The World’s Most Beautiful Cul-de-sac

Wonderful winter footpaths, over 120 km of ski runs and 42 km of cross country ski trails make the Kleinwalsertal a winter paradise. On top of it, an art programme with workshops, parties and sporting highlights.

Surrounded on three sides by mountains rising above 2,000 metres, the Kleinwalsertal lies in a natural valley undisturbed by traffic and noise.

During the winter, this area, together with Oberstdorf, constitutes the largest Austro-German ski region, and has much to offer. The Kleinwalsertal enclave, once settled by farmers from the Valais region, is Austrian territory as such, but can only be accessed from Germany. For over a hundred years, it has effectively been a German economic region following a customs agreement.

From 12 – 19 December 2009, the Kleinwalsertal will host a diversified programme consisting of art exhibitions and preview showings, live performances, workshops, parties, as well as sporting highlights.

This year, the United Kingdom is the event partner country. Snowboarding and its subculture take centre stage at the Walserhaus in Hirschegg.

In addition to photographic and painted art exhibitions, live performances, paint and photo workshops, exhibitions dealing with the history of the scene, as well as video premieres will take place at this unique location. Visitors can also look forward to snow sculptures by selected artists which will be presented by the incline company ‘Das Höchste’.
