Old Walser settlement Bürstegg

Like Lech, the small Walser settlement was inhabited all year round, but was abandoned around 1900. There were once 13 Walser farmsteads, of which only two remain next to the little church of St. Martin. Today, the highest Walser settlement in Vorarlberg at 1,716 meters is used as an alpine pasture in the summer months.

Guided tours of the old Walser settlement of Bürstegg take place several times a day during the Walser Meeting.

The 1st Arlberg Music Festival took place in 1951 on the Rüfikopf square in Lech. It was founded by the honorary citizen, former mayor and then chairman of the Trachtenkapelle Lech KR Johann Schneider. In the following years, the festival was held alternately in Lech, St. Anton and Klösterle. Wald was added in 1954. Since then, the music festival has been held every four years in Lech and is organized by the Trachtenkapelle Lech in cooperation with the Lech fire department.

Over 50 music groups with more than 2,500 musicians from Austria and South Tyrol and up to 15,000 guests from near and far celebrate in the large marquee on the Schlosskopf parking lot. Celebrate with us!

Spectacular stage settings on the Bregenz lake stage

The spectacular scenery on the lake stage is a particularly impressive sight. It gets better each year, and the set design has for many years been a figurehead for the Bregenz Festival. The stage is designed to complement the unique features of the location and the surrounding landscape and link the lakeside view with performances on the stage. Noteworthy examples of set design include constructions such as the high tower for Richard Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" (1989/90) and the giant eye for Giacomo Puccini's "Tosca" (2007/08), which loom large in the history of the Bregenz Festival.

Cultural highlights on the shores of Lake Constance

The lake stage on the shore of Lake Constance is the largest such construction in the world. Approximately 7,000 viewers can be seated in the stands to watch the Bregenz Festival and other first-class events. Around 185,000 visitors are expected each year, of whom 162,000 will have tickets for the main stage on the lake. The unique ambience creates a very special cultural experience, in which the presenters or musicians' performances naturally take centre stage. One thing is for sure: expectations of the largest lake stage in the world are simply enormous every year.

Austria, the heart of Europe and one of the most culturally rich countries in the world, is the home of the annual Bregenz Festival. Every year, the shores of the vast Lake Constance are the place to see a world-famous cultural festival, extravagant lake stage and stunning views of the Austrian Alps. The Bregenz Festival offers a unique combination of nature & culture, entertainment & relaxation and tradition & modernity. The shores of the lake, a unique location containing the world's largest lake stage, were also the scene of an exciting pursuit featuring Daniel Craig in the Bond film "Quantum of Solace".
