Business Insider’s travel desk spotlighted Feldkirch on 6 November 2025, calling the medieval Vorarlberg town “an enchanting place most tourists miss entirely.” While the article targets leisure travellers, mobility consultants note a parallel trend: multinational firms are increasingly booking Feldkirch’s conference venues for leadership retreats and remote-work sprints, drawn by fast rail links to Zurich and an expanding network of co-working spaces.
The town sits at the tri-border junction of Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, placing it within a 90-minute catchment of five international airports. Recent upgrades to the Vorarlberg Railway mean Vienna executives can reach Feldkirch in under six hours without changing trains. Hotel capacity has grown by 25 % since 2022, and new boutique properties offer long-stay apartment wings aimed at project teams.

For globally mobile employees, Feldkirch provides a Schengen-area base with lower accommodation costs than Zurich and a simpler immigration regime than non-EU Switzerland. The local government is courting knowledge-economy investment, allocating €12 million in 2025 to convert a former textile mill into the “Illwerke Mobility Campus,” complete with short-stay residence permits for non-EU tech founders participating in incubator programmes.
Companies planning off-sites in early 2026 should secure room blocks early; peak winter season overlaps with Feldkirch’s growing cultural calendar. HR should also brief staff on rail transfer options via Bregenz and Zürich HB to avoid costly private transfers.
