Bludenz

Bludenz lies along the Ill River where the Walgau, Montafon and Klostertal valleys meet, with the Rätikon and Verwall mountain groups defining its Alpine surroundings. The compact historic centre recalls the town’s role as a regional market settlement; Bludenz received town rights in 1265 from the Counts of Werdenberg. Rail and road routes have long connected the Rhine Valley with Tyrol and Graubünden, making the town an established base for exploring several Vorarlberg valleys. Bludenz is also associated with chocolate production: its factory, founded in 1901, produces Milka products. See how Bludenz fits into Vorarlberg’s wider Alpine region by browsing webcams nearby.
