Bristling with beautiful lakes, splashing rivers, rugged peaks and looming castles, Vorarlberg is tucked between Switzerland and Germany. This spirited state is dotted with Bauhaus-inspired architecture, eco-friendly dwellings and tiny towns, bristling with spires. Capital Bregenz is the main draw in this alpine locale. Cobblestone streets and a lovely lakeside setting add to its charms. Renowned for its cheese and dairies, Vorarlberg is also a popular spot for skiing and other winter sports.

After a lovely drive through the villages of Brand and Innertal and an exhilarating ride on the Lunerseebahn you arrive on the shores of the Lunersee itself. The stunning scenery can be viewed at leisure sat outside the Douglas Hutte or enjoyed whilst travelling the very popular circular route around the lake. At almost 2000 meters high a gentle stroll is what most people prefer but for those of you after a little adventure there is the Schesaplana, the highest peak in the area at 2965 meters, with the popular Totalphutte halfway up. The views are to die for, which ever route you take and you just can't get enough of the fresh mountain air. You can quite easily spend a day here just wandering about.

The best skiing in the Alps and where alpine skiing was born. Something for everyone. Great pistes, great ski routes. Lech-Zürs is more suited for families, St. Anton for the younger crowd. Crowd is not really the word to use, as the pistes are very rarely overcrowded.Most of the lifts heave seat heating and the panorama is breath taking.

This is a cable car taking you to the top of the beautiful Pfänder mountain.

With the cable cabin you can get to middle station or to the top. It is around 20 minutes to the top and 1200 meters in altitude. Prices are not cheap. At the top you have a beautiful 360 degree panorama view from the diedamskopf at around 2090 meters. From the cable cabin to the top is a walk up of around 10 minutes. From there you can walk the panorama rundweg. We did this and along the way decided to also walk to to the top of Falzerkopf. It was a intense climb especially the last 100 meters, very steap and slippery. The view though and the satisfaction for reaching the top (and the fact not many people walk to this top) is worth every minute. From there we walked down to the middle station where we filled our belly before going down again. Note that in the summer you can also take the cable cabin on Thursday night for the sunside on the Diedamskopf.

We have been coming to this area since 2009 and the area keeps on improving. From the cable car station in Sankt Gallenkirch you can choose to go up two different mountains. The Valisera mountain with the beautiful Sonnenbahn (piste 30) (perfect for practicing your technique) and the long track down to the cable car (piste 20) or the Hochjoch mountain with the longest skitunnel of the world and the Nike fun and cross park. Enough fun for everyone!

If you want to enjoy skiing in this area with kids, go to Sonnenkopf. First, it is child friendly, even if your kid is not good in skiing. The ski carpet is just next to the cable car station so you don't have to walk a lot with your ski boots. There are also lots of easy but very nice slopes. And most importantly, it is sunny! Of course, it has some negative moments, such as queues at the ski lifts, nevertheless, we enjoyed skiing here very much (much more than at Montafon Silvretta!).
