Welcome to the
Bregenzerwald.

Alps. Architecture. Time out.

Old alpine dairy huts, modern timber buildings, and in between the scent of fresh wood and a view to the horizon. Alpine down-to-earthness meets a fine sense of design, no frills, but plenty of attitude. The Bregenzerwald is not a place for loud spectacle, but a place for quiet, genuine experiences.

Find your spot

Nature, the way it really is.

Wild, quiet, powerful: out here only the essentials count. Dense forests, clear streams and wide alpine pastures invite you to clear your head and simply breathe.

Culture

Between shingled roofs and exposed concrete, alphorn and avant-garde, you see what culture means here: old and new side by side, never shouting, always with substance. Workshops, festivals, architecture: all with character. All with depth.

Food & drink with provenance.

In the Bregenzerwald nothing lands on your plate by chance. People cook what grows here, and what they have known how to refine for generations. From tangy mountain cheese to fresh bread and clear schnapps from the distillery next door: what you taste here is landscape, craft and time.
