Climbing
There is access to the climbing park with sectors A+B and C+D between the Pfälzerhütte on the Bettlerjoch and the Naafkopf. Most routes have the difficulty level 4 to 6.
You can rent climbing equipment at the Pflälzerhütte. The Fürstin-Gina trail takes you from the Malbun via the Augstenberg to the Pfälzerhütte – and back to Malbun.
Tennis
Only 10 minutes by car from Malbun, tennis fans will find three state-of-the-art rebound-ace tennis courts at the Leitawis tennis facility in Triesenberg. For court reservations, simply contact our reception.
Mountaineering and trail running
The peaks and steep paths present challenges for alpinists – especially on multi-day tours in the Rätikon Mountains. One of the stages leads from Malbun via the Augstenberg and the Gorfion to the Pfälzerhütte.
Although Liechtenstein is the fourth smallest country in Europe, the country is predestined for trail runners. The mountain area with the starting points Malbun and Steg is particularly popular with trail runners.
Fishing at Lake Gängle
The Steg, or Gängle Lake, reservoir are embedded in a wonderful alpine landscape. The reservoir is full of brown trout which can be fished all year round. The Liechtenstein Fishing Association issues fishing permits.
Sledding
At the Malbun chapel, a 200 m long sled run offers cool experiences all day long. From 4:00 pm – after the slopes close – you can also sled down the ski slopes, e.g. from the Sareis mountain restaurant to the Turna valley station or from the Täle mountain station down to Malbun. Sleds are available for hire free of charge at the Family Hotel Gorfion (subject to availability).

You can walk from the Hotel Gorfion to the ice rink "Schlucher-Treff" in just 5 minutes. You can do your laps on the ice or play a game of curling until 9:00 pm. Ice hockey is on Thursday evenings. Ice skates, curling equipment, and hockey sticks can be borrowed at the Schlucher-Treff.
