A popular hike with views across the Rhine Valley, Lake Constance and the Swiss mountains, including a stop at the Panoramarestaurant Karren.
The hike up Dornbirn’s local mountain (976 m) starts at the cable car’s valley station. Hikers on their way up may choose between taking a steeper route or the family trail. The way up takes hikers through the forest and is therefore ideal on hot summer days because of the shade that the trees offer. The Karrenkante at the top provides panoramic views far beyond the borders of Vorarlberg. The Panoramarestaurant Karren is located at the Karrenseilbahn’s mountain station. The restaurant serves regional dishes and refreshing drinks. It’s also possible to combine the hike with a cable car ride, for example, to return to the valley.
Viewing platform with selfie point at the Karrenseilbahn’s mountain station.

The well-signposted hike starts directly behind the cable car’s valley station (464 m). It takes hikers across the Dornbirner Ache from where there is an immediate right turn up the steep Oberbürgle Forstweg (Forest Path). Then it takes hikers over the Bürgle to the wayside shrine Bildstöckle (710 m). This is where hikers may choose between the shorter but steeper route straight ahead or turn left to use the family trail. The trails join again further up and continue across Kühberg up to the mountain station (976 m). Hikers may return the same way or take the cable car down to the valley. The cable car runs every 15 minutes until 11.00 p.m., even until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
