The weather in Vorarlberg is determined by the high mountain chains and Lake Constance, whose function as a heat reservoir is responsible for the mild climate. Its location, surrounded by high mountain crests, means that it can be dangerous for water sportspeople since surprisingly high waves are not infrequent.

The mountains provide warm fall winds which are felt by many. One peculiarity has been repeating itself for centuries: about every 70 years, Lake Constance freezes over so that it is possible to walk cross it. The last “Seegfrörne”, as it is known, was in the winter of 1962-63.

The summer is perfect with its cloudless summer days, mild evenings and fantastic sunsets. What more could you want? High humidity and heat give the shores of the lake a Mediterranean flair. It is easy to escape the heat though – the surrounding mountains offer coolness and great views, and the valley is frequently treated to a pleasant breeze in the form of onshore winds.
