Every year, the Alpine winter beckons with picturesque views, romantic evenings and a variety of activities. One of the absolute hotspots in Austria is the picturesque Oberlech am Arlberg. It not only impresses with its natural beauty, but is also one of the largest ski resorts in Europe. Even Princess Diana couldn't resist the charm of the winter sports region in Vorarlberg and spent numerous dream vacations here.
Although there's no shortage of comfortable hotels, a spacious chalet in the mountains is simply unbeatable for spending an unforgettable time as a couple, with friends or even the whole family. One such retreat in Oberlech is the luxurious Chalet Mimi, which fulfills every wish with its five-star service, butler and in-house chef. Fashion and lifestyle influencer Olga Löffler from Munich was there. Together with her husband Niclas and their children Maya and Oscar, they inspected the winter hideaway for Falstaff TRAVEL.

All-round service

Everything's organized from arrival to departure. The personal butler service ensures that nothing is left to be desired around the clock. A concierge is also available 24/7 to book ski instructors, babysitters, limousine and helicopter transfers or to plan parties. An in-house chauffeur is also available on call. The housekeeping team comes twice a day, and a laundry service is also available for an extra charge.
The in-house private chef takes care of your physical well-being, preparing traditional Austrian and international dishes as a family-style table buffet or as a course menu, while the butler serves exquisite wines from the wine cellar. For a change, themed evenings, for example with raclette or fondue, are also possible, which is particularly popular with larger groups. In addition, every day starts with a hearty breakfast that includes everything your heart desires. In the afternoon, you can look forward to afternoon tea, coffee and cake. But there are also countless culinary delights outside the chalet. You can experience both on the mountain and in the nearby village.

A large family needs space, which is why a chalet is perfect for us," says Löffler, explaining her choice of accommodation for the winter holiday. The living space at Chalet Mimi extends to a generous 830 square meters. There's a main suite, three double rooms (one with a connecting room containing bunk beds for two children) and an extra children's room with bunk beds for four. The chalet could easily accommodate three families.

The chalet's style exudes understated luxury, seamlessly blending the traditional aesthetics of the region with contemporary comfort. The bedrooms are all individually designed and you'll find luxury personal care products in the six bathrooms. The spacious living and dining area features a bar and an open fireplace that sets the perfect stage for romance. The entertainment room, which transforms into a cinema or a yoga room, the TV lounge and library with an international selection of books ensure that guests can choose entertainment or relaxation at the end of each day.

The spa is another area where no expense has been spared. An indoor pool, an indoor and outdoor whirlpool, a bio-sauna, a steam bath, a massage room, a relaxation area and a vitality bar are all available to guests who wish to unwind after a long day on the slopes. Massage and yoga sessions can be provided on request. But the ultimate indulgence is the spa cinema, where you can enjoy your favorite film or TV show right from the water or while relaxing on a poolside lounger.

Off to the slopes!

With over 300 kilometers of groomed pistes and countless powder snow and firn slopes, Oberlech is very popular with winter sports enthusiasts. The design and amenities of Chalet Mimi are perfect for a family. "Its ski-in, ski-out location allows us to make the most of our time here by hitting the slopes straight from the breakfast table," enthuses the mother of two.

In addition to skiing and snowboarding, a variety of activities like tobogganing, ice skating and curling provide fun for the whole family, while the snowshoe hiking trails allow everyone to fully appreciate the majestic beauty of the mountains. Couples seeking a romantic interlude can admire the picturesque landscape on a horse-drawn carriage ride. Back at the chalet, you can conveniently store your equipment in your own ski storage room, complete with boot warmers. The center of Oberlech is a mere five-minute walk from the chalet, making it convenient for leisurely shopping or a relaxing stroll, while the stores and cafés in Lech Zürs, where the Arlberg region weaves its special magic, are just half an hour away.
