Schröcken is a municipality in the district of Bregenz, in the westernmost Austrian state of Vorarlberg.

The region around Schröcken was first populated around 1300 CE by German-speaking people known as the Walser, who came to Austria in from the Bernese Oberland (highlands) located in the southern part of the Canton of Bern, Switzerland.

Later it reverted to become part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg Empire, and in 1861 was integrated into the newly founded state of Vorarlberg, Austria.

Tourism is the main economic enterprise, with an emphasis on outdoor activities including, skiing, hiking, and other mountain sports.

There is public transportation provided by Wälderbus 40 or 42, which connects with the broader Vorarlberg-Austrian-European network.
