VIP luxury on an Austrian ski weekend

Wednesday, 3 November 2010 3:30 PM

Treat yourself to pure luxury this year with the special three-day package at Hotel Aurelio Lech in Austria. This five-star couple’s package includes helicopter transfers and a five-course dinner.

Fly into Zurich or Munich airports and waste no time getting to the resort, with a private helicopter chartered to take you straight to the resort. You will stay in a luxury suite at the Hotel Aurelio Lech spa chalet complex.

In the evening, a five-course dinner at Aurelio’s will be laid on by internationally-acclaimed Chef Christian Rescher. The next day guests are picked up by their own private ski instructor to explore Lech’s slopes.

For those looking to relax, a massage at the award-winning Aurelio spa is available at the end of a long day on the pistes. At night you can enjoy a horse-drawn sleigh ride, before Aurelio’s special candlelit fondue dinner.

On the final day guests are invited to try out a new winter sports experience: ride a Segway scooter on snow and ice and explore the winter scenery in a whole new way.

Prices start at €4,000 (£3,480) per person, based on two sharing. For more information, visit: www.aureliolech.com
