Brandnertal
the area and how to get here
The Tschengla is not a ski resort. People live up here all year round, there are a few inns and an alp with its own dairy; for the rest, quiet sets the tone.
On the doorstep
The valley station of the Loischkopf gondola is three minutes by car or ten to fifteen on foot. From there a ten-seater gondola reaches the top station at 1,785 metres in eight minutes — the ski area in winter, the start of the walking and biking trails in summer.
If you would rather not ride up, the walking begins at the chalet itself: the paths across the plateau lead to the Alpe Rona, the Alpe Furkla and over to the Burtscha saddle.
Winter
The Brandnertal ski area connects Bürserberg and Brand and covers around 64 kilometres of piste between 900 and just under 2,000 metres; the runs are broad, sunny and easy to read. The Silvretta Montafon is about thirty minutes away by car; the Arlberg is around an hour.
From the winter of 2026/27 the Brandnertal has its own day and multi-day tickets, the Vitamin B Brandnertal-Pass. Season and annual passes remain valid in the Montafon as well; the multi-day tickets no longer are. Booked online the pass costs less than at the counter — and the earlier, the cheaper.
A cross-country trail begins about ten minutes' walk from the chalet, and there are snowshoe routes, several prepared toboggan runs and guided husky tours.
Summer and autumn
From May until early November the plateau is walking and biking country. The trails of the Brandnertal bike park start at the top station of the Loischkopf gondola and end in Bürserberg. The Lünersee lies at 1,970 metres, about twenty minutes away by car.
Your guest card
As our guests you receive the Gästekarte Brandnertal. It covers free travel by bus and train throughout Vorarlberg as far as the border stations, and free entry to the outdoor pools in the area. The mountain railways are not included.
Getting here
The last few kilometres are the same for everyone: leave the A14 at the Bludenz-Süd / Brandnertal exit, then up through Bürserberg onto the plateau. The road winds, but it is well built and cleared all year; the motorway is fifteen minutes away. If you come by train, travel to Bludenz and take the bus up from there — free throughout Vorarlberg with your guest card.
From Germany
Munich is around 240 kilometres and a good two hours away, via the A96 to Lindau and on along the A14 through the Rhine valley. By train the route runs through Lindau-Reutin, just under four hours from Munich.
From Switzerland
The Brandnertal is one of the first larger ski areas you reach coming from Switzerland. Chur is around 75 kilometres and just under an hour away, Zurich around 150 kilometres and about two hours — via the A13 through the Rhine valley and Liechtenstein, then onto the A14 at Feldkirch.
By train you reach Bludenz without changing: the Zurich–Vienna Railjet stops at Sargans, Buchs, Feldkirch and Bludenz; from Zurich it takes around two and a half hours.
From the Netherlands
Amsterdam is around 830 kilometres and a good eight hours away, via Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart to Lake Constance. The last hour runs from there along the A14 through the Rhine valley to Bludenz.
By air
Altenrhein around 60 minutes, Friedrichshafen 90, Zurich and Innsbruck about 120 minutes each.
What you need on the way
Austrian motorways require a vignette; it is available digitally and at the filling stations before the border. From November to April winter tyres are compulsory in Austria, and you should carry snow chains. The road is cleared daily right up to the house.
