Kleinwalsertal Tourismus eGen Verified partner 

The Kleinwalsertal was settled around 1270 by Walsers, an ethnic group who immigrated from the upper Valais (Switzerland). The dialect is still quite well preserved and differs significantly from its neighbors in Vorarlberg and Allgäu.

With around 5,000 inhabitants, the valley is divided into 4 villages: Riezlern, Hirschegg, Mittelberg and Baad. The Kleinwalsertal extends over an area of 97 km². It is approx. 15 km long and approx. 6.5 km wide.

Kleinwalsertal - The most beautiful cul-de-sac in the world!

In fact, there is only one way over the Walserschanz that leads into our wonderful valley. At the same time, no other Austrian high mountain valley is as easily accessible from Germany as the Kleinwalsertal. No matter what time of year - it is worth exploring this insider tip in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg: in winter it dresses like a winter fairy tale, is a snow hole and a popular ski area. In summer, mountain lovers can enjoy "hiking without borders" between Germany and Austria. Natural wonders such as the Gottesacker plateau, the natural bridge or the Breitachklamm then unfold their full beauty. Experience the Walser culture, taste the pleasure region and let yourself be inspired by the hospitality of the Walser people!
