    An impressive hut hike in the majestic Silvretta in Montafon.

    A route for mountain enthusiasts who appreciate the natural beauty of the mountains as well as refined, regional cuisine. The hiking trails lead through the Silvretta past glaciers and the highest mountains of Vorarlberg. The impressive high alpine character of the Silvretta is palpable and experienceable at every step and shapes this stage hike.

    Important: On this demanding route, you should plan your personal daily sections and reserve overnight stays at the huts in advance!

    Due to high demand at the huts, we recommend reserving sleeping places directly at the huts early enough.

  • Directions

    From the Madlenerhaus, you hike up to the Silvretta Lake. The hike starts at Silvrettasee and leads left over the dam to the junction into the Bieltal. The lively Bieltalbach helps you overcome the first altitude meters. A larger lake, the Radsee, is located to the right of the path on a hill, embedded in green meadows. Now you have to cross rock and scree fields. Further up, the path becomes wetter because smaller lakes are located in the area. The Rad saddle is reached. The view is magnificent. Grey-green and rust-red rugged rock ridges rise from green mats. Behind them, the white snowfields and impressive glaciers shimmer. The descent to the Wiesbadener Hut is initially somewhat steep and then zigzags down.
