A warm welcome to Tschengla!

Built in 1987, this self-catering cabin is situated at a mid-mountain elevation (1,198 m) on the Tschengla sun terrace above Bürserberg near Bludenz in Vorarlberg. There’s plenty of space right next to the cabin for all kinds of games. In the summer, the beautiful location offers numerous hiking opportunities (Mondspitze: 3 hours; Schillerkopf: 3–4 hours). Ridge hikes and various loop trails. Since 2015, a “bike park” with three different difficulty levels has been available for “downhill enthusiasts.” http://www.bikepark-brandnertal.at/ In winter, skiers have access to a chairlift (Einhornbahn from Bürserberg to Tschengla) as well as chairlifts and T-bar lifts— http://www.vorarlberg-alpenregion.at/brandnertal/bergbahnen/ (about 10 minutes from the house), as well as the ski area in Brand and an extensive network of cross-country trails. Several restaurants are located in the immediate vicinity. You can also purchase local products such as milk, eggs, and cheese directly from the producers.

The Schwabenhaus is particularly well-suited for groups and families with children.

Our cabin is part of the “Mit Kindern auf Hütten” campaign, an initiative by the Alpine Clubs in Germany, Austria, and South Tyrol promoting family-friendly cabins. It is suitable for children of all ages, including infants. Our activity areas for children: Adventure Trail, Bike Park, wading pool, stone circles, barbecue area, and playground next to the lodge.

Reservations are accepted exclusively through the section’s office.
