Discover Pettneu am Arlberg

Pettneu am Arlberg combines an impressive mountain landscape with insights into the history and craftsmanship of the Tyrolean region. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment as a base for varied days away will find a range of options here: hikes, mountain and ski tours, a paved cycle route, a natural monument and several cultural sites give the trip its own rhythm.

Landscape and tours around Pettneu

The Schnanner Klamm gorge above Schnann in Pettneu is a natural monument that has been made accessible to hikers again. It is therefore a special landscape feature for anyone who wants to discover not only high-altitude destinations but also distinctive natural formations during their trip. From Pettneu, extensive tours also lead into the Malfontal valley and to Hoher Riffler, a mountain rising 3,186 metres above sea level.

Pettneu am Arlberg is a good starting point for hikes as well as mountain and ski tours. You can decide for yourself what to focus on during your holiday: while the mountain world invites you to embark on extensive excursions, the fully paved Stanzertal cycle path offers another way to explore the surroundings by bicycle. For winter planning, the 2-kilometre-long cross-country ski trail at the Pettneu football pitch is another specific point of reference.

History, craftsmanship and paths through the village

A notable testimony to the village's history is the chapel on Kalvarienberg. It was built in the early 1780s by Alois Wechner from Pettneu and consecrated on 15 October 1804 by Prince-Bishop Karl Count von Lodron. Anyone interested in religious buildings and regional history can include this site in their own journey of discovery without planning their holiday exclusively around tours.

The “Faith & History” themed trail traces the development and history of the village and parish at various stops. The old Nessler Thaja offers an insight into everyday life on a mountain pasture in the Stanzertal valley more than half a century ago. This allows nature experiences to be combined with cultural discoveries, while the individual themes appeal to different interests within a travel group.

An old Tyrolean craft can also be discovered in Pettneu: visitors can learn about this craft by visiting a bell forge. For your planning, it is important to note that visits are only possible by prior appointment. Anyone wishing to include this experience in their plans should therefore arrange the appointment before visiting.

Which location suits your travel plans?

When choosing accommodation in Pettneu, you can first use the experiences you want to shape your trip as a guide. If hikes, mountain and ski tours or the Malfontal valley are the focus, the village's alpine setting is the decisive part of your planning. If the trip is intended to combine nature with history and craftsmanship, the chapel on Kalvarienberg, the “Faith & History” themed trail, the Nessler Thaja and the bell forge complement the programme. The Stanzertal cycle path and the 2-kilometre-long cross-country ski trail open up further opportunities for active days away.

Pettneu am Arlberg is therefore a suitable destination for anyone who does not want to limit their days to a single activity. When looking for a holiday apartment, consider which of the focuses mentioned are particularly important for your trip, and choose your accommodation accordingly as your personal base for nature, activity and culture.
