Cycling<br />

Feldkirch is a town at the<br />

crossroads of three countries,<br />

Austria,Switzerland and<br />

Liechtenstein. Connecting these<br />

countries there are several cycle<br />

paths in the Rhine Valley and the<br />

Walgau Valley which enable keen<br />

cyclists and family groups to<br />

explore the surroundings. Feldkirch<br />

is also an excellent starting point<br />

for mountain biking (Älpele, Gamp,<br />

Alpwegkopf,Hohe Kugel, Hoher<br />

Kasten, Pfälzer Hütte etc.) The<br />

mountain ranges east and west of<br />

the Rhine valley and the Walgau<br />

can be reached via short, flat<br />

approaches on the cycle paths<br />

(10- 20 km.) Take advantage of the<br />

regional railway service whereby<br />

bikes can be transported without a<br />

problem, and you will be able to go<br />

on extensive mountain bike trips in<br />

the high alpine areas of Montafon<br />

and Arlberg. Cycling map available<br />

at the Feldkirch tourist office.<br />
