Vorarlberg is the second smallest federal region of Austria but it still has plenty of attractions to offer. The land in front of the Arlberg has some of the most impressive landscapes of Europe. It is surrounded by the mighty mountain ranges of the Silvretta and Verwall including the Rätikon, the Lechtal and Allgäu Alps and the Bregenzerwald.
The region is almost entirely mountainous and enjoys one of the highest standards of living and income levels in Austria due to its proximity to Switzerland. It is also home to a Germanic alpine habitat, quite different from the rest of Austria making it a special place. The Vorarlbergers are a very proud and hardy people and they are keen to protect and preserve their identity and history.
From the vast plain of Lake Constance the landscapes lead on to an almost Mediterranean landscape in the Rheintal valley, along the shores of Lake Constance and over the forested mountains to the glacier-topped peaks of the Silvretta range. This is a place where man and nature become one, Voralberg is a symbol of human and natural harmony, and nature has left its mark here, not tourism. It is a well preserved wonder of nature.
Many top winter sports resorts are located throughout Vorarlberg. Most of them are organized in regional ticket groups and there is some very good skiing here.
