Laterns

Laterns is a small mountain village in Vorarlberg, Austria, located in the Feldkirch district within the Laternsertal valley. Nestled between fir forests and alpine meadows, it serves as a popular base for outdoor activities throughout the year. In winter, the Laterns-Gapfohl ski area offers slopes suited to families and beginner to intermediate skiers, alongside winter walking trails and toboggan runs. In summer, the region reveals a network of hiking paths leading to traditional Vorarlberg alpine pastures, where visitors can observe traditional dairy farming and mountain cheese production. The village retains an authentic character with its traditional timber alpine architecture. Its proximity to Feldkirch and its medieval old town also allows for cultural day trips. The alpine climate brings snowy winters and mild summers, ideal for high-altitude stays. Laterns particularly appeals to those seeking tranquillity, unspoilt nature and family-friendly tourism, away from the bustle of larger alpine resorts.
