The BRANDNERTAL VALLEY, which includes the villages of Brand, Bürserberg and Bürs, begins close to the Alpine town of Bludenz in the south of Vorarlberg. Mountains, glaciers, forests, a mountain lake and river, leave their unique stamp on the countryside and the people who live here.
Nature that gehts you on the move

At the end of the Brandnertal, which boasts the most beautiful valley head in the eastern Alps, lies the romantic mountain village of
Brand. It is located at an elevation of 1,000m at the foot of the Schesaplana, the highest mountain in the Rätikon region at 2,965m above sea level. The Lünersee, which we find at the valley’s end at 1,970m above sea level, is one of the Alps’ most beautiful lakes and the starting point for truly magnificent hikes and tours of the high peaks.
Bürserberg is nestled in a sunny setting in the midst of the valley and includes the Tschengla high plateau, elev. 1250m. A hiking and recreation area which features the Alpe Rona (site of a dairy farm that is open to the public) and affords splendid panoramic views into five different valleys.
Bürs is a friendly holiday village, ideally situated between town and mountain at the entrance to the valley. Rewarding sights include Bürser Canyon, a natural wonder that dates back to the Ice Age. Shopping opportunities at the Zimba and Lünersee Parks.
NATURE THAT GETS YOU ON THE MOVE Hiking on 400 km of clearly marked hiking paths, alongside bubbling springs, across lush green alpine hillsides and meadows fragrant with wild herbs. Two new, very comfortable lifts make your climb up into the mountains as easy as can be. Guided hikes are offered daily.
