    A particularly sporty and challenging bike route in the Verwall European protected area!

    This demanding route begins at Aktivpark Montafon and leads you along the cycle path to Partenen. Past the romantically wild Ganifertal valley and the idyllic Verbellaalpe, you reach the Neue Heilbronner Hut with the picturesque Scheidsee – at the European watershed of the Danube and Rhine.

    Particularly challenging is the pushing and carrying section over the Silbertaler Winterjöchle: With a heavy e-bike, this passage requires enormous strength and endurance and is only recommended for very fit and experienced persons.

    The reward for this effort is an unforgettable 25-kilometer-long descent through the pristine Verwall European Protected Area, past forests, lakes, and streams, before you return to the starting point at Aktivpark Montafon.

    Note: The route is only passable with a bike between June 15 and September 15 from 07:00 to 20:00.

    Make sure to have a powerful battery or bring a replacement battery.

    RespekTIERE deine Grenzen – Zeitliche Einschränkungen im NATURA 2000 Gebiet

    Die Mountainbike Route von der Heilbronner Hütte über das Silbertaler Winterjöchle nach Silbertal führt durch das NATURA 2000 Gebiet und ist nur in der Zeit vom 15. Juni bis zum 15. September von 08.00 bis 18.00 Uhr (im September bis 17.00 Uhr) für Biker frei gegeben. Es finden Kontrollen statt.

    Diese Zeiten sind strikt einzuhalten, da im Silbertal die Problematik der Rinder-TBC vorhanden ist. Die Jagd muss höhere Abschussquoten erfüllen. Dies kann nur gewährleistet werden, wenn es zu einer verstärkten Beruhigung des ganzen Gebietes kommt.
