Whilst the mountains are still covered in a thick blanket of snow, the valleys and Lake Constance area usually welcome spring as early as mid-March. At this time, the sun becomes more intense and the first signs of spring (such as crocuses and cowslip) become increasingly numerous. Before you know it, the meadows in Vorarlberg’s Rheintal valley are in full bloom from the beginning of May. Birdsong also becomes more intense, as ever more migratory birds return from their winter holidays to the south. In particular, spring is the ideal time for dusting off the bike in the cellar and exploring springtime in Vorarlberg.
