Tips for your Easter holiday
Easter on the slopes, strolling through Easter markets, the awakening of spring in the countryside and fantastic events
Whilst the mountains still have a wintry feel, spring has already arrived in the valley. During this transitional period, Vorarlberg’s varied altitudes offer a wealth of options for guests wishing to spend a few days here around Easter: activities range from skiing on sunny slopes and hiking through springtime landscapes to the first bike rides around Lake Constance and attending Easter cultural events.
Whilst skiing enthusiasts enjoy the slopes in the morning and the sun-drenched terraces in the afternoon, guests in the lower-lying regions are already enjoying hiking or cycling, sitting in cosy outdoor dining areas or visiting a colourful Easter market, one of the many exciting exhibitions or concerts.

07 Easter traditions
One of the best-known symbols of Easter is the Easter lamb. For thousands of years, the sheep has been regarded as a symbol of life, as it provides not only food (meat) and drink (milk, cheese) but also clothing (wool).
At Easter, chicken eggs are also boiled, dyed, decorated, hidden, hunted for and finally eaten. The tradition of dyeing eggs began in the Middle Ages.
Easter Bunny: There are many theories as to why the Easter Bunny, of all things, brings the eggs. In any case, the hare symbolises fertility, as hares have their young relatively early in the spring.
