What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside, the look is classic alpine luxury hotel with a boho-chic twist: wood paneling and colorful patterned fabrics, mid-century modern furniture, and faux-fur accents.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Oberlech is entirely car-free, linking hotels, chalets, and chairlifts through an underground tunnel network beneath the pistes.
The rooms
Light timber paneling and warm textiles frame mountain panoramas, while higher-tier chalet suites feature stone fireplaces and deep balconies.
The pool and saunas
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor infinity pool overlooks the snow, and thermal rooms include a panorama mountain sauna.
The spa
Stone pine relaxation rooms look out toward the mountains, and treatments include energetic bodywork and craniosacral therapy.
At the table
Sun terraces draped in sheepskin look across the ski runs, and wood-paneled Johannesstübli serves plant-based alpine menus.
How it began
The hotel opened in 1930, quickly drawing skiers and artists who gathered in a cellar bar called ski hell.
