Summer


At the latest at spring, when the last snow remains melt, the summer season in the mountains is at start. The skis are stored into the cellars and the hiking boots are retrieved. The Arlberg region and the nature reserve Lechtal offer best conditions for small or extensive hiking tours. The best thing: you don’t have to drive. Just head out of the apartment, step outdoors and get right into nature.
