Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Lech info request on best pistes bars and mountain restaurants
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I'm off with a mate on the 10th for a week, stopping in Ski Totals chalet hotel Montfort and whilst I've skied in Lech for a day when I went to St Anton 10 years ago, can anyone help me with info on the best runs, apres bars and mountain restaurants or point me in the direction of a previous thread.

Tah Very Happy

The best mountain restaurants are the Goldener Berg and Montana Hotels in Oberlech. The Montana is the hotel with the Olympic rings on it (it is owned by Patrick Ortlieb who won the Gold Medal in the Men's Downhill in 1992 in Val d'isere).

There's a bar built of ice just above Oberlech, I think it is marked on the piste map.

You can sit and drink in one of the outside bars on the high street in the afternoon and watch the numerous fur coats wandering by.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Goldener Berg and Montana.....that's a rather generic choice of restaurants, and the Icebar is not in Oberlech but at the Schlegelkopf chair bergstation.

Much better eating and atmosphere: Murmeli, Cresta, Formarin.
Apres-ski in Lech: very sedate.

Best runs: all runs! Cool

Schneggarei on the right as you reach the bottom is a good place for lunch on their terrace and for apres.

On the mountain Rud Alpe and Krigeralpe are both good, but get busy so consider booking for lunch.

http://rud-alpe.at/ and http://www.kriegeralpe.com/en/

Balmalp restaurant also a good place to sit on the terrace if the sun is shining

Never been to it, but the K Club might be worth a look in.

@stevew, The White Ring circuit is a good day out (if conditions allow, which they may well not do)

The slopes above Zurs are lovely and quiet although slightly samey in a red-run kinda way.

Some great easy off-piste itineraries off the Hochlight down to Zug.

Nice resort - I'm off there in 53 weeks time Confused

We stayed in the Montfort a couple of years ago and everything about the holiday was good. Not far from the chalet is a lift outside the Berghof Hotel which takes you down to street level. Red 10 above Zurs is a favourite run together with the run off the top of the Rufikopf Cablecar which takes you down to Zurs from Lech.
