Hiking Trails Under 5 km in Liechtenstein

32 routes in Liechtenstein qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 3.2 km.

That is 42 percent of the 77 routes we map in Liechtenstein. They are shorter than the local average, 3.2 km against 6.8 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 3 m (10 ft) against 65 m (213 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Short routes for a spare couple of hours, an evening walk, or a day when the weather only gives you a window. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
