Karrenkante, Dornbirn – a striking viewpoint high above Dornbirn with views over the Rhine Valley

Fallersee, Schnifis – an idyllic mountain lake nestled in the quiet landscape of the Walgau region
Buddhist Monastery, Feldkirch – a place for meditation and mindfulness
Üble Gorge – an impressive natural gorge with waterfalls and rock formations

These places complement a relaxing holiday in Vorarlberg, offering opportunities to combine relaxation, movement and time in nature.

A Wide Range of Activities Between Lake and Mountains

In addition to special places of energy, Vorarlberg offers a wide variety of opportunities to stay active. Walks along Lake Constance, numerous swimming spots in summer, well-developed cycling paths and hikes at different altitudes make the region diverse and easy to explore. Being active in nature promotes health, has a balancing effect and contributes significantly to overall well-being. In this combination, a stay in the Bodensee–Vorarlberg region provides an almost guaranteed basis for restorative and relaxing holiday days.
