Hiring a motorhome in Vaduz means setting off from the capital of Liechtenstein, a small town nestled below its princely castle on the right bank of the Rhine, between Switzerland and Austria. Within an hour you reach the Tamina Gorge, the Montafon valley or the Malbun resort; within two or three, the source of the Rhine at the Oberalp Pass or the Silvretta High Alpine Road. Our partner Anywhere Campers hands over its campervans and motorhomes here, from two-person models to family motorhomes.

The country has no motorway: you join the Swiss A13 by crossing the Rhine, or the Austrian A14 via Feldkirch.

  11. Vaduz

Via Feldkirch and its old town overlooked by the Schattenburg castle, you reach Bludenz and then the Montafon, a valley of chalets that climbs to the Silvretta High Alpine Road. Its hairpins, tolled and open only from late spring to autumn, lead to the Bielerhöhe reservoir, facing the glaciers. You come down into the Paznaun via Galtür and Ischgl, then Landeck comes before the return via St Anton and the Arlberg Pass.

Follow the river south: the Tamina Gorge above Bad Ragaz, the vineyards of Maienfeld, where the story of Heidi is set, then Flims and the turquoise Lake Cauma. The Anterior Rhine then runs through the Ruinaulta, a canyon carved into the debris of a huge prehistoric landslide. After Disentis Abbey, the road climbs to the Oberalp Pass, near Lake Toma, regarded as the source of the Rhine, then drops to Andermatt. Return through the same valley.

In the south, Gutenberg Castle watches over Balzers, before Triesen and the winding road up to Triesenberg, a village founded by the Walser, overlooking the whole Rhine valley. A tunnel then leads to Steg and Malbun, the country's mountain resort. In the north, the Unterland lines up the ruins of Schellenberg, the Eschnerberg historical trail and the Ruggeller Riet wetland reserve, carpeted with blue irises in late spring.

Weather and seasons

When to go in Vaduz?

Best time

June and September

June, September
highs 21 to 24 °C, lows 11 to 14 °C

The best months to set off from Vaduz: passes open, the Malbun mountain pastures accessible to hikers and up to 12 hours of sunshine a day in June. September, much drier than summer, is the month when herds come down from the high pastures, and comes just before the grape harvest in the prince's vineyards below the castle.

High season

July and August

July to August
highs 25 °C, lows 15 °C

Peak season is also the wettest: August is the rainiest month of the year, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. On 15 August, the national day brings residents together in the castle meadows and ends with fireworks above Vaduz: parking in town becomes very difficult that day.

April, May and October

April to May, October
highs 15 to 18 °C, lows 4 to 9 °C

Contrasting shoulder seasons: the Rhine valley turns green in April while snow still lingers in Malbun, and the Oberalp and Silvretta passes only open in late spring. May is the wettest of these three months. October, drier and still mild, colours the forests above Triesenberg and empties the roads.

Winter

November to March

November to March
highs 6 to 12 °C, lows -4 to 2 °C

Winter brings night frosts and snow at altitude, while the valley often stays clear, with five to eight hours of sunshine a day. Malbun becomes a small family ski resort and Steg a base for cross-country skiing. The Oberalp and Silvretta passes are closed: head for the Vorarlberg valleys instead.

Practical tips

Everything to know before hitting the road

Reaching Vaduz without an airport

Liechtenstein has no airport and its small stations have few trains. The easiest option is to fly into Zurich, about an hour and a quarter away by road, then take the train to Sargans or Buchs on the Swiss side, or Feldkirch on the Austrian side; buses link these stations to Vaduz. Tell Anywhere Campers your arrival time: the exact handover location is in your confirmation.

Vignettes on both sides of the Rhine

In Liechtenstein, with no motorway, no vignette is needed. As soon as you use the Swiss A13, across the Rhine, the Swiss vignette is required; the Austrian A14, towards Bregenz or the Arlberg, requires the Austrian vignette, apart from a few exempt border sections, and the Arlberg road tunnel has its own toll. Check the rules in force and the vehicle's vignettes at pick-up.

The climb to Malbun

From Vaduz, the Malbun road climbs in tight bends to Triesenberg, then goes through a tunnel before dropping down to Steg and climbing again to the resort. The gradient is steady in both directions and service buses run all year. Use a low gear on the way down to spare the brakes, and arrive early on summer weekends: the Malbun car park fills up quickly.

