The Yurt: Kyrgyz Nomad Tent Experience | Lech Zürs

Things are happening in Lech. When Zayad Shah's Kyrgyz nomad tent visits Lech – this year for the sixt time starting December 5th – Arlberg guests have a different idea of what a living room should offer.

So far at The Yurt: Sometimes guests feel so comfortable in the handcrafted, Kyrgyz yurt that they come not just for one evening of their vacation week, but several times. However, it can also happen that music-loving guests – wisely after the host releases the speakers – link up and play their private playlist. This is clearly the exception, but the English guest DJ, who recently did this on two consecutive days, called The Yurt his favorite living room in the world for good reason.

Just don´t call the yurt an igloo

It might have something to do with the fact that "there's an igloo like no other in the entire Arlberg region," as was recommended to a German couple. They open the wooden door, tilt their heads slightly to enter the brightly varnished willow dome, which is larger than it appears from the outside, and see people in T-shirts. It's pleasantly warm, the Japanese Roku Gin mixes with the excellent tonic from Le Tribute. Before you know it, and the other spirits from the Japanese "House of Suntory" have been awakened (Toki Whiskey or Haku Vodka), the time spent is a good one. The German couple felt the same way when they returned with the rest of their family, from their 20-year-old grandchildren to their 80-year-old grandparents.
