Triesenberg, Municipality in Liechtenstein
Triesenberg is a municipality in Liechtenstein situated at approximately 884 meters elevation and consisting of eight villages scattered across the hillsides. The settlements include places like Malbun, Steg, and others that make up this alpine community.
Written records first document Walser settlers in the region during the 14th century, when they were already managing alpine pastures in the area. This early settlement established the foundation for the permanent communities that exist today.
The local community speaks a distinctive dialect that traces back to Walser settlers who arrived in the early 14th century. This heritage continues to shape daily life and community identity in the villages today.
The municipality sits at high elevation and is most accessible during winter months when Malbun operates as a ski resort. In other seasons, the region offers hiking opportunities, though road and path conditions can vary with weather.
A centuries-old Walser house is preserved in the local heritage museum, displaying how families lived in earlier times. The building offers a window into traditional craftsmanship and the daily routines of mountain communities.
