Schönenbach alpine pasture settlement

Highlight • Settlement

The Schönenbach settlement in the Bregenzerwald
Schönenbach is considered the most beautiful settlement in the Bregenzerwald.
Picturesque impressions in Schönenbach
Whether in summer or winter, on foot, by mountain bike or on cross-country skis: you're happy to head to Schönenbach. The Vorsäß settlement is situated in a very picturesque location on a wide, around 1,000 meter high valley floor. Wooden huts dominate the picture. Farmers and dairymen spend the early summer and autumn here while their cows graze the alpine pastures. People also go to Schönenbach because they have particularly good cheese knöpfle here. These are eaten in a harmonious atmosphere in the Egender hunting inn.

Schönenbach Vorsäß Settlement

Highlight • Settlement

Schoenenbach in summer
The mountain pasture settlement of Schönenbach can be reached on several hiking trails. Starting points for longer hikes are Bezau, Bizau, Sibratsgfäll and Egg-Schetteregg. The valley floor can be explored on a leisurely circular hiking trail. A very scenic, not too demanding mountain bike tour leads from Sibratsgfäll to Schönenbach. It takes about two hours there and back. Schönenbach is also a destination for those who are interested in caves. Near the mountain pasture settlement is the "Schneckenlochhöhle", which is only accessible with guided tours.
Tip: In the summer months, a bus runs several times a day from Bezau and Bizau to Schönenbach. Holders of the Bregenzerwald & Großes Walsertal guest card can use the bus free of charge. The settlement can also be reached by car on the toll road from Bizau.
