Location

The Messepark in Dornbirn is easy and convenient to reach—whether by car, bicycle, or public transportation. Thanks to its central location in the Rhine Valley and excellent connections to major highways such as the A14 Rhine Valley Expressway and the federal highway toward Switzerland, the Messepark is easily accessible from all parts of Vorarlberg as well as from neighboring countries. And there is plenty of free parking available.

Sustainability

Environmental protection is close to our hearts.
Heating with eco-friendly natural gas, a sophisticated parking guidance system, an efficient lighting concept, green electricity, and a photovoltaic system—at Messepark, environmental protection is a top priority.

This commitment to the environment is—in the truest sense—award-winning. In 2008, Messepark became the first shopping center in Austria to be certified under ÖKOPROFIT®. This award makes us proud and motivates us to remain number one in environmental protection in the future.

Since 2017, Messepark has also been powered exclusively by green electricity. This comes from local small-scale hydroelectric power plants and reduces CO₂ emissions by 750 tons annually.
Since summer 2019, Vorarlberg’s largest photovoltaic system—featuring 4,500 solar modules on the Messepark roof—has generated an additional 1.4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. In total, this now reduces CO₂ emissions by 1,250 tons.
