In summer, strongly yes: the road itself is spectacular, the village pretty, the Sareis chairlift lifts you to a full Alpine view effortlessly, and the walking paths range in difficulty. Just check the season — between April–May and November the lifts close and the place goes very quiet. In winter without skiing: the snowy village is lovely but there is less to do.

Malbun is Liechtenstein's only mountain resort and the country's Alpine heart: a high valley (1,600 metres) ringed by peaks at the principality's eastern end, half an hour by bus from Vaduz up a spiralling mountain road that climbs a thousand metres — so you pass from an elegant banking capital to an Alpine village in minutes. In winter it is a small family ski area (about 23 km of pistes, a handful of lifts, ski schools for children) — the present prince and his family learned to ski here, and it is among the quietest, least crowded and relatively cheapest ski areas in the Alps. In summer it becomes a hiking base: waymarked paths to the peaks, and the Sareis chairlift lifting you to 2,000 metres for views into Austria and Switzerland. It also has the Galina birds-of-prey park with falconry displays, and mountain-bike trails. For anyone spending a full day in Liechtenstein: Malbun is the part that makes the trip worth more than the Städtle's museums.
