Vorarlberg, Federal territory in western Austria
Vorarlberg spans across mountain ranges and valleys between Lake Constance and the Alps, containing four administrative districts with Bregenz as its capital.
The region received its name from being situated in front of the Arlberg mountain pass, forming a distinct territory under Habsburg rule since 1523.
The population of Vorarlberg communicates in Alemannic dialect, maintaining strong cultural connections with neighboring German-speaking regions of Switzerland and Germany.
The state operates multiple ski resorts across its mountain ranges, while manufacturing industries concentrate in the Rhine Valley near Lake Constance.
A referendum in 1919 recorded 81% of Vorarlberg voters supporting union with Switzerland, though international circumstances prevented this change.
