Valluga View Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Top Of The World: Valluga Viewpoint Austria
Perched atop the majestic Valluga Mountain in St. Anton, Austria, the Valluga Viewpoint offers an unparalleled panorama that mesmerizes the soul. As you ascend through the alpine landscape, a sense of anticipation builds, and reaching the summit unveils a breathtaking spectacle.
The Austrian Alps stretch endlessly, their snow-capped peaks standing sentinel against the azure sky. The pristine white canvas is interrupted only by the meandering paths of skiers carving graceful lines down the slopes. The crisp mountain air invigorates, and the silence is punctuated only by the distant echoes of laughter and the occasional whoosh of skis on powder.
Valluga's vantage point provides a unique perspective of the charming St. Anton village nestled below. The red-roofed chalets create a vivid contrast against the white expanse, showcasing the harmony of nature and human habitation. Beyond the village, the winding Arlberg Pass snakes its way through the mountains, connecting distant valleys with a ribbon of asphalt.
As the sun begins its descent, the mountains undergo a breathtaking transformation. Golden hues paint the landscape, casting long shadows that accentuate the rugged terrain. The play of light and shadow adds a layer of mystique to the already enchanting scene, creating a spectacle that photographers and nature enthusiasts alike can't resist capturing.
In winter, Valluga becomes a haven for snow enthusiasts. The slopes below beckon skiers and snowboarders, promising an exhilarating descent through powdery perfection. The sheer vertical drop from the viewpoint to the valley below is a testament to the thrilling adventures awaiting those who dare to tackle Valluga's challenging terrain.
In every season, Valluga Viewpoint stands as a testament to the raw beauty of the Austrian Alps, captivating all who are fortunate enough to witness its awe-inspiring vista.

Martinsturm Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Martinsturm Austria🇦🇹
We didn't get into the museum. For some reason it is closed and there are no messages about it anywhere. Outside, both the tower and the old town are very interesting. Worth a look. Indeed a great views and interesting exhibition about Bregenz. Unfortunately no translation available. Beautiful with interesting facts about the history of Bregenz. There was also an art exhibition during our visit. Great view over the city, below is a small chapel. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties, the steps are very steep. Located in the upper town, landmark of the city, admission is okay. Nice medieval ensemble and not as hectic as in town although only a few minutes away.
The symbol of Bregenz due to its location in the upper town (10 minutes' walk from the port), you have a wonderful view of the city, Lake Constance and the mountains. First a granary (1250) then a watchtower (1601) with a chapel and a striking onion dome. Today lookout tower and museum. Opens at 10am. You absolutely have to see the Martinskapelle with frescoes, which were created around 1360. They show colorful and vivid scenes from the Bible. Be sure to stroll through the streets and look at the lovingly prepared houses from several eras.
