Ski vacations Mellau - snow paradise with charm!

Mellau

At the foot of the Kanisfluh (2,044 m), one of the most impressive peaks in Bregenzerwald, Mallau (700 m) offers tons of variety for winter sports fans. The cosy resort south of Lake Constance offers both snow-sure pistes promising unforgettable skiing, as well as countless activities such as snow blading, snow shoe hiking or tobogganing. With more than 20 km of track, cross-country fans also get their money's worth. Voralberg's first single-track lift was put to use in 1973 in Mellau and is still in operation. Here you can experience a piece of history! Numerous restaurants and inns are waiting to spoil you with delicious specialities! Numerous cheese specialities such as cheese soup, "käsmus", "käsknöpfle" or "käsespätzle" are also at the fore, of course, homemade and served by the local cheese publicans.

Bregenzerwald

Between Lake Constance and the Arlberg, in the most western part of Austria, you can find the Bergenzerwald. The northern part is rather hilly, whilst towards the south the valley becomes narrow and the mountains become steeper. The Bergenzerwald is influenced strongly by its Swabian and Swiss neighbours and old traditions are still alive today. A good example of this is the "Cheese Street", an association of farmers, innkeepers, craftsmen and businesses, all combined in the traditional making of cheese. So don't forget to try the "Bergenzerwald Mountain Cheese". The region is however also popular for its snow security. Enjoy more than 506 km of piste and the lovely panoramic view of the Bergenzerwald!
