Bregenzerwald: Frequently Asked Questions
How much trail is there?
Vorarlberg counts 320 km in total, and within that the Bregenzerwald holds the largest blocks at Hittisau-Balderschwang (80 km), Au-Schoppernau (63 km) and Sulzberg-Oberreute (40 km).
Is it one big network?
No. Bregenzerwald is a set of village-based trail areas, so a car or bus transfer is normally needed to ski a different area each day.
Who is it best for?
Bregenzerwald suits skiers arriving from Lake Constance or southern Germany who want shorter transfers and less crowded trails than the Tyrolean plateaus.
Do any trails cross into Germany?
Yes. The Hittisau-Balderschwang area of Bregenzerwald continues over the border into Bavaria, so conditions can differ along one 80 km network.
How does it compare with Seefeld?
Bregenzerwald cannot match the 245 km connected network in Seefeld, and its appeal is lower trail traffic and a spread of smaller areas.
