Vorarlberg walks

The route involves climbing up to the lake and walking round it, with the option of continuing on to the Ravensburger Hütte (where food is available). The path climbs steeply through the forest, passing under a tarmac road: just after this, it emerges and the climb resumes immediately to the right, quite steeply. The slope levels out afterwards. As you approach the lake, after passing a fence, you’ll come to a farm: watch out for the herd of cows – there may be a young bull. Once you reach the lake, you can either take the track on the right and continue to the mountain hut, or return via the other side: there are several steep sections, but they’re safe.

This short and easy hike will take you to a picturesque covered bridge. In June, you will be able to walk through lush green meadows. You will also be able to see two covered crosses.

The winter hike on the Kesselschwand circular trail starts at the bus stop in Egg. Highlights include the natural bridge at the start of the hike and the covered Höfle Bridge over the Schwarzwasserbach stream.

A beautiful hike that starts in Austria in the Kleinwalsertal and ends in Germany, in the Allgäu, at the foot of the Fellhorn. The advantage of this route is that it allows you to reach the summit of the Kanzelwand without any significant elevation gain thanks to the use of cable cars.

A lovely walk from the Ifenbahn valley station over to Baad, featuring a challenging climb over the Ochsenhofer Scharte. Unfortunately, it can get a bit crowded on fine days, so it is advisable to set off from the Auenhütte by 9 am at the latest.
