Tobogganing in Vorarlberg

Fun in the snow

Select from countless sledging tracks or toboggan runs located throughout the Vorarlberg holiday region. Some tracks are even floodlit or illuminated by torchlight. The longest such track is the 5.5-km-long night-sledging track in St. Gallenkirch-Garfrescha in Montafon. Before sledging down, it is important to gather your courage and strength at one of the mountain huts or inns near the sledging tracks. Those without a sledge can rent one at many places.

Special Tip: In the Brandnertal there is a toboggan safari, which allows you to enjoy the snowy landscape and breathtaking views during between the fast descents. It leads  from the top station of the Panoramabahn down to Bürserberg, back to the starting point by bus. On Tuesdays, an evening toboggan safari is organised, with participants sporting headlamps as they whizz down the trail. There is always a guide to accompany the party.

      Seen from Vorarlberg, the Kleinwalsertal is like an island. I too spent the last six months on an island. Where the mountains are in Kleinwalsertal, I saw the sea in Iceland. In search of points of contact of the two landscapes, I transferred the route from the parking lot near Hveragerði to Reykjadalur in South Iceland to the Kleinwalsertal.Los it is “parking lot” turn off the car right a vintage…

      Description

      Sitting in the chair lift, we watch the Ifen appear in the distance. From the Heuberg lift to the Bühlalpe the spruce and sycamore forest alternates with colorful flower meadows. This is why the trail is also called panorama trail: First we look towards the Kanzelwand, then into the Wildental and Gemsteltal and to parts of Mittelberg. Before we descend below the Bühlalpe and walk back to Mittelberg we are…
