Lech is a top class resort both on and off the slopes. the village is lovely to wander around although very expensive! the whole area is just great though and it usually gets good snow - i went in april 2006 and there was tonnes of the stuff. there are plenty of lifts and the slopes are suitable for most abilities although maybe not for the very first timer. oberlech is a village a bit up the mountain which provides a nice atmosphere and many restaurants.
