Mittelberg is located at 1215m at the head of the Kleinwalsertal valley in Vorarlberg. The valley is a geographic curiosity: an Austrian enclave that can only be reached by road via Germany (Bavaria). The village is overlooked by the majestic Großer Widderstein, which provides a memorable backdrop for alpine hiking. In winter, the Kanzelwand-Fellhorn ski area gives a unique cross-border skiing experience into Germany. The Parish Church of St. Jodok, with its prominent pointed spire, is the landmark of the upper valley. The local Walser culture remains bustling here, reflected in the traditional wooden architecture and seasonal alpine customs. Food lovers can enjoy regional specialties like Walser mountain cheese and game dishes sourced from the surrounding forests.
