1597? Is this gorgeous luxury chalet really more than 400 years old? Well, obviously it has been restored, extended and redesigned, but yes. Chalet 1597 is an original village house which has been given a high class makeover. Met by your courteous hosts at the door, you will quickly feel at home in the cluster of charming rooms, embellished with original features and antiques. This is how it must feel to arrive at the home of aristocratic Austrian relatives who have gone away and left you in the dedicated care of their staff.
The chef has everything under control in the kitchen, and your chauffeur and concierge await your instructions. Everywhere you look, there is wood panelling, honeyed with age; and antlers and original artworks on the walls. The deceptively large Chalet 1597 has five bedrooms, a wide variety of living areas and cosy nooks, plus a generous spa. You can really make yourselves at home here, enjoying a glass of champagne by the wood-burning Stube, settling down in the stylish cinema room, or playing a friendly game at the card table upstairs.
After a day on the well-groomed slopes around Lech, come home to a wonderful treat at your characterful residence. As the evening meal is cooking, venture down to the stone recesses of the wine cellar and tasting room. Here in the subterranean heart of Chalet 1597, you can take a journey through a selection of fine wines.
By contrast, the en-suite bedrooms in Chalet 1597 are modern and airy, whilst still retaining the charming character of the house. The spa area, with its bio-sauna, relaxation area, massage room and outdoor hot tub, is worthy of the most luxurious private health clubs.
Two days of private ski hosting are also included, so all you have to do is relax and be pampered.
Chalet 1597 is located in the Stubenbach area of Lech, part of the extensive Arlberg ski area. It is also possible to ski near to the chalet from the Rüfikoft ski area on a marked off-piste run.
The nearest airports are Innsbruck, approx. 1hr 30mins away or Zurich approx. 2hrs 30mins away.
