Travel guide Mellau
Discover the Mountains around Mellau
Located behind the Bregenzerwald, at the foot of the Kanisfluh, one of the most imposing mountains in the area, Mellau warmly welcomes fans of mountain holidays as well as those who want to spend a ski holiday or family-friendly vacation days here.
With the cable car, you can go hiking up to the 1400 meters of altitude at the Rossstelle. Here, between Kanisfluh and Mittagspitze, a vast hiking area with more than 2000 kilometers stretches out.
In winter, you can also use the area for skiing or snowboarding.
For mountain bikers, the Bregenzerwald is still a little insider tip: routes of varying difficulty levels lead through beautiful natural landscapes.
