Family Ski Holidays at Hotel Sonnenburg
A colourful universe full of winter activities for the whole family. That is what awaits you in and around our 5-star family hotel Sonnenburg. We are located in the centre of Ski Arlberg skiing area. Skiers and snowboarders particularly value our ski-in ski-out: the Sonnenburg hotel in Oberlech is located directly on the ski slope, between children’s slope and the ski school. In addition, we provide an in-house ski rental service. However, there is much more to Lech am Arlberg than just skiing: winter sports enthusiasts can go tobogganing, winter hiking or take a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh. Winter holidays in the mountains around Hotel Sonnenburg in Oberlech are a treat for both children and adults.
Summer Holidays in the Mountains
A summer holiday at our family hotel will put a sparkle in your eyes. Hiking in the Arlberg region provides active families and mountaineers with spectacular views. You might also want to explore the Lech mountains by e-bike or by horseback hiking. Of course, guests of all ages can have a try at activities such as family canyoning or children’s mountain climbing. Besides, the Sonnenburg hotel Lech is also a great place to spend family holidays as an extended or large family. When grandchildren, parents, and grandparents unite for a family vacation, they create unforgettable experiences and stories. Oberlech in summer is a unique experience. Discover it for yourself!
Cuisine
– Sophisticated Austrian Food with an International Touch
In our restaurants we focus on Austrian cuisine. After all, every great family holiday includes first-class food – for every single guest of the Sonnenburg hotel. No matter whether you are vegan, eat gluten-free or suffer from food incompatibilities. We are happy to discuss this topic with you individually.
At Hotel Sonnenburg in Oberlech you start the day with a fabulous breakfast buffet at our hotel restaurant. In the evening, we pamper you with a delicious 5-course menu.
Or you can spend the evening together at our à la carte restaurant “Schüna” in a rustic and stylish setting: the original wooden log cabin offers a breathtaking view of the mountains. As a family, group or company event you can spend a unique evening with up to 35 people.
In addition, you can take advantage of the mountain sun at one of the most beautiful places in Oberlech: our sun terrace. At lunchtime we serve typical alpine dishes, while in the afternoon you can taste homemade pastries and enjoy the breathtaking view over the majestic peaks of the Arlberg mountains.
