Vorarlberg

The desire to move

What does Lake Constance look like from above and how far can you see over the Alps? If you want to enjoy beautiful views, climb one of the numerous panoramic mountains. On foot, by bike or by train. Vorarlberg's amazing variety of nature and landscapes is optimally developed with paths for hiking enthusiasts and cyclists. In winter, skiing and cross-country skiing are very popular. Winter hikers enjoy the wonderful peace and quiet. Ski tourers and snowshoe hikers make their own tracks. Whether summer or winter: "Respect your limits" is the motto in terms of nature and animal protection.

Play areas

During the day a visit to a museum, in the evening to the opera, a concert or the theater: the cultural program is remarkably diverse and top-class. From the Bregenz Festival to the Schubertiade in Schwarzenberg and Hohenems to cultural picnics in the countryside, the musical spectrum is wide. Among the best-known museums in the region are the Kunsthaus Bregenz (KUB), specializing in contemporary art, the vorarlberg museum in Bregenz, the interactive nature show inatura with Science Center in Dornbirn, the Jewish Museum in Hohenems and the Women's Museum in Hittisau in the Bregenzerwald.
