Kristiana Lech Information
Description
Lech has never been compromised by tourism, it is still a picturesque town nestled in an alpine landscape as beautiful in summer as it is in winter. Above it, and on its fringes is the Sporthotel Kristiania, the pride of Othmar Schneider, 1952 Olympic Slalom Champion. Said London's Evening Standard: "In a town of opulent hotels, Kristiania competes very well. A vividly good-looking designer hotel interior that successfully cuts rustic with modern - sumptuous fabrics and contemporary paintings". Indeed, the rooms are seriously luxurious if simple in style. But that's its charm. There's an infectious conviviality about the bar where its easy to make friends especially with one of the many malts on offer. The restaurant will take you to new heights: superb cuisine and a great choice of wines with impeccable service. The Health Club will reinvigorate you after skiing or hiking. Or you can relax on the sun deck and simply enjoy the therapy of the view.The hotel will be closed from 10th April and will re-open 2nd December 2005.
