Camping boom in Vorarlberg with more overnight stays and new rules
Original source: VOL.AT

Campgrounds in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg recorded an increase in overnight stays of over 4% last year. Authorities plan to amend the law: the share of mobile homes and bungalows on sites may rise from 30% to 50%, and their maximum size from 50 to 60 sq m. A uniform ban on wild camping, similar to Tyrol's model, is also under discussion.

Caravan trip to the Alps: Fendt Bianco and BMW X3 tested in Tyrol

Auto Zeitung tested towing the Fendt Bianco caravan (weighing nearly 1.4 t) with a BMW X3 (about 400 hp) on Tyrolean roads. The route ran from the Ötztal valley to the Kühtai saddle (2020 m) and back towards Innsbruck. Towing requires getting used to the dimensions, but assistance systems such as the Truma Smart A mover (optional, €2,158) make maneuvering easier. The caravan offers more living space than a motorhome, and the tow car remains available for independent trips.
