Join the Family | Stay for the Mountains

Working at Hotel Lech means you are more than a “helping hand”. You become part of a story, a house that has been welcoming guests since 1954.

In a family-run business, you don’t just fill a slot in a roster; you see the bigger picture. We believe in taking responsibility, looking beyond your own station, and in a genuine “with-each-other” attitude. If you bring professional skill and a dry sense of humour (not essential), you’ll fit right in.

The "Miteinander" | How We Work

A good atmosphere can’t be staged. It’s either there, or it isn’t. 
At Hotel Lech, we live by a few un-gushy values:

„Ma hilft anand“

(We help each other): From the front desk to the dishwashing station, we pull on the same rope. If a colleague is underwater, we step in. No hierarchy games, no “not my job.”

Skill

We like people with character, edges and opinions - provided the craft is solid. We want pros who treat quality as a baseline so their minds stay free for the real work: authentic connection and shared laughter with our guests.

The Learning Curve

You don’t need to arrive perfect; you just need to be curious. In a family environment, you’ll often learn more in one winter season than in a year of corporate training.

The High-Season Pulse

And when the Arlberg turns white, the pace increases. It is fast, intense and exactly the kind of stories that stay with you for years, maybe even forever.

Specific Benefits

More than a Paycheck

Effort deserves appreciation. Working at 1,450 metres comes with its own advantages:

What Makes Working Here Distinctive?

A family business with history: We are not an anonymous corporate group. Our grandparents literally carved these buildings from the rock with their own hands. That spirit remains. You aren’t a number here; you are an essential part of the whole.

The Location: Lech am Arlberg is one of the most iconic alpine regions in the world. In winter, world-class powder and pistes. In summer, hiking trails and crystal-clear lakes. You live where others only dream of holidaying.

Intense & Unforgettable: Seasonal work at Arlberg isn't a 9-to-5. It is demanding and fast, but those are the seasons that forge the best memories.

Are You the One?

We are looking for teammates who see hospitality as an attitude, not just a shift. You should be someone who:

  • Treats quality as a standard, never an exception.
  • Keeps a cool head and an honest smile even when the house is humming at +100%.
  • Is ready to make a mark on the Wingelmayr story.
  • You know your craft and are reliable

Note: Solid experience is excellent, but character and a "get stuck in" spirit matter more than a three-page CV.

Application Process
  1. Send your application
    A message and your CV are enough. Tell us why this place feels right.
    Email: jobs@hotel-lech.at Or apply via our online form.
  2. Get to know each other
    If it fits, we arrange a conversation. In person, by phone or video.

  3. Contract
    Once confirmed, you receive a binding contract, all details for arrival, accommodation and everything else are going to follow.

Unique by Nature | Questions, Answered

The philosophy of working at Hotel Lech is rooted in the heritage of the Wingelmayr family. It is a house where every team member is more than a helping hand; each individual becomes an essential part of a story that began with Josef & Rosa carving these buildings from the rock. The working atmosphere is defined by a genuine together: a collaborative spirit where hierarchies are secondary to professional skill and a shared commitment to the Lech alpine lifestyle.

Success in Dorf 263 requires a specific attitude toward hospitality. It is a place for professionals who treat quality as a baseline, allowing their minds to remain free for authentic connection with guests. Whether navigating the high season pulse of the winter months or the scenic pace of the No-Snow Season, the pace is intense and the rewards are unforgettable. Candidates with character, solid craft, and a proactive spirit often find that a season at the Arlberg stays with them forever.

The practicalities of the role are designed to support a life lived where others holiday. With staff housing in the immediate vicinity of the Rüfikopf cable car, the commute is non-existent, leaving more time for powder runs, hiking the Lechweg, or exploring the nearby Arlberg mountains. It is a demanding environment that thrives on reliability and a dry sense of humour. The application process is purposefully uncomplicated: a CV and a brief message sent to the house are the first steps toward becoming a future legend in the Vorarlberg Alps.

Refining. For you.
Big things are underway.

A new website. A new logo. Fully refurbished rooms.
2026 is taking shape.

Things are being taken apart, drilled into, rebuilt. Then built again. And yes, even hung.
A complete revamp of nine rooms.

Oak floors. Underfloor heating. Colour.
Wingi’s design, with a touch of mischief.

Which also means the house remains unfortunately closed this summer.

We are, however, very much here. Always.
For bookings. For questions. For a lovely conversation, gladly. A phone call always works. Emails too.

As soon as the last craftsman has packed up and the snow settles and stays, the doors open again.
Most likely blissfully free of construction debris by then.
