Family vacation vorarlberg with children

What to do in Vorarlberg with children?
The small state of Vorarlberg is located in the very west of Austria. The mountains are high, the lakes are often of drinking water quality and there are many leisure activities for families on a family vacation. We tried it out! Those who like to go hiking with children on vacation will find many family-friendly hiking trails. You can also hike with a pram in Vorarlberg. In some cases, family-friendly hikes with cable car support are possible. There are also play areas and excursions with children on some mountains!

But there is also a lot to do for enterprising families on a family vacation in Vorarlberg beyond hiking: Lake Constance excursions by boat, nostalgic train trips, discovery tours through museums. Entertaining and informative organize many places: from adventure on the pasture to visits to herb gardens and alpine pastures to climbing courses on family holidays in Austria.

Family vacation Vorarlberg: Kleinwalsertal

Kleinwalsertal with children

From Germany you can drive directly across the Allgäu into the Kleinwalsertal. The beautiful mountain valley belongs to Vorarlberg (Austria) but can only be reached by car from Germany. And it’s so beautiful there. We were extremely beautiful hiking here! You can take easy valley hikes or hike to the alpine pastures and huts. And then there are the excursion destinations on the mountain that you can comfortably reach with the mountain railway! Cool is the ball track on Söllereck, which we combined with a family hike. Here are our Kleinwalsertal tips:

Family hotel Vorarlberg

Rosenhof family hotel Vorarlberg

The Rosenhof in Kleinwalsertal is particularly recommended as a family hotel in Vorarlberg. We were there with the children in the summer and really enjoyed the great mountain scenery. This family hotel includes many extra services in addition to the children’s program with childcare. We felt really comfortable and the children can climb in a tree – seen in the film. Just see for yourself what you would like:

Family vacation Vorarlberg: The Golm

If you want to travel with children from the area around Lake Constance or from Tyrol to Vorarlberg, the Montafon with the Golm is my tip. We have been here in summer and winter. In the winter months, the Golm is a family ski area, in summer a real top-class leisure paradise:

Hike on the Golm on a family holiday in Vorarlberg with children

1. You can use the cable car in the classic way for hiking. Take the Golmbahn up and hike on Golmi’s exploratory path. An exciting themed path on the mountain that makes hiking entertaining for children.

2. Then you slide down the rest of the way down to the middle station in long slides. 7 large slides, up to 62 meters long, shorten the way down to the valley. It’s so much fun!

-> see here the own article from the slide park on the Golm.

Leisure fun on the Golm on the up to 62 meter long slides in the slide park

3. If the slides have still not released enough adrenaline, you can slide down the rest of the route on the summer toboggan run from the middle station. The fast coaster is 2.6 kilometers long! I also have a video of the trip.

4. And if you are a fan of simple panoramic hikes, take the Golmbahn up to hike to the Lindauer Hütte. It lies below the famous Three Towers – the photo motif in the Montafon.

Family vacation Vorarlberg: Lünersee

Our trip with children to Lünersee Vorarlberg
In Vorarlberg, Lünersee is at the back of the Brandnertal. We had a great day up there with children! First take the gondola comfortably up to the lake and then hike on the circular route around the Lünersee. This tour even goes with a stroller!
