About Steeg - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
Steeg, which is connected to the Lechtal cycle path, is a quiet village at the foot of Pimig mountain of 2,406 m. It is in the center of a large hiking area crossed by signposted routes that lead to destinations such as Bockbachalpe, with its Gamsvroni hut, which serves food and drinks. In winter, the area is popular with cross-country skiing enthusiasts, thanks to its network of well-trained trails, while alpine skiers can choose between a number of small family resorts in the Lechtal Valley and the vast Arlberg ski area.
Steeg also maintained many of its centuries-old traditions and crafts, exemplified by the Lorenz wood-carving workshop and Sojer craftsmen, both offering guided tours. Visitors who want to relax and get away from it all should visit the Aqua Nova pool. The village also has the Kneipp water therapy facility.
From the first settlers, still today the Walserdeutsch language has been preserved and it is still spoken in parts of Vorarlberg and Switzerland. Steeg is also the most western village belonging to the Tiroler Lech Nature Park, standing for ideal terrain for mountaineering and MTB tours. A popular hiking destination in summer is the Brockalpe pasture with the mountain hut “Gamsvroni”. The trail starts at Steeg and takes hikers via the Bockbachalpeweg trail past Lake Birchetsgumpersee to the above mentioned alpine pasture. Equally well-liked is the nature kneipp facility at the waterfall, located directly at the Lech river. This facility can be reached via the hiking trail taking to Holzgau.
Steeg | Steeg, with a population of 680, is the last municipality visitors travel through before they reach the end of the Lechtal Valley. It comprises several hamlets, the westernmost of which (Lechleiten and Gehren) are located at the end of the impressive Lechschlucht
gorge, right on the border with the neighbouring province of Vorarlberg
