Silvretta-Hochalpenstrasse-Bielerhoehe. The Silvretta-Hochalpenstrasse is one of the most favored and beautiful mountain roads of the Austrian Alps. It connects the Montafon in Vorarlberg with the Paznauntal in Tyrol. The highest pint is Bielerhoehe in 2030 m sea level. There you can find lots of possibilities to spend your time. The simplest one is to sit down in the restaurant Silvrettasee with its amazing view over the Silvretta Lake. A very special one is to make a boat tour on the Silvretta Lake with the motorboat. It is Europe’s one and only motorboat traffic in over 2000m sea level.
It is also very nice and beautiful to take walk around the Silvretta Lake because you have a great view to lots of mountains, for example the Piz Buin, the highest mountain of Vorarlberg (3312m). And you surely guessed it: you can start amazing mountain hikes from there, with a well marked path network and lots of alpine meadows and alpine huts to take a rest.
By the way: the Silvretta-Hochalpenstrasse is often chosen as a location for bicycle races and motor sports events (for example old-timer rallies).
You reach the Bielerhoehe with your vehicle from Partenen (Vorarlberg) or from Galtür (Tyrol). The Silvretta-Hochalpenstrasse is a very curvaceous road (32 curves on a street length of 22,5km) and there are acclivities/inclines up to 13 percent! So please drive carefully!!!
