Mittelberg

Among the mountain communities of Vorarlberg, Gemeinde Mittelberg stands out for forming the Austrian Kleinwalsertal, a high Alpine valley reached by road only through Germany. The Breitach flows from Baad past Mittelberg, Hirschegg and Riezlern before continuing into the Allgäu. Slopes of the Allgäu Alps surround this municipality of four settlements, where Walser heritage remains central to local identity. Walser families settled the valley in the late Middle Ages, leaving a distinctive dialect and building tradition. In winter, the area is part of the Oberstdorf-Kleinwalsertal ski region, while summer brings hiking routes and mountain lifts.
