8 Day trips - Urlaub am Bodensee | Bregenz - Dornbirn

Alpenregion Vorarlberg

From the town of Bludenz, the region of the Alps extends over three valleys and includes the biosphere park of the Großes Walsertal. Klostertal, Walgau, Brandnertal – they are all home to mountains, glaciers, forests, mountain lakes and rivers. Lünersee at the foot of the Schesaplana, at an altitude of 1,970 m, lies like a transparent, blue gem in the beautiful countryside. At 2,965 m, the Schesaplana is the highest mountain in the Rätikon, with the history of the Rhaetians reflected in the nomenclature of many places. Hundreds of kilometres of hiking paths, ski lifts, a golf course, summer meadows and farms present themselves at their best.

Switzerland/Lake Constance

The Swiss side of Lake Constance has a flair all of its own: gently rising hills lead to the Swiss mountains, home to unspoilt villages and fantastic mountain roads. Life in the countryside is lively and genuine at the same time, the mountains are imposing and the quality of life is high.

Kleinwalsertal

The Walsertal was a duty-free zone for a long time, yet it has lost this status since the establishment of the EU. The region is characterised especially by the diverse nature of the skiing region – from the nursery slopes through to the alpine runs for the experienced. Rest and relaxation, sporting activities or family holidays – the plethora of opportunities which await you ensure that many guests soon become regulars. A glance in the “Walser Gipfelbuch” online shows you why it is set to stay this way.

Lech-Zürs am Arlberg

The world-famous winter skiing resort which, despite vast skiing areas, star-bearing hotels and high society guests, has maintained its original charm. It offers a discerning range of cultural offerings far from the events culture and party zones. The region is an insider tip for summer guests who are increasingly discovering that the hiking routes and spectacles or nature are particularly charming in the summer – something the skiing enthusiasts are completely unaware of. In the autumn, the Philosophicum attracts a certain clientele to the idyllic town, turning it into the focal point of the philosophical contemplation on society.

Germany/Lake Constance

Along the German side of Lake Constance history, art and culture meet beautiful sceneries, always with a view of the vastness of the lake. It is a farming region for fruit and vegetables, it has sunny slopes with grapevines and baroque cultural monuments from an eventful past, it is a region full of delights and enjoyment.

Liechtenstein/Lake Constance

The small nation of Liechtenstein, located between Vorarlberg and Switzerland, is 160 km². The principality is a multi-facetted country it is easy to navigate.

Bregenzerwald

Tradition and design, wooden structures and architecture, rural life and internationally acclaimed craftsmanship come together harmoniously in the region of the Bregenzerwald. A great deal has already been written about alpine cheese from the Bregenzerwald, so we won’t expound. The best thing to do is to try it for yourself. On your walk to the village alpine dairy, don’t forget to take a detour to the Werkraumhaus in Andelsbuch, and to the Women’s Museum in Hittisau. Both institutions can slightly change your impression of the world, and wouldn’t that be a good thing?

Montafon

The Montafon is surrounded by two imposing mountain ranges – the Silvrettamassiv with the Piz Buin (3,312 m), which towers above everything else around it, and the Rätikon with its glacier slopes. The Silvretta alpine road is known as the “Dream road of the Alps” and travelling it is an unforgettable experience, not just for motorcyclists. People started settling in the – then undoubtedly inhospitable – region 5,000 years ago. Today, 61 cable cars, over 1,100 km of marked hiking paths and an adequate amount of hotel beds open up the region.
