Well·be·ing pleasant feeling; feeling of comfort “someone experiences a feeling of wellbeing” When a snowstorm is raging outside and Lech and the Arlberg are transformed into a winter wonderland, it’s time to spend languorous hours by the blissfully warm, crackling open fire in the Post. For years the Post in Lech has been considered the hotel on the Arlberg. Where hospitality and tradition are paramount. Where guests become friends. Where the hours pass a little more slowly. And where everyday life is forgotten for a while. Exactly how a holiday should be.
Welcome home
Dear guests and friends of the Post!
2020 is a year sure to linger long in the memory.
It was with great regret that an idyllic picture-book
winter had to be prematurely brought to an end
due to the coronavirus crisis. But naturally the
priority was the health of all guests and staff. We
are incredibly grateful to the Austrian authorities
for their swift reaction - only in this way was it
possible to keep the virus in check. Several of our
colleagues were “stranded” in the Post when the
village was placed in quarantine and we made
the best possible use of the newly-acquired time
together to learn from and grow with one another
- as a team, as people and as individuals.
"Big changes in our life can be a second chance."
Harrison Ford
Step by step we are moving slowly and cautiously
towards normality again, back to a new routine. And
yet we are keen to preserve what we know and love:
the renowned hospitality, the warm encounters, the
traditional culinary delights and relaxing hours spent
in the Post.
