Although it is not an exclave in strict sense (it is contiguous with the rest of Austria), its geographic position created a special situation. The municipality of Mittelberg is congruent with the Kleinwalsertal, a valley that is only accessible by road from Germany. Mittelberg is a municipality in the district of Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria. The 5,000 inhabitants which are called "Walser" provide 12,000 beds for tourists. The valley is famous in Central Europe as a ski and hiking resort. It consists of three villages which are situated along the River Breitach: Mittelberg, Hirschegg, and Riezlern. It is a commune of the state Vorarlberg which is the most western state of Austria. It used to have special tax free status which became obsolete when Austria acceded to the EU. Kleinwalsertal (little Walser valley) is a part of Austria, but only accessible from the North, from Germany (Oberstdorf), thus its an Austrian "practical exclave" or "pene-exclave". In addition, there are 19km of cross-country trails. The lift capacity is 9,000 skiers per hour and there are 110km of slopes and 31 lifts in the region. Seven ski lifts operate over the 30km of Riederalp and adjoining Bettmeralp's slopes, and are divided into 45 per cent beginner runs 45 per cent for intermediate skiers and 10 per cent suitable to advanced and expert skiers. Riederalp is a traffic-free village (cable car access) with a small number of permanent residents who are dwarfed by the influx of in-season tourists. The altitude of the village (1,930 m) allows good view of the Pennine Alps with some of its highest summits such as the Fletschhorn, Dom and Matterhorn.Īletsch Forest above the glacierBeginners and intermediate skiers have the bulk of the 30km of pistes, while expert skiers and snowboarders have a choice of off-piste at the top of the mountain. The mid-mountain resort sits on a sunny, south-facing terrace, south of the 23-kilometre long Aletsch Glacier-Europe's largest, in the Bernese Alps. Riederalp is a municipality in the district of Raron in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
