The summit can be reached via the Silvretta High Alpine Road from Partenen (Vorarlberg) or Galtür (Tyrol), one of the true dream roads of the Alps! The Silvretta-Bielerhöhe is a very popular biker meeting point, restaurants invite for a stopover, and the Silvretta House gladly offers overnight stays at an altitude of 2000 meters amidst breathtaking mountain scenery. The impressive Silvretta Lake is a very special experience and offers extraordinary, even unique views of the Silvretta mountain world. Those who want to do some hiking can visit the "Silvretta-Beach," a sandy beach on the shore of Silvretta Lake. Due to active pasturing along the road, animals occasionally appear on the roadway. The winter closure lasts from November to May. In winter, shuttle bus service operates in the upper section for the Bielerhöhe ski area.
This road is an artificial creation, built for industrial traffic to the Silvretta reservoir located at the summit by the Vorarlberg power plant operator Illwerke AG. However, the route quickly became a tourist attraction itself and thus turned into the toll Silvretta High Alpine Road.
The pass summit is even above the actual peak, which is occupied by the reservoir. On the western ramp, the road overcomes 25 hairpin bends over only three kilometers as the crow flies, but on nine kilometers of paved road, it climbs 700 meters in elevation. The eastern ramp, on the other hand, runs quite straight and is easy to drive down to Galtür.
