Karren is Dornbirn’s emblematic local mountain, towering over the city and offering panoramic views of the Swiss mountains, the Rhine Valley, and over to Lake Constance. It can be reached on foot in around an hour, or by a few minutes’ cable car ride lifting passengers up to a height of 976 metres. The cable car operates until late in the evening; the views from the top are breathtaking whatever the weather or season. The peak is also home to a panorama restaurant – an ultra-modern glass building perched impressively on the cliff face. Hiking trails lead from here to the mountain village of Ebnit, and down to the spectacular Rappenloch and Alploch gorges.
