The Bödele is Dornbirn’s local mountain for quiet winter days: from the top of the pass, you can set off on rolled winter paths that lead through gently snow-covered forests and across open Alpine meadows, with sweeping views of the Rhine Valley all the way to Lake Constance. Depending on your time and mood, you can choose short circular tours from around 45-90 minutes; in good snow conditions, some sections are even suitable for baby carriages. Refreshment stops along the route provide a warm break; winter-proof shoes with a good profile are recommended, and poles if necessary in icy conditions.
From harry’s home Dornbirn, you can reach Bödele in a short drive or comfortably by bus; parking is available on site. Insider tip: When the air is clear, the viewpoints near the top of the pass are worth taking photos in the winter sun.
