There’s only one way to truly experience the very best of Liechtenstein, and that is by walking across the entire country on a single, breathtaking route.
Whilst the country is only 25km in length, the Liechtenstein Trail weaves in and out of flourishing vineyards, endless meadows, pearl-tipped mountaintops, and hilltop castles, stretching a total of 75km, allowing trekkers to become intimately familiar with every inch of the principality.
Launched in 2019 in celebration of the country’s 300th anniversary, the Liechtenstein Trail takes visitors through all 11 municipalities of the country, revealing a wealth of culture and history along the way.
It is possible for experienced hikers to complete the trail in two days; however, it is specifically divided into five stages – Balzers-Triesenberg; Triesenberg-Vaduz; Vaduz-Nendeln; Nendeln-Ruggell; and Ruggell-Schaanwald.
Each stage is between 10 and 19km long in order to allow visitors to fully experience the uniquely exciting stories, sights, and natural views.
The suggested itinerary endorses dallying and veering off course to explore the country’s diverse scenery, expand your mind at different museums, marvel at castles, traverse German-speaking dorfs (villages), amble through forests, and witness the evocative ruins of sites like Schellenberg.
