The imposing mountain massif is home to numerous athletic and leisurely tours for every taste, for every level and for all ages. AlpenParks Hotel & Apartment Arlberg, the prime location for unforgettable hiking on the Arlberg, is at the heart of it all.
Hiking in pristine nature
What’s today’s destination? You’ll find a wide selection of paths and tours around AlpenParks Hotel & Apartment Arlberg. The summer cable cars, such as the 4-seat chairlift in Warth-Arlberg, support your ascent and take you straight to hiking bliss. These tours are very much worth experiencing.
- Village paths: Short, beginner-friendly round tours lead through Warth (4.4 km) and Schröcken (3.6 km) to the most beautiful places of both villages, while giving you a closer introduction to the hiking region.
- Geiersberg Round Tour: About 400 metres of altitude along the Oberboden and Unterboden plots and the Bregenzerache for a leisurely 7.5 kilometre hike.
- Karhorn: Several short, pretty intense ascents make this 12.1 km hike quite tricky. The devil’s in the details, but the views are awe-inspiring.
- 3 Pass Tour: This medium-difficulty five-hour tour leads to the mountain passes Koblatpass, Gemstelpass and Hochalppass. Surefootedness is required.
- Wannenkopf Round Tour: ‘Only’ 5.3 km but almost constant ascending and a tricky descent make this two-hour hike into an unexpected challenge.
- Widderstein: Conquer more than 1,100 metres of altitude around the Widderstein in about six hours. Several high-alpine ascents should generally only be undertaken by hiking pros.
- Butzenseerundweg: Narrow paths, trickly climbs, slippery passages and increasingly sparse scenery accompany one of the region’s toughest tours. The view across the idyllic lake is worth the effort.
