Lech, Austria

Alpine continental climate with cold, snowy winters (Dec-Mar) and mild summers (Jun-Aug) influenced by Lech's elevated position at 4,757 feet in the Arlberg region of the Austrian Alps, where northwestern exposure creates exceptional snow accumulation from Atlantic weather systems while surrounding peaks provide natural wind protection. The village's location in the Lech valley ensures reliable winter conditions for world-class skiing, spring brings dramatic snowmelt and wildflower displays, while summer temperatures remain comfortable due to elevation with occasional afternoon thunderstorms typical of high alpine regions.
