Overview: chalet description: Chalet 1597 description

Originally built in 1597, this enchanting property has been lovingly refurbished paying utmost attention to detail

Chalet 1597 is one of the finest chalets available to rent in Lech. The owners of the chalet have thoughtfully retained many of the original features and cleverly combined these and antique pieces with sumptuous fabrics and furniture to create a very chic and charming alpine home. In 2014, this beautiful chalet was awarded as Austria's Best Ski Chalet at the World Ski Awards.

Aperitifs can be enjoyed in the dramatic ambiance of the chalet’s traditional stone cave and wine cellar before dinner is served in the impressive dining room which seats up to 14 people. After dinner, retire to the cosy living area or perhaps take in a movie in the cinema room.
