Destinations throughout the region

The culture of the Walser people left its mark on Warth and Schröcken. You can look forward to old customs and traditions, carefully maintained buildings, and natural beauty. These sightseeing destinations on the Arlberg will certainly inspire you:

  • Körbersee: One of Austria’s most beautiful places is located right in Schröcken. This powerful place with its idyllic lake, surrounded by imposing mountain giants, inspires you to stay just that little bit longer.
  • Glacier mill: The entire Warth-Schröcken area was once glaciated. The glacier mill evokes the memory of this period while demonstrating the force the water used to cleave through rock and stone.
  • Simmel: One of Europe’s very few world peace memorial crosses can be found directly on the Simmel. Below it is the ‘St. Jakobus’ Simmel chapel, a popular hiking and pilgrimage destination dating back to 1550.
  • Walserhus: Several buildings in Warth make the culture of the Walser people tangible. Though the Walserhus (‘Walser house’) from the 15th century can only be viewed from the outside, the carpentry is very impressive.
  • Alpmuseum uf'm Tannberg: A brief family hike  leads to this magnificent old building entirely dedicated to the farming life in the region from way back when.
  • Bürstegg: Another old Walser settlement people, abandoned in the early 20th century and now a popular hiking destination, seems wonderfully timeless. The small chapel evokes the spirit of days long gone.
  • Skyspace Lech: A brief trip to Lech am Arlberg reveals many additional beauties, including the Skyspace; this place almost blends heaven and earth together during sunset and sunrise thanks to the clever interaction of light and shadow.
  • Kästle Mountain Museum: This museum in Lech shows how the alpine skiing sport came to the Arlberg and made history, flanked by the many triumphs of the legendary ski manufacturer, Kästle.
