Holiday in Vorarlberg

About Vorarlberg

Vorarlberg, Austria's westernmost and smallest federal state, surprises with a fascinating mix of alpine natural beauty, contemporary architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene. The Bregenz Festival, where a spectacular floating stage is erected on Lake Constance every summer, is one of the most significant cultural festivals in Europe. Up to 7,000 spectators experience opera and music performances against the unique backdrop of the lake and the Swiss Alps — a cultural experience that is unmatched worldwide. The Bregenzerwald, just a few kilometers from the state capital, uniquely combines traditional wooden construction with modern architecture. The Werkraumhaus exhibition in Andelsbuch shows how contemporary design and craftsmanship tradition merge. The Cheese Road leads through 22 dairies, where mountain cheese, alpine cheese, and the spicy Vorarlberger Sura Kees are produced according to ancient traditions — a paradise for gourmets. At Arlberg, the cradle of alpine skiing, world-class ski resorts like Lech, Zürs, and Stuben, together with St. Anton, form the largest contiguous ski area in Austria. Over 300 kilometers of slopes, legendary powder snow, and elegant huts make Arlberg a dream destination for winter sports enthusiasts. In summer, the slopes transform into a hiking paradise with panoramic trails like the Grünen Ring or the Lechweg. The Montafon Valley in the south impresses with the Silvretta High Alpine Road and Piz Buin, Vorarlberg's highest peak at 3,312 meters. On Lake Constance, Bregenz and the island town of Lindau invite you to stroll, while cyclists enjoy the Lake Constance Cycle Path. Vorarlberg proves that great experiences do not always require great distances — everything is close together here.
