Bregenzerwald in Vorarlberg
The Bregenzerwald is the perfect holiday region in any season for families, culture-lovers, hikers, sportsmen and women and gourmets. But above all it is a haven for anyone seeking peace and relaxation off the beaten track in dreamy landscapes.
In summer the attractions include more than 2,000 kilometres of waymarked hiking trails through the forest, numerous golf courses and a host of Alpine dairies that welcome visitors, while in winter the scenery is transformed into fabulous ski pistes.
Gourmets relish Bregenzerwald cheese varieties and hedonists in search of pampering and relaxation head for the wellness facilities at small but perfect spa hotels. Treats include everything from exotic aromatherapy to traditional saunas.

Austria's topographic diversity accounts for a great variety of wildlife, including endemic species that are under preservation. It has a predominantly Central European fauna and is one of Europe's most heavily wooded countries.
