Tours, Cross-Country Skiing and Mountain Landscapes

From Pettneu, extensive tours lead into the Malfontal valley and to the Hoher Riffler, which rises to 3,186 metres above sea level. The elevation describes the mountain’s location, but makes no statement about snow reliability, current conditions or the difficulty of individual routes.

The Fußballplatz Pettneu cross-country ski trail is 2 kilometres long. The stated length helps classify the offering, but says nothing about its current operating status. Those who want to combine different interests can also consider the fully paved Stanzertal cycle path as another documented route; this does not imply anything about seasonal use or specific connections to individual accommodations.

Nature and Local History

The Schnanner Klamm gorge is located above Schnann in Pettneu and is described as a natural monument. It has been made accessible to hikers again. This distinguishes it from the cultural and historical offerings in the village: at various stops, the “Faith & History” themed trail focuses on the development and history of Pettneu and its parish.

The chapel on Kalvarienberg was built in the early 1780s by Alois Wechner from Pettneu; it was consecrated by Prince-Bishop Karl Count of Lodron on 15 October 1804. The old Nessler Thaja has a different focus and provides insight into former everyday life on a Stanzertal alpine pasture more than half a century ago.

In Pettneu, which includes Schnann, you can also learn about an old Tyrolean craft by visiting a bell foundry. Such visits are only possible by prior appointment.

Choose accommodation according to your preferred focus

When searching for a hotel or other accommodation in Pettneu Am Arlberg, you can first decide which focus determines your trip: tours in the direction of the Malfontal valley and Hoher Riffler, the 2-kilometre cross-country ski trail, hiking destinations such as the Schnanner Klamm gorge or cultural and historical sites in the village. Specific distances from accommodations to these destinations, as well as the facilities and availability of individual accommodations, remain unspecified. These points should therefore be checked for the respective offer.
