About location

Built around alpine farms near the headwaters of the Lech, Gemeinde Warth developed into a small mountain community and a base for the Arlberg ski area. It occupies high ground in Vorarlberg, where open grazing land rises to steep rocky ridges at the western edge of the Lechtal Alps. The Hochtannberg Pass links this upland settlement with the Bregenzerwald and the Lech valley. Warth has roots in Walser settlement, a German-speaking alpine culture whose communities spread across parts of Austria and Switzerland. Today, the Auenfeld lift connection ties Warth-Schröcken into the wider Ski Arlberg network, while summer pastures and mountain huts retain the area’s farming pattern.

City Warth

Tucked into the upper Lech valley in Vorarlberg’s Arlberg mountains, Gemeinde Warth is a place whose character is shaped by its high-altitude Alpine setting. The Lech, one of the region’s defining rivers, runs through the valley below slopes that remain closely tied to seasonal mountain life. Warth is part of the Ski Arlberg network, while the Auenfeldjet lift links its terrain with neighbouring Schröcken. The road over Hochtannberg Pass also places the village on the route between the Arlberg and the Bregenzerwald. Its Walser heritage remains an important part of the local identity.

Vorarlberg
Region Vorarlberg

Built around Alpine valley routes and the Rhine corridor, Vorarlberg grew into Austria’s westernmost federal state, where the Alps meet the shores of Lake Constance. The Rhine forms much of its border with Switzerland, while the Bregenzerwald, Arlberg and Montafon give the region a strongly mountainous character. Bregenz, on Lake Constance, is known internationally for the Bregenz Festival and its lakeside floating stage. Compact towns, timber architecture and a long textile-manufacturing tradition reflect a region linked closely to neighbouring Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein.

Country Austria

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
