Lech (Lech) in the Russian-speaking Internet for some reason called the analogue of the French Courchevel and I did not understand why - the usual Austrian ski resort.
No more nor less.
The same chalets, hotels, guest houses and apartments.
The same mountain river along the road.
The same stores as everywhere.
Well, the price is the same - no less.
Austria is cheaper than France on a ski.
The resort is small, like the town of Lech.
Actually local residents There is no - the service staff of hotels and restaurants, as well as the technical staff, who monitors the health of the Androna collider, which is in a kilometer from here.
From Munich Airport to Lech reached for 3 hours.
On this day, something had something wrong with the weather: very cold.
It is good that the schnaps and gluchweight pour at every step.
For austrian resorts -17 in the evening it is very unusual, but nevertheless it did not affect our plans:
- mobile Internet. SIM card A1 is bought by mail. Costs 10 euros. The price includes 1.5GB Internet 3G
- found an instructor for Ikrinka - she first became on a snowboard 2 days ago in the sorcers (School of snowboarders and skiers are opposite the city hall, behind the river).
- bought a skipas for 7 days of rental from tomorrow: Skipas to the whole region where we will - Arlberg. (Zurs, St Anton and other smaller villages)
- resolved the issue with a rental of a snowboard - all three points that I designated above, at a distance of 10-20 meters from each other)
Impressions on Lech restaurants
Since there are many hotels in 4 and 5 stars in Lech, which offer HB (half-board) to their guests, then the choice of restaurants in Lech is not big.
Although, knowing Austria, I did not worry much because of this: the Austrians are not skilled in the food and the menu every day: salad, first, second and compote.
Public in Lehe
It seemed that there was a skier and although there was a snowpark over the central chair lift - he was nine clear and a rare skier sweeps here without stopping to smoke and drink.
Impressions about preski
Lech is a village, especially after Ishli with his disco, dancing on the tables and night skiing with torches on the sleigh.
There are a pair of open veranda in front of hotels, which are located near the central chairlift, where they drink up to 9 pm.
After 9, everything will be empty and Lech streets die out.
Yesterday we went to St. Anton, I almost get into avalanche, which fell on the road Rovenhonko after our passage on it ... So - in the St. Antona more fun in tens of times (we will be there after 24.01).
Today in Lehe, the competition in high-speed descent on the prize of local Malberg Arlberg Zuhan was held.
Everyone who paid 10 euros of an entrance fee for damaging a smooth snow surface could take part in them.
I paid my participation, but I slept.
But nevertheless, the mayor of the city offered me to participate in the arrival of Audi Quarteth, whose presentation (Audi Quarteth) took place on this day (tomorrow there will be a presentation of Mercedes CLK, a contribution of 25 euros).
Well, I naturally agreed and arrived faster than all other 3 arrival participants.
True, he confused the road to the finish line and drove on the ski track, where he planted the car Audi into a snowdrift and the mast lift number 3.
What can I say: Audi is a car shit.
Lexus is better.
Impressions in the catal
This is the most interesting topic For those who go ride.
So: the wheelchair is ivory, honestly.
But I can please lovers of Mogul and skiers of all the masters - you here!
The whole slope is given to the bumps.
By the way, if you rise on the chair 2-seater lift from the city, then you get to the point at the top, from where you can ride on the not marked tracks without fear of being fined local traffic cops or without fear of becoming the initiator of the gathering of avalanche - there is a lot of housing and always can be said that you are to your apartment or guest house in a drunken form
Today the sun came out and hidden behind the clouds, but nevertheless managed to sunbathe a little - there are sun loungers on the mountains and give a blanket.
After the banking, I do not want to drive gluchwens, and I want beer.
I looked at my physiognomy in the evening in the mirror - it seems that on the face are dressed white glasses ...
But most recently from the south: and the sea ...
And in general, I consider it successful: Over the past two years, I first leave for a banker and now, after Ikrinka will show wonders in Halfpipe, I will ride annually.
The next time in France, of course ...
Although it may be in March to Aspen we will reach Cuba
There is an option to order Heliski, that is, charter helicopter.
The playground is slightly higher than our Lech, but it is necessary to get there chains, and I did not take them in Munich.
