Highest Heights

Mountain hiking - Liechtenstein

The Princely Trail (Fürstensteig), Philosopher’s Path (Philosophenweg), Three Sisters (Drei Schwestern). Or from Gaflei to Silum. Whether you want to smell the mountain air only at altitudes higher than 2,300 m/7,500 ft above sea level, or at a few hundred meters/feet lower, you can hike through Liechtenstein at many different altitudes. Collectors of peaks, mountain climbers and easygoing wanderers, in Liechtenstein they all find an endless choice of heights and hiking paths.

At 1,300 m/4,265 ft above sea level, benefits set in as though at a health resort, brought about merely by breathing air that purifies body and soul. You are usually very close to this realm on ridge paths, mountain trails and mountain climbs. But even the people hiking our valleys claim that the air is more aromatic on the trails crisscrossing Liechtenstein than anywhere else.

Bicycling - Liechtenstein

On a mountain bike you can explore the fascinating world of the mountains on numerous trails. Setting out early in the morning, you can reach nearly every destination by noon. A gratifying arrival on one of the many Alps is your reward for all the effort. With every added foot of altitude, the chance increases of reaching vistas nobody else will find. Families enjoy bicycling on the 90 km/56 miles of marked bicycle trails crisscrossing the valley plain on both sides of the Rhine River. Here, even the tiniest tots have no trouble keeping up.
