Best Mountain Hikes near Feldkirch

We track 66 routes that match this search near Feldkirch. They average 18.4 km and 955 m (3,133 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 106 km.

That is 36 percent of the 184 routes we map near Feldkirch. They run noticeably longer than average for the area, 18.4 km against 11.6 km, so budget more daylight than a typical outing here. The climbing is steeper too: 955 m (3,133 ft) on average versus 624 m (2,047 ft) across the wider area.

Mountain routes trade effort for scale. Expect sustained climbing, quick weather changes and views that make the numbers worth it. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
