The charming Chalet Furka enjoys superb access to the skiing with the Zugerbahn chairlift only 100 metres (approx.) away. The chalet is located opposite the domed church in the tranquil hamlet of Zug, on the road from Lech. It is only 50 metres (approx.) to the bus stop for regular free buses, taking 5mins (approx.), to reach the exclusive resort of Lech. This service can be used by beginners to meet their ski lessons. The bus service currently runs until 3am (small charge in the evening) so that you can enjoy the atmosphere, tradition and sheer decadence of Lech town itself.

Chalet Furka is ideal for couples and families looking to enjoy the ambience of an attractive traditional Austrian guesthouse in an idyllic location with superb access to the skiing. Previously run as a small guesthouse, all rooms are tastefully decorated in a traditional Austrian style and have the added advantage of en suite facilities, TV, with many rooms having a balcony. As well as being able to relax in the sauna at the end of a great day on the slopes, at the entrance to the chalet is a small beauty salon perfect for some after-ski pampering!
