Wine and wellness on Mount Arlberg
The Sunora après-ski rituals
Après-ski naturally has its place in Lech am Arlberg – with loud music, cheerful crowds, and the occasional party anthem. At the Sunora, though, wellness on Mount Arlberg takes a different turn after a day on the slopes. Here, the ritual involves water and a glass of Pinot Noir.
In your hotel with a pool and sauna, relaxation becomes a ceremony for all the senses. And yes, taste plays a surprisingly important role.
Two things define the perfect after-ski ritual at the Sunora: warmth and wine. One restores the body, the other lifts the soul. Together, they shape your evening into one that makes wellness on Mount Arlberg feel especially rewarding.
The art of the reward: wellness in Vorarlberg
After an epic (and exhausting!) day on the slopes, your body deserves a reward. Your thighs have worked through every turn, your calves have kept you balanced, your back has held everything together, and your feet have spent the day wedged into ski boots. Back at your hotel with a pool and sauna, there are only two things you need: warmth and wine.
Let’s start with warmth: straight into the sauna.
From sauna to pool: wellness at your hotel in Lech
The Finnish sauna brings the heat at 85 degrees Celsius – within minutes, everything starts to feel lighter, looser, and more at ease. The bio sauna works at a gentler 60 degrees, ideal if you prefer warmth in softer measure. Or choose the steam room, which wraps you in velvety moisture, or the infrared cabin to warm tired muscles from within.
After the heat, head straight for the pool. The Sunora’s indoor pool is pleasantly warm, and the counter-current system invites you to swim. Meanwhile, the relaxation room gives you every reason to switch off completely. Now that’s wellness in Lech at its most restorative.
The logic of indulgence:
another side of wellness in Lech
Christoph is both host and sommelier, and he has a gift for choosing exactly the right wine for the moment. His cellar is home to exceptional bottles from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Tuscany, Piedmont, and the Wachau region. After a day in the mountains, he might open the evening with a chilled Grüner Veltliner: fresh, clear, and unmistakably Austrian. Later, perhaps, a glass of Pinot Noir: soft, velvety, and just right for the hour.
Wine and skiing go together like cheese fondue and a mountain view. In the Alps, we have understood for centuries that good food and good wine are as much a part of winter as snow and sunshine. Christoph brings that connection to your stay, adding a more personal, more flavourful layer to wellness on Mount Arlberg.
For the winter hikers among you
This wellness hotel in Lech am Arlberg welcomes skiers warmly, but it is just as inviting for those who prefer to explore winter on foot. After a day spent snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, a hotel with a pool and sauna will feel every bit as rewarding as after a day on the piste. The rituals stay the same: first the warmth that brings everything back into balance, then a glass of wine to round off the day.
At the Sunora, after-ski comes down to two rituals that are lovely on their own and irresistible together: wellness to restore the body, and wine to lift the soul. Both belong, and both are worth savouring. Together, they make a winter evening feel complete, darling.
