  • Höhenprofil

    This circular route along Silvretta Lake leads you over the impressive dam and in the immediate vicinity of the highest mountains of Montafon, which are also the highest mountains of all of Vorarlberg.

    At the dam circular route at the reservoir of Silvretta Lake on the Bielerhöhe, the circular route leads you in the immediate vicinity of the highest mountains of Montafon as well as Vorarlberg. You enter such an impressive landscape that has a special effect on you.

    Important note: The last descent with the tunnel bus is at 4:00 p.m. from the mountain inn Piz Buin on the Silvretta Bielerhöhe. I recommend planning enough time for the hike.

  • Directions

    From the start, you move directly along the shore of the Silvretta Lake. With it to your left, you walk along the shore to the Silvretta House. Here you turn onto the dam and continue along the lake. After crossing the dam, you leave the shore and follow the path that leads you down to the right to the Madlener House. Upon reaching the Madlener House, you have reached the highest point of this route. From the Madlener House, you move back upwards towards the Silvretta House. From there, you follow the shore path again, which you had already walked at the beginning in the opposite direction.
