Deeply carved into the heart of the Rätikon range, the Bürs Gorge showcases its largely untouched natural diversity. Over millennia, the wild waters of the Alvierbach stream shaped this breathtaking landscape, leaving behind several geological features that we can still admire today.

Bürs Gorge Trail

Highlight • Gorge

The Bürser Gorge was formed by the interplay of water and ice after the retreat of the glaciers about 10,000 years ago. The Alvierbach stream created a spectacular, almost jungle-like landscape with moss-covered rocks and a rich flora.

Larch meadow – beautiful clearing

Highlight • Natural

Here, the dense forest reveals a lush green clearing. If you're particularly quiet and patient, especially in the morning and evening, you're likely to see deer scampering across the meadow.

After I was a bit haphazard this morning 🙈 packed my backpack for cycling and a short hike and cycled towards Bludenz.
After a long period of thought (enough time to pedal) 🤣 I chose the Bürser Gorge 👍.

May 21, 2023,Bürser Schlucht- Wasserfreude am Alvierbach

Shortly before you turn off into the Brandnertal, you cross the village of Bürs. It nestles close to the steep rock faces that rise up to the Bürserberg. The Alvierbach has created a beautiful gorge here, which is very well developed for tourism (that's why you don't walk alone here on nice days) and includes a few other geological features …

November 1, 2022,Bürser Schlucht 🇦🇹

The first day of November greeted us with befitting clouds and significantly cooler temperatures than the last few days. So today we decided to run a little round in the valley and follow the course of the Alvierbach through the Bürser gorge. The Alvier rises near Lake Lüner, flows through the village of Brand, then falls into the Bürser Gorge …

I recommend completing the tour even in dry weather, wearing sturdy footwear and, if possible, hiking poles for stability and support on the sometimes uneven paths and stairs.
The tour begins on the outskirts of Bürs. Information panels along the route highlight the geological features.

Following the tip of our landlady that the Bürserschlucht can be accessed safely and safely despite the official closure, we set out to explore the same in more detail at noon today. We started on a small parking space on the road to Bürserberg and the path first led us all the way down into the valley to Bürs and …

Spectacular gorge hike near Bürs. Even though it was a Monday, there were a few groups, and you weren't alone. It can get quite crowded on weekends.
But if you look at the pictures, you'll understand.

Today, during the dry hours, we first got rain-proof hiking trousers for the youngsters in order to test them for their suitability immediately afterwards. It doesn't make any sense the other way around, does it?

In any case, the first rain set in just in time for the start of the tour, but then retreated again, so that we were …
