Vorarlberg and the Arlberg

Eight days of lake light and high villages: Bregenz, Bregenzerwald, Lech, Flexenpass, St. Anton. Tesla in Bregenz; mountain lanes eat range. The Silvretta through-road from Partenen stays closed for rockfall works into the late 2020s — Bielerohe is reached from Galtur when that side is open.

Season: Arlberg tunnel year-round. Flexenpass can hold snow. Lech-Zurs road is ploughed in winter but steep. Confirm Silvretta Galtur access before you go.
