Karren by night

The view from the top of Karren mountain down into the Rhine Valley is always worth a visit. Especially when it's getting dark out and you can enjoy the view over the sea of lights. Don't miss it!

With the motto Inside Dornbirn, you will find a diverse range of shops, restaurants, bars and cafés in the town centre. The Messepark centre offers further shopping facilities. The market square hosts a twice-weekly market selling a wide variety of regional produce.

GETTING HIGH ABOVE DORNBIRN

The Karrenbahn cable car takes visitors up Dornbirn's local mountain, the Karren, and offers splendid views. From Dornbirn, it’s just 5 minutes up to 976 m above sea level. It is not a particularly high mountain but don´t underestimate the panorama! The Karren is also an ideal starting point for hikes. The panorama restaurant will serve mainly Austrian cuisine, from breakfast to dinner.
