Hiking & winter hiking in Malbun in Liechtenstein
Did you know that the Principality of Liechtenstein is the only country located entirely in the Alps and has the densest network of hiking trails in Europe? These are just two of many reasons why you should discover the nature of Liechtenstein.
Hiking in Liechtenstein in summer:
Nature smells like relaxation when the clear mountain air flows through the lungs while hiking in Malbun and alpine flowers add summery splashes of color to the nature reserve for plants in our high valley.
Winter hiking in Liechtenstein:
In winter, the Oberland of Liechtenstein with its alpine peaks is bathed in white. Nature is then in hibernation and inspires you to pause and slow down in a completely natural way while hiking and snowshoeing.

The most beautiful hiking trails in Malbun / Liechtenstein
The view while hiking in Malbun is wonderfully delightful: directly from the hotel you can reach meadow-covered mountain slopes with whistling marmots and contented cows in summer and an idyllic snowy landscape in winter. Countless mountain peaks of the Liechtenstein, Austrian and Swiss Alps.
So that you can easily motivate even the smallest mountain walkers, there are exciting themed trails. And for tired hikers, you can borrow all-terrain mountain buggies and backpacks at our reception.

n cooperation with the resonance expert Sabine Ingrid Schulz we have designed a nature experience for approx. 4 - 12 year olds in company: our children experience varied connections to nature, to themselves and empathy in the group through selected places, playful impulses, search pictures and gaits. The approx. 5 km long loop over the Sass Lake can be experienced on the route of the Explorer's Trail also for the most part in winter. You can freely arrange the nature experience with regard to the sequence and the time spent at individual places. The variety of combinable experiences allows you to experience nature again and again, even if you walk the trail several times.
