Alp Sücka

The name Alp Sücka was first recorded in 1509 (1517). It is listed as the Triesner Alp. Just 100 years later, the area was recognised as a manorial property. It remained in manorial ownership until 1887, and from around 1870 the alpine buildings are also listed as a whey and air training centre. 

Sücka was thus one of the first tourist centres in Liechtenstein. Road construction also contributed to this (e.g. Kulm footbridge in 1867/1868). After the entire alp was purchased by the municipality of Triesenberg, the alp buildings were renovated and the so-called "Kurhaus" was also thoroughly refurbished. 

Visit to the alp
A visit to the cheese dairy at the right time is worthwhile, whey or "Bulder" (as they say in Triesenberg) can be tasted and a chat with the dairyman is informative. You can also watch milking, driving cattle, moving fences or feeding pigs.
