupied with a majority of the guests being English.

Location: where is Chalet Hotel Alexandra

Superb location close to village centre, ski-lifts and slopes

Overview: chalet description: Chalet Hotel Alexandra description

The Alexandra is a delightful property, which combines high standards of comfort with a warm and welcoming style, all in an enviably convenient location here in one of Austria’s most prestigious resorts.

Ski access is easy, with the Schlosskopf chairlift only approximately 4 minutes walk away to whisk you straight up and off into this matchless ski area, and you can return to this point at the end of your ski day. Alternatively the ski bus stops at the front door and drops you in the village centre in minutes. For après ski and evening entertainment, the huge choice available in the village centre starts only approx. 6-8 minutes walk away.

The comfortable, well-appointed bedrooms offer every home comfort, and you can relax in style in the lounge/bar or unwind in the stylish ‘Wellness’ area, before enjoying our excellent Chalet Hotel cuisine in the attractive dining-room.

Meals: Chalet Hotel Alexandra food & drink

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff involved in food preparation are trained to the City & Guilds qualification – Level 2 in Food Safety during the pre-season training course. There is a continental breakfast is every morning and a breakfast hot option, afternoon tea and evening dinners are provided for six days of the week in both chalets and Chalet Hotels.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a hot option, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff day off, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff day off. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready.

Piste Picnics

Our Chalet Hotels can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For skiers keen to keep their Euro-spending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!

Children's High Tea

In chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 11 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Families in Chalet Hotels

Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge of £39 at the time of booking only.

Dinner in Chalet Hotels

In the evenings our chefs will cook you a three-course meal six nights a week. Before your meal, there is a glass of prosecco and canapés served in the bar. The three courses consist of an appetiser, main course and dessert – with unlimited complimentary red, white and rosé wine during service! There is also an option for vegetarians.

There is a choice of appetiser, main course and dessert or cheese and your order is usually taken in the morning and then is served to your table.

On the staff one night off per week just a continental breakfast is provided and it’s a great opportunity for you to experience some local restaurants in your resort. Speak to your resort representative or Chalet Hotel Manager for recommendations and help with reservations.

Vegetarian and Special Diets

Vegetarian options are available in our properties – just advise us at time of bookings so that we can ensure that our staff can prepare. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared. Our Chalet Hosts will discuss your dietary requirements with you upon arrival to the chalet or Chalet Hotel.

Christmas and New Year

All of our chalets and Chalet Hotels will serve a traditional Christmas dinner with a glass of Champagne to start off the evening. This will include roast turkey with all of the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers and party hats plus a fantastic Alpine atmosphere in which to enjoy the day.

A special festive menu will also be served on New Year’s Eve, alongside the added bonus that many resorts put on fantastic firework displays. A glass of fizz, whilst watching fireworks over the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.. what better way to bring in the New Year!

Our Quality Wines

We are very proud of our wine selection for chalets and Chalet Hotels, which combines crisp and fruity whites with medium to full-bodied reds, for a variety of palates. We select our wines in conjunction with our good friends Nicolas and Véronique – the third generation in the Perret family’s fine wine business based in the Savoie. Nicolas is a qualified wine expert, having trained at the prestigious Burgundy Wine University in Beaune. Each season in October, Nicolas & Véronique bring over a new selection for us to sample (someone has to do it!) and together we choose our wines for the coming season, based on our menus and their pure enjoyment factor. Wine is an incredibly subjective and emotive subject, however, the feedback we have received from our guests over recent seasons endorses our aims of providing wines to enhance your meal and to suit most tastes. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!

We update Chalet Hotel Alexandra's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

Known as one of the classic ski resorts, Lech is part of the ‘Best of the Alps’ group. Also crowned 2004’s Prettiest Village in Europe, it oozes traditional alpine charm with the bonus of a world-class ski area and some of the best snow in the Alps. The resort’s superior status in the skiing world has made it a favourite of the rich and Royal for decades – Princess Di used to ski here and sharing a chairlift with Tom Cruise or Vladimir Putin is a real possibility... The uber-posh town has an exclusive feel,...
This is famously the setting of the hilarious skiing scene in ‘Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason’, although you won’t have any Bridget-like disasters on the piste if you take advantage of the excellent instruction and beginner slopes on offer. You’ll find some lovely nursery slopes behind the village church (you can’t miss it) and up around Oberlech to practice on until you feel confident enough to take the Schlegelkpof and explore some brilliant gentle terrain for skiers and snowboarders. With oodles of...
Jägertee (rum, black tea and spices) is the local’s drink of choice, making it a must-try when you’re back from the slopes. Most of the nightlife here reflects Lech’s status as a first class resort, with venues emitting high-end and exclusive feel. While it doesn’t have the same legendary reputation as the après in neighbouring St Anton, you can still find a brilliant variety of venues offering a mix of the traditional and contemporary – chop and change between traditional tea dances and late night clubbi...

"Wonderful end-of-season ski holiday"

Nikola Raszykova, Reading
4/ out of 5
The Alexandra was good and we had a really good week. It was the last week of the season (or maybe the second last week) so it wasn’t fully occupied which was good. Our room was actually really big with 3-4 beds but this was maybe related to the fact that the chalet wasn’t fully occupied. We had a really nice view - we could see the mountains from bed and there was also a balcony. The shower room was perfectly fine too. We didn’t hang around much in the chalet apart from the mornings and evenings as you’re there for the skiing, but the staff were very nice and the service was good – everyone in the chalet was extremely pleased to be there. We had a breakfast and evening meal every night apart from the one evening when the staff are off. There was a ski bus stopping right in front of the chalet, but the service was obviously limited as it was the last week of the season. If you just walk 2 to 3 minutes (this is walking slowly with skis and boots) there’s a bus stop higher up that has a more frequent service.

Inside the chalet hotel was nice and clean, it was quite a quiet week so wasn’t packed and was probably only 70% occupied with a majority of the guests being English. The room was clean - not huge but a reasonable size. The boot room is very accessible and has heated boot things which worked fine. The chalet people were charming and couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food was very good, everyone dined together as they do in a chalet hotel and afternoon tea was always soup and cake. We sat outside quite a lot because it was sunny which was nice. The only thing I would say is that it was a bit of a hike to get to the slopes if there isn’t any snow at the bottom (which was the case when we were here in April), because the chalet hotel is laid back off the main road. When they drop you off, you have to drag your bags for the 5 minute walk to the hotel. It took about 10-15 minutes to get to the main lift as you have to take a 5 minute zig-zag route up a hill to get to the bus stop (walking back is not an issue as it’s downhill). There is a little bus that goes past the door but only every so often, so you have to get your timings right (the timetable is on the bus post and the chalet staff should know too). If you don’t mind getting up early to catch it, you can get this bus to the door and back. There is a little two person chair lift that is closer than the main lift and takes about 10 minutes to walk to, but we found it easier to get one of the buses.

"Friendly place in one of Austria's best ski villages"

Its a traditional Austrian chalet and is in an ideal location, close to the piste and close to the resort centre too, so you can easily explore all that Lech has to offer. You are only a short walk away to the Schlosskopt lift, which whisks you up and away to hit the slopes up top, and its nice to not have a long walk at the end of the day too. The sauna / Jacuzzi are located on the lower floor where you can relax with friends and family (check this is available before you book). Lech is known for being a very classy destination and the old fashioned look and feel of this chalet hotel is a perfect match for it. Its also a great value way to stay in a famously high end resort.
