Burs

The Ill River defines the setting of Gemeinde Burs — its valley floor concentrates homes, roads and businesses beneath the steep lower slopes of the Rätikon range. The municipality stands beside Bludenz in the Walgau, where the Ill Valley opens west toward the Rhine Valley and alpine routes continue into Vorarlberg. Nearby, the Bürser Schlucht is a narrow gorge shaped by the Alvier stream, sharply contrasting with the developed valley floor. Vorarlberg’s Alemannic dialect traditions give this part of Austria a cultural character distinct from many other Austrian regions.
