The Brandnertal is located in the southern part of Vorarlberg, in the far west of Austria. Adjacent to Switzerland, the Principality of Liechtenstein and Germany. In the immediate vicinity of the city of Bludenz starts the Brandnertal. From Bürs the valley rises, via Bürserberg to Brand, which is at an altitude of more than 1,000 m. The Schesaplana and the Lünersee, which lies at the foot of the highest peak of the Rätikon, form the end of the valley.
The valley is traversed by the river Alvier, which runs in the lower part through the romantic Bürserschlucht (a gorge), which can be accessed by means of a hiking path.
