    A gentle walk with lovely views in Hittisau.

    With over 100 alps – making it the village with the most alps in Austria! – Hittisau has a long tradition in the art of alpine dairy farming, and was one of the first centres for full-fat cheese making in Vorarlberg. The route takes you right past the Alpine Dairy Farming Museum in Hittisau. Also worth a visit are the Women’s Museum in Hittisau and the objects on the “Wood + Culture” trail.

    From the centre of the village (790 m), you follow a flattened hiking path along the cross-country ski run until you reach the Brand plot of land. Cross the road, where a path takes you up to Bütscheln (860 m). Via scenic hillside locations, you follow a flattened winter hiking path to the part of the village called Korlen. From here, take in the lovely views of Hittisau as you return to the starting point.
