Lech in November

December through March gives you Lech's prime skiing conditions, but timing matters more than you'd think. January and February deliver the deepest powder — storms roll through every 7-10 days, dropping 20-40cm of fresh snow. But January also brings the coldest temperatures, sometimes hitting -20°C at summit elevation. March offers the sweet spot: reliable snow, longer days, and temperatures that make lunch on a sunny terrace actually pleasant. Avoid the week between Christmas and New Year unless you enjoy paying double for everything and waiting in lift lines. The first two weeks of December can be hit-or-miss for snow coverage, but hotel rates drop by 30%. Here's an insider tip: late March often delivers the season's best conditions. The base is solid, fresh snow still falls regularly, and you get 11 hours of daylight. Plus, the après-ski terraces become genuinely enjoyable when you're not freezing.
