This fairy-tale town in Austria has been hiding in plain sight for 800 years
Feldkirch is a quietly charming medieval Austrian town with cobbled streets, an 800-year-old castle, vaulted arcades, markets, and alpine scenery away from tourist crowds.
I've been to several 'dupes' for Switzerland around the US, but none beat the Alpine feel of Washington's North Cascades
Colorado towns like Ouray and Telluride offer Alpine-like scenery but differ from Switzerland in greenery and climate; one destination stood out as best.
