A variety of mountain lakes for unique fishing experiences in Vorarlberg

The region around the Arlberg offers a wide variety of natural and mountain waters where you can fish without any problems. Respectful behaviour is, of course, expected, although you do not need to have passed a fishing exam for some waters. However, in summer, most waters may only be fished with a valid day permit for fishing in Vorarlberg, which you can obtain from ticket offices, at the fishing pond in Zug or at the Lech-Zürs Tourist Office.
