Holidays in Vorarlberg

Dornbirn is considered the shopping city of Vorarlberg. The city center and Messepark are home to a wide variety of stores, boutiques and stores. The juxtaposition of old and new is exciting: modern Vorarlberg architecture blends harmoniously into a cityscape full of gardens and parks.

Located in the quadrangle between Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Germany, Dornbirn benefits from its proximity to the city, lake and mountains. A place that connects.

The best way to explore Vorarlberg is on foot. Get to know the region and its people on easy to moderately difficult hikes - and discover flora and fauna up close. If you want to feel the magic of nature, go step by step.

Vorarlberg combines an astonishing diversity in a small area: rolling hills, moors, forests - and right next to them the high mountains.

There are practical aids for preparation and orientation: the digital Vorarlberg hiking map describes hundreds of trails in detail. All routes can be printed out or downloaded - so that every path is clearly in front of you.

Wanderkarte Vorarlberg

The Lustenauer Hütte is located above Schwarzenberg. It can be reached on foot from the Älpele parking lot on the Bödele in around an hour. The Spechtweg trail leads in the direction of Hämmerlealp past a small moorland lake. Now it's not far until you reach an altitude of 1250 meters and the Lustenauer Hütte. Most hikers reward themselves with a Mohren beer or a sparkling apple juice. If you are hungry, you can enjoy a large schnitzel with salad or Älpler Rösti with bacon and mountain cheese au gratin. You can indulge in such delicacies Tuesday to Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm. There is a seasonal break in November and April.

Once a year, Lake Constance becomes a stage. The Bregenz Festival is known far beyond Vorarlberg - above all for its spectacular lake stage, the largest of its kind in the world. Opera classics are staged here in the open air, with bold stagecraft that combines water, light and music to create a unique experience.

If you want to experience culture in Vorarlberg, this is one of the highlights of the summer.
