Reviewed 25 August The official estimated time for walking it is 4 hours and 40 minutes. The first is the fifth of the stations I mentioned earlier. The hut has some tables out so you can have a drink and some cheese there if you like. This is a proper hotel with a restaurant and a large terrace where you can get all kinds of typical Austrian dishes as well as small snacks, dessert, and drinks. I enjoyed a lovely salad and a coffee here. I started hiking around 9. You definitely need good hiking boots for this trail, but the path is pretty decent everywhere.
Yes, do look out for the works of art and if you understand German, you can scan the QR codes by each of them for some additional information, but mostly look around you. When I started in the morning, it was pretty foggy and a haze drifted over the mountainsides below and above me. Suddenly there was a herd of horses, quietly grazing next to the path. Yes, you will come across cows and maybe even horses along this walk. The easiest way to start the AlpkulTour trail is to drive to the Latschau cable car station Latschaustrasse 62, Tschagguns and take the cable car up.
What you do is this: Walk a bit up until you reach the point with the direction signs where the path splits in two. Take the path to the left. When I arrived in the morning there was still ample space, but when I got back around 2 p. The Golmerbahn is the cable car consisting of different parts. It operates throughout the day, but opening times do depend on the season. Check here for up-to-date opening times. I spent a night at the 3-star family-run Hotel Zimba in the town of Schruns, less than 15 minutes from the Latschau cable car station.
Check out my room tour here:. After a day of hiking and exploring, guests can use the wellness area with sauna, solarium and indoor pool. Bathrobes, slippers, and towels are provided.

On my third day in Vorarlberg, I was supposed to do a culinary hike in the Grosses Walsertal, a biosphere park, but it was gray and raining. So instead, I made a few stops on my way to Lech, where I would spend the night.
It has a tiny Milka museum and a Milka shop where you can buy all kinds of Milka chocolate. Before you get into the store part, you pass through a very small exhibition with all kinds of Milka attributes, such as the famous Milka chocolate cow. When I visited Bludenz, I was actually just too late as each year at the beginning of July, the town hosts a proper Milka fest.
If I recall correctly, it was all in German, but there were plenty of visuals as well. From the parking lot, you just follow the path upward along the water until you reach Alpengasthof Bad Rothenbrunnen. The Alpenhof lies on a spot where several trails come together, so you can always visit it as part of a bigger hike as well. Drive to Sonntag and there, turn right in the direction of Buchboden. You drive along a small river and through the woods until you stop at the parking. From there it is a 15 minutes walk along the waterfall until you reach the Alpengasthof — much shorter than the waterfall hike in Zillertal I once went on.
The Propstei has its own vegetable garden and beyond that, you can go for a walk at the large domain. Inside the main building, a maintained room shows how the monks used to live there. The tiny library is worth a look as well and on the ground floor, exhibitions often take place. Lech is mostly known as an exclusive ski resort. The famous White Ring ski route, for example, turns into the Green Ring in summer, offering hikers three full days of trails covering a little over 24 kilometers.
The Lünersee, once one of the largest natural mountain lakes in the Eastern Alps, is 1, m above sea level. It is located at the end of Brandnertal, but belongs to the Vandans municipality in the Montafon. The Lünersee is the starting point for many hikes, including that up to.

And then there are the gypsum holes, an ancient natural phenomenon plain in sight, yet so easy to miss. The gypsum holes are a natural phenomenon going back million years. At that time, what is now the Oberlech region was located much closer to the equator and its landscape was dotted with small lagoons. When these lagoons flooded and the water later evaporated again because of the heat, sulfates such as gypsum were released. This collision created the Alps and also pushed the former lagoons up to be part of the mountain ranges.
Still today, the gypsum holes evolving.
I had the pleasure of being taken for a hike by the lovely Annalisa, who just radiated love for the area. She told me all about the plants and flowers we saw, the history of the first settlements there and — of course — how the gypsum holes came to be. Even though it was drizzling and grey, it was impossible not to get excited with this woman by my side. Plus, look at that landscape! There are different routes you can take to see the holes.
We went up a bit and hiked toward hut Der Wolf. Der Wolf is anything but your classic mountain hut. While its sleek wooden exterior fits perfectly into its surroundings, it stands out because of its modern interior, trendy music and the DJ sessions it hosts in the winter season. One of the things that makes Lech a bit exclusive, is the fine cuisine offered in many of the hotels.
Probably more famous than any other is the kitchen of the Burgvital Resort run by chef Thorsten Probost. Thorsten is known for working not only with local products but also for extensively using the herbs he finds just outside his door. Guest who stay at the Burgvital for wellness reasons, get their own herbal tea composition to suit their complaints, or they can join Thorsten on one of his many walks.
Or that most common medicine, like aspirin, can be found right there on the greenlands of Lech in their natural shape. He picked up one little plant after the other, telling us what it could be used for and how it should be prepared.
The man is like a walking encyclopedia and he learned all he knows from Lady Lucian, who founded both the Burgvital Resort and the Burg Hotel — also in Oberlech — together with her husband. I wish I could have retained it all, but it was just so much information. The card gives you free use of the cable cars in Lech and Warth and of the village bus. It also allows you to participate in a wide range of activities, like themed hikes, for free and gives you access to museums and other places of interest.
I enjoyed a big room, a lovely dinner and quite the breakfast buffet pancakes! Treatments can be booked as an extra. Ranked 1 of 6 things to do in Brand. Attraction details Recommended length of visit: More than 3 hours.

In the distance, I could see the waterfall and I knew I had to cross that at some point to then go down again on the other side of it. The hotel has good SPA facilities and offers a traditional ambiance of an Austrian chalet with antique artefacts.
