The Arlberg region is one of the hiking and climbing hotspots in the Alps. Very close to the Goldener Berg there are numerous climbing tours with guides and superlative mountaineers. There are also 350 km of hiking routes waiting for you. So put your walking boots on, it’s time to head out!

Runners and Nordic walkers alike will notice the significant benefits to their fitness on the wonderful forest and meadow paths thanks to the altitude here.

An absolute must for keen hikers and mountain-lovers is the “Grüne Ring” (Green Ring). It almost follows the same route as the legendary “Weiße Ring” in winter, and is a round-trip that guests can walk in summer, enjoying the nature of the Arlberg region in all its facets. A series of stages leads via the Rüfikopf, Zürs, Zug, the Kriegerhorn and back to Oberlech, with everything that goes with it: the “Biwakschachtel” bivouac, “Walser Bibliothek” library, the giant on the Madloch, the “Sagenwald” forest of legends and the “Lecher Mauer”.

Perhaps you like the idea of an early morning tour up our local mountain, the Omeshorn. From the top, the views reach further into the Alps, with the Dolomites to the south, Switzerland's giants to the west, and the foothills of the Alps to the North.

Equally wonderful is the Gipslöcher nature conservation area, an easy route that can be enjoyed as an afternoon walk.

The mountain tour to the Göppingerhütte and up to the Älpele, via the Butzensee lake and the Braunarlspitze is not for the faint-hearted, a day's hike in a high Alpine environment.

Your host Daniela Pfefferkorn is a passionate climber and hiker herself and will happily share some insider tips with you. The hikers' bus (included on the Lech card) takes you back to the Goldener Berg.
