The traditional "Fonkachüachli" (Polsterzipfel) should not be missing on a "Fonka- or Chüachlisu(o)nntig" in Großes Walsertal. Bring a piece of Walser tradition home and try this sweet pastry yourself.
Have fun baking it!

A winter hike through the snowy landscape, fun on the slopes in the Brandnertal ski area, cross-country skiing on the Tschengla or a toboggan safari: every day in Brandnertal holds a new winter experience for active nature lovers and families in store. The three villages in Brandnertal - Bürs, Bürserberg and Brand - offer the ideal environment, always accompanied by a mountain panorama, warm hosts and regional delicacies.
The Alpine Town of Bludenz forms the centre of the 5 surrounding valleys and combines nature, culture and city in a stimulating way. In winter the two towns - Bludenz and Nüziders - are ideal centres for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts: ten ski areas can be reached within a few minutes drive.
Klostertal provides intensive encounters with nature at the foot of the Arlberg. In winter skiers enjoy the pure natural snow slopes on the Sonnenkopf or the vastness of the nearby Ski Arlberg area. Those seeking tranquillity encounter the untouched nature on snowshoes or relax on cross-country ski trails and the winter hiking trails. Off to sporting challenges and intense nature experiences in Braz, Dalaas/Wald am Arlberg and Klösterle am Arlberg!

Free from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you will discover an intact natural landscape, complemented by culinary specialities and warm hosts.
