Top 10 Things to do in Vorarlberg, Austrian Alps

June 15, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

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.

Reviewed By christian383 - Portschach am Worther See, Austria

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.

inatura – Erlebnis Naturschau

The Museum you can touch Nature, humans and technology. inatura museum in Dornbirn offers something for everyone, and does this in a particularly unusual way, because here touching is expressly encouraged. The main focus is on trying, playing, experiencing and understanding. The journey takes you through the different habitats that are characteristic of Vorarlberg: mountain, forest and water. In the final section of the museum, we go beyond the realms of possibility and in the truest sense of the word, go inside ourselves. inatura makes it possible to actually visit our bodies. Interactive and multimedia presentations demonstrate the exciting links between the life and interactive zones and provide an insight into the wonder of nature, people and their technical achievements. A fascinating experience. It is not surprising, therefore, that inatura is considered to be one of Europe's most modern natural history museums. In addition to our permanent exhibits, in the gallery in the entrance area we offer our visitors regularly-changing, interesting special exhibits on varying topics. Come on in and take a look. A visit to inatura always has something new to offer.

Amazing lookout! If you are passing by Bregenz, definitely recommend to stop for an hour or two , get up there and enjoy the fresh air. Up there you can see 3 countries in the same time, unique destination, of course if you have some more time , get your hiking shoes out and you can hike up. Because we did not had that much time we decided to take the ride up. Paid 33 euros for 3 adults, round trip. Not sure why everything was closed up there today, 26 Dec, maybe because it is Christmas, so you couldn’t have anything to drink or eat up there. Otherwise everything was fine. Enjoy

Bregenz Festival

Reviewed By passportlifestyles

Whether you are an opera fan or not this is a must-do! We have gone 4 times now and each time has been so impressive. The stage is just incredible and the setting couldn't be better. The opera starts when the sun is still out and you can enjoy the background of the Lake of Constance and the Alps. As the opera progresses the sun sets and with each stage of the sun setting brings upon a completely different feel to the setting and atmosphere. The opera gets repeated so I would recommend going every other year.

Reviewed By ShavyB - Roeselare, Belgium

Austria is known for its beautiful landscapes. In general, wherever you go, natures are everywhere! You can park the car near the Krippen museum, is paid parking, be sure your parking ticket is visible behind the windshield to avoid fines. The first part of the walk is a bit upwards, but the rest is flat. There are a few waterfalls to see during the hike. If nature is the purpose never missed this place if you are in the area — a highly recommended for the nature lover.
