The exclusive Spa at Hotel Aurelio Lech re-opened on 4th December with an array of treatments, alongside what are considered the some of the best spa facilities in Austria. Banish those winter blues with a vibrant, eclectic combination of Alpine herbs and Caribbean fruit, caviar and diamonds. The beautifully designed 1000 m2 wellness area of the five-star hotel creates a perfect ambience for calming body and soul, surrounded by a winter wonderland.

All-new Treatments Aurelio Spa has a new, innovative treatment list for its guests this season. On offer are traditional facials, body massages and partner treatments; as well as unique treatments like caviar compressions and diamond facials.

The highly-trained team at Aurelio Spa use only the finest product lines from the acclaimed Ligne St. Barth and Valmont spa brands. The products of the Valmont series consist of extracts of alpine herbs and pure glacier water from the Walisian Alps (producing results that celebrities swear by). The Signature treatments are the Diamond Peel, a combination of fruit and micro-abrasion, with a diamond-topped tool leaving skin smooth and fresh (duration: 110 minutes; price: �230), and the Caviar compression using essential oils, in combination with caviar, to stimulate circulation and tightening of the skin (duration: 45 minutes; price: �65).

The applications of the St. Barth product line bring a breeze of the Caribbean to Lech. Active and nurturing agents of exotic plants, flowers and fruits allow guests to indulge in a world of Caribbean wellness. The signature treatment, the �St. Barth Freshness�, is a facial and d�colletage treatment including a hand massage, using papaya and pineapple or cucumber mousse. A nurturing hand massage with the essence of bourbon vanilla, beautiful lilies or the Caribbean tiar� flower, complete the relaxing experience (duration: 90 minutes; price: �153).

Also brand-new this season is the �Hits for Teens� spa program, designed especially for the needs of younger guests, including applications of the St. Barth Homme line with nurturing substances for male skin. Skiers will particularly enjoy the �Ski massage�. This stress-relieving full body massage, including head and foot reflexology, using stimulating menthol and eucalyptus oils, expels the exertions of an exhausting day on the slopes (duration: 50 minutes; price: �85).

The Arlberg region (of which Lech is a part of), is considered one of Europe�s premier ski and snowboard resorts, renowned for its snowfall and vast ski area. The key difference is that Lech has a strictly enforced limit on the number of ski passes issued each day to prevent overcrowding, (however everyone staying in the village of Lech has a guaranteed pass for the duration of their stay).

In addition to skiing and snowboarding, the concierge team at the Hotel can arrange additional activities like Nordic walking, tobogganing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice-skating, snowshoeing, paragliding, amongst others.
