Lynx in Vorarlberg – Switzerland and Liechtenstein as source populations
Since 2018, lynx from northeastern Switzerland have been documented migrating eastward into the Austrian state of Vorarlberg.

In Vorarlberg, lynx originating from Switzerland and Liechtenstein have been repeatedly confirmed since 2012. The current lynx monitoring report from Vorarlberg for the 2024/25 monitoring year provides an overview of the local situation.
