Schrocken

Few communities in Vorarlberg have a history as closely tied to Walser settlement as Gemeinde Schröcken. Set high in the Bregenzerwald Mountains, this small alpine municipality lies beside the upper Bregenzer Ach and below the Hochtannberg Pass, the high road linking it with Warth and the Lech valley. Its scattered hamlets and steep pasture slopes reflect a way of life long shaped by mountain farming, while the pass has also made Schröcken part of the wider Ski Arlberg area in winter. Summer brings walkers and cyclists into the high country, where the terrain remains distinctly rural beyond the main route.
