Liechtenstein
The Principality of Liechtenstein is one of the smallest countries in the world. The national territory covers just 160 km² and is located on the right bank of the Rhine between Austria and Switzerland. The most diverse landscapes lie close together in Liechtenstein in a very small area. The east and south-east of the country in particular enjoy an excellent reputation among hikers and mountain bikers. In winter, the region around Malbun attracts numerous winter sports enthusiasts to Liechtenstein.

Versatile Liechtenstein
It is only a few kilometers from the flat Rhine plain in the west with its small towns and villages to the high mountains of the Rätikon in the east and south. In between, however, there is plenty to discover. For example, Liechtenstein's landmark, Vaduz Castle. It is situated on a hill around 120 m above the capital Vaduz and is the seat of the Princely Family, who are still the head of state of this small country today. Numerous museums, exhibitions and events in all eleven municipalities allow visitors to immerse themselves in Liechtenstein's rich history and cultural diversity.
Winter paradise Malbun
The latter offers its visitors many easy and moderately difficult slopes, making it particularly suitable for beginners and children. The family-friendly atmosphere has also been rewarded with the "Families Welcome" seal of approval. Nevertheless, other guests are not neglected. The ski area is also equipped with a fun park for freeriders and snowboarders and there are more difficult routes for advanced skiers. Relaxed breaks in the winter sun are also well catered for with various places to stop for refreshments.

High up in the Liechtenstein mountains
Nature lovers will find vast meadows and vineyards in the Rhine plain, which are ideal for leisurely hiking tours. However, the Principality of Liechtenstein shows its most beautiful side in its mountains. Hikers here can not only admire the rugged cliffs of the Alps and the diversity of flora and fauna, but also enjoy particularly beautiful panoramic views as far as Switzerland and Austria.
Hiking on the Liechtenstein Panorama Trail
According to legend, the striking peaks of the "Three Sisters" mountain range were formed when the sisters did not go to church on Sundays, but instead went berry picking and were petrified as punishment. A mountain trail leads up to the three rocky peaks, which was opened in 1898. It is part of the Liechtenstein Panorama Trail, which leads in three daily stages from south to north through the most beautiful corners of the Principality.

If you get hungry after a hike through the Liechtenstein Alps, you can also look forward to culinary highlights. Whether in a cozy mountain hut or in a particularly stylish Michelin-starred restaurant in the valley - there is something for every taste. You should definitely try Käsknöpfle with apple sauce, a Liechtenstein specialty, and the local wine. The mild Föhn climate in the Rhine Valley is particularly suitable for growing wine.
