Oberlech: Pension Berger
Oberlech has served as a mountain settlement in Vorarlberg since the Middle Ages. Set above Lech am Arlberg in the Lech valley of the Eastern Alps, it forms a compact district within the wider Arlberg resort area. Pension Berger belongs to Oberlech’s network of hotels and guesthouses, positioned among mountain meadows, ski runs and lift infrastructure. The Bergbahn Lech–Oberlech and an underground service tunnel connect the settlement with Lech below, while Ski Arlberg links it with neighbouring mountain communities. Walser settlement traditions remain an important part of the cultural identity of this high-alpine corner of Austria.

Oberlech occupies a south-facing mountainside above Lech in Vorarlberg’s Arlberg region. At roughly 1,750 metres, this largely car-free alpine settlement looks across the upper Lech valley, where steep slopes and high pastures define the setting. It is linked to Lech by lift and an underground access system, allowing the village centre to remain focused on walking, skiing and mountain life rather than road traffic. The White Ring ski circuit connects Oberlech with Lech, Zürs and other Arlberg resorts, while the wider area reflects the legacy of Walser settlers who arrived in these valleys during the Middle Ages.

Built around Alpine valley routes and the Rhine corridor, Vorarlberg grew into Austria’s westernmost federal state, where the Alps meet the shores of Lake Constance. The Rhine forms much of its border with Switzerland, while the Bregenzerwald, Arlberg and Montafon give the region a strongly mountainous character. Bregenz, on Lake Constance, is known internationally for the Bregenz Festival and its lakeside floating stage. Compact towns, timber architecture and a long textile-manufacturing tradition reflect a region linked closely to neighbouring Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