Foehn wind in the Rhine valley

The Rhine valley, between Sargans and Lake Constance, is one of the most pronounced foehn corridors in the Alps. This warm, dry southerly wind sometimes blows in violent gusts, especially in spring and autumn. In a tall motorhome, slow down on the valley floor and on the Rhine bridges, retract the awning and avoid parking under trees.

What travellers ask

Your questions about a road trip in Vaduz

Where can I pick up a motorhome in Vaduz?

Our partner company in Liechtenstein is Anywhere Campers, whose depot is attached to Vaduz. The exact meeting point, handover time and documents to bring are given in your booking confirmation. Allow a good half hour for the vehicle inspection and familiarisation before tackling the climb to Triesenberg or the mountain pass roads.

How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Vaduz?

There is no single rate: each offer is calculated from the departure date, the number of days and the vehicle chosen, with manual or automatic transmission. Enter your dates in the search to display real prices from Vaduz, mandatory fees included, with the insurance conditions of each offer. You can then book directly online.

Which vehicles are available from Vaduz?

Our searches list five models: the Van for 2, for two people, the Carado T-447 low-profile motorhome for four, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight T 68 for five, and the Sunlight A70, with six seats and six berths. Most come with either manual or automatic transmission; the Sunlight T 68 only appears as an automatic. For Malbun and the passes, the van remains the easiest to handle.

Can I drive into Switzerland and Austria with a motorhome hired in Vaduz?

Yes, and it is almost unavoidable. The Rhine bridges lead into Switzerland without customs checks, as Liechtenstein is part of the Swiss customs union, while the Feldkirch road enters Austria at Schaanwald, where goods checks remain possible. All three countries are in the Schengen area. Check in the offer conditions that the insurance also covers Germany or Italy if you go further.

What should I see in Vaduz before setting off?

The Städtle, the pedestrian street in the centre, brings together the Kunstmuseum, a black cube devoted to modern and contemporary art, the national museum and the postage stamp museum. The castle, the prince's residence, is not open to visitors, but a path climbs up to it for the view over the valley. Further down, the princely winery's vineyards and the old covered wooden bridge over the Rhine to Sevelen are best explored on foot or by bike.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Vaduz

What licence do I need for a motorhome hired in Vaduz?

A category B licence covers campervans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes, which matches the models usually offered. If your licence was issued outside Europe, an international driving permit may be required during a check, in Switzerland as in Austria. The minimum age and years of driving experience are set by the rental company and shown in the conditions of each offer.

Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Liechtenstein?

Wild camping is prohibited in the country, and sleeping in a vehicle in public car parks is generally not allowed. Campsites are few: there is one in Triesen, at the foot of the Mittagspitze, and one in Bendern, near the Rhine. Campsites in Austria's Vorarlberg and the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, a few kilometres away, take over in peak season.

Which currency is used in Liechtenstein?

The currency is the Swiss franc, under the monetary union with Switzerland. Bank cards are accepted almost everywhere, from petrol stations to campsites, and euros are often taken, but change is then given in francs at an unfavourable rate. Keep a few coins for parking meters and the service points of motorhome areas.

Do I need winter tyres to leave from Vaduz?

Neither Liechtenstein nor Switzerland sets fixed dates, but a driver who is poorly equipped on a snowy road is held liable in the event of an accident. In Austria, winter equipment is compulsory from November to mid-April in wintry conditions. To drive up to Malbun or cross the Arlberg between November and April, ask the rental company whether the vehicle has snow tyres and chains.

When should I book a motorhome in Vaduz?

For July and August, the only period when the Silvretta, the Oberalp and the other passes are all open, book several months ahead: the town has only one depot. For June and September, a few weeks is often enough, but automatic vehicles go first. In winter, availability is wide; above all, check the snow equipment.

About us

Why start a motorhome trip from Vaduz

Vaduz offers a rare starting point: an entire country to explore in two days, then three Alpine directions as soon as you leave town. To the south, Graubünden and the upper Rhine valley up to the Oberalp; to the east, Vorarlberg, the Montafon and the Silvretta; to the north, Feldkirch and Lake Constance. With no motorway and little traffic, the first kilometres are gentle, along the vineyards and the river.

Anywhere Campers, our partner company, offers five models here, from the Van for 2 to the six-berth Sunlight A70, most with manual or automatic transmission. The town itself, capital of a principality where the prince still lives in the castle, deserves half a day before you set off. From June to September, when the passes are open and the days long, Liechtenstein is at its best for a motorhome trip.
