Top 10 Things to do in Vorarlberg, Austria

January 10, 2018 Kandra Bartel

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.

Bregenz Festival

Reviewed By sc0ttrun - Cobourg, Ontario

To those who enjoy opera, this performance was incredible. Turns out I am not one of those who enjoy opera so much, but my 6 co-travellers quite enjoyed it.This venue in the open air runs except when lightning is imminent, so we donned ponchos and endured the pre-event rain and then terrarium like humidity within.
Be sure you are a true fan and aware of predicted weather before buying. These are not cheap tickets, and non refundable.

For winter sports enthusiasts the White Ring presents a sporting challenge with about 22 km of skiing pistes, 5,500 m of difference in altitude and a sightseeing tour with viewing platforms.

Have done this a few times and always try and do it again when in Lech. The new lifts over from St Anton make it possible to do this if staying there as well.
Highlights are always the views and also the ski routes - if your a normal on piste skier they can give you some good challenging moments but still pretty well groomed.
Low point is the polling ... some of the runs are dubiously connected!

Pfaenderbahn

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

Reviewed By Jo_Chen_Lah - Bregenz, Austria

The Pfaenderbahn (cable-car) in Bregenz near Lake Constanz takes you up a mountain called (have a guess..) yes - Pfaender.
Gives youan excellent view over Bregenz and surroudning
not too expensive, not too scray
avoid going there on a sunny summer sunday - you might get squashed between lazy folks not fit enough walking up the Mountains (as me hehe)

Wildpark Feldkirch

Reviewed By leahcar17 - Perth

It might not be a major tourist attraction but if you're in the area it's definitely a good place to visit. After a few days of rest and relaxation in the Mountains around Feldkirch, we wanted something to do and this was great. Not that easy to get to, but lovely to walk around and see all the animals :)

Ski Arlberg

Reviewed By Timinator2014 - Great Missenden, United Kingdom

I have visited Lech for many years and the skiing is superb with a snow-sure record due to the altitude and the charming village itself. There are a variety of ski areas, mostly suited to intermediates although for the expert and adventurous there is an enormous off-piste area which require a local guide. For me it is the perfect combination of good skiing, lovely setting and great hotels and shops all combining to make for a memorable holiday.

Pfander

Reviewed By CardiffMaddie - Cardiff, United Kingdom

A great way to see views across Bodensee and Bregenz. The hike up took about 2 hours and we caught the cable car down. The last car leaves the top at 7pm. Lovely shaded walk up, but a little slippery in places.

Lunersee

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain

Lünersee is a lake located in the Tyrol Mountains, in the west part of Austria. Here it is only possible going up with the Lünerseebahn (a cableway). In fact, when you arrive at the lake, you can see fantastic views of surroundings (really incredible!), walk around the lake, do very beautiful excursions, go to eat and drink to the hotel-restaurant, or only relax and enjoy with nature. You choose!
Pitifully, when we arrive (August-2016), it rained and it was cold, but we went to the restaurant, eat a soup and return to go a short walk.
