Some road trips to take in a camper van in Liechtenstein

Between majestic Alps and picturesque villages, Liechtenstein offers a postcard-like setting for nature and tranquility lovers. This small country, nestled between Switzerland and Austria, is perfect for a camper van trip, with its diverse landscapes, accessible hikes, and charming villages to discover at your own pace. Here are three iconic itineraries to fully enjoy this alpine destination.

In 7 to 10 days: Quick discovery of the Alps and villages

Start in Vaduz, the capital, to admire the famous fortress and stroll through the city center. Then, settle at the Mittagsspitze campsite, ideally located to explore the valleys and alpine trails. Take the opportunity to hike on the Fürstin-Gina-Weg or the Liechtenstein-Panoramaweg, and make a stop in Malbun, the mountain village, for a night at the stellplatz with a view of the peaks. End with Balzers and its medieval castle, before following the Rhine for a complete immersion in nature. This short circuit offers you a comprehensive overview of the country, with comfortable stops and breathtaking landscapes.

In 14 days: Total immersion and varied hikes

Deepen your exploration by traversing the 11 municipalities of the country via the Liechtenstein-Weg, which takes you from Triesen to Schaan, passing through Triesenberg and Mauren. Spend several nights at the Mittagsspitze campsite, alternating with stops at the stellplatz in Malbun to enjoy the altitude and mountain activities. Discover the Ruggeller Riet nature park, its lakes and wildflowers, then explore side valleys like that of Steg. If you want a bit of variety, a short incursion into neighboring Switzerland (St. Gallen or Zurich) is possible for supplies or to discover other landscapes, but the heart of the stay remains firmly linked to Liechtenstein.

In 21 days: Slow travel and alpine immersion

Opt for a slow pace and a deep immersion in local life and nature. Settle for several nights in each village, alternating between the Mittagsspitze campsite and the stellplatz in Malbun and Balzers. Explore each valley, each trail, each secluded corner, enjoying hikes, swimming in lakes, and encounters with locals. Extend your stay in Switzerland or Austria if needed, to discover the neighboring regions of Vorarlberg or the canton of St. Gallen, but always return to Liechtenstein to enjoy its unique atmosphere. This long itinerary allows you to experience the country like a local, away from the beaten path.

Explore Liechtenstein in a camper van or van: season, weather, and rates

Liechtenstein, a small alpine country nestled between the Alps and the Rhine, offers diverse landscapes and a unique atmosphere for travelers in camper vans or vans, with a seasonality marked by the seasons and weather conditions.

When to go to Liechtenstein

The best time to travel in a camper van or van in Liechtenstein is from June to September, when temperatures are pleasant and rainfall is less frequent. In Vaduz, the capital, average temperatures range from 20 to 24 °C in summer, ideal for exploring the valleys and picturesque villages like Triesenberg or Malbun. In winter, temperatures often drop below zero, especially in Schaan, and snow covers the mountains, making roads more difficult to access.

Weather and seasons in Liechtenstein

The climate of Liechtenstein is temperate continental, with cold winters and mild summers. In Vaduz, annual precipitation is around 950 mm, peaking in summer due to thunderstorms. Southerly winds, known as foehn, can cause rapid temperature variations, especially in autumn. In winter, nights are long and the sun is rare, while in summer, mornings are often sunny, but storm clouds can appear in the afternoon, particularly around Lake Gamprin.

Seasonality and camping rates

Camping rates in Liechtenstein vary according to the season, facilities, and location. In Vaduz or the surrounding areas of Balzers, prices are generally higher in summer when demand is strong. In winter, campsites are often closed or offer reduced rates, but access may be limited by snow, especially in mountainous areas like Malbun. It is advisable to book in advance during peak season to benefit from the best locations and services.


Practical tips for traveling in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein, a small alpine country nestled between Switzerland and Austria, offers an exceptional natural setting for camper van and van enthusiasts but imposes strict rules regarding driving, parking, and camping.

Driving and regulations

In Liechtenstein, traffic drives on the right, and the right-hand priority rule is very strict, especially at intersections, which often surprises foreign drivers. The Swiss driving license is recognized, making it easier for visitors from Switzerland to drive. Speed limits are 50 km/h in towns, 80 km/h outside urban areas, and 100 km/h on semi-highways. Seat belts are mandatory for all seats. Using a phone while driving is only allowed with a hands-free device. To drive, it is essential to have a warning triangle, a reflective vest, and a first aid kit on board. These rules are enforced throughout the principality, including in the capital Vaduz and the mountain resort of Malbun.

Sleeping and connecting

Wild camping and bivouacking are strictly prohibited in Liechtenstein, including in natural areas around Malbun or in alpine valleys. To park and spend the night, it is recommended to use dedicated areas like the one in Vaduz, which offers pitches with electricity, water, and waste management, or the P2 parking in Malbun, equipped for camper vans. The electrical system used is the same as in Switzerland (type J socket), so it is necessary to have a compatible adapter to connect. On board, 12V electricity works even without an external connection, allowing the use of essential equipment while traveling.

Local tips and safety

Liechtenstein is a safe country, but it is important to respect local rules to avoid fines, especially regarding parking and camping. Nature is protected, and camping outside authorized areas is prohibited, particularly in nature reserves near Triesenberg. Locals appreciate peace and respect for the environment, so it is advisable not to make excessive noise and to manage waste responsibly. In case of an incident, the local police are responsive, and a European accident report must be filled out in case of material damage.
