Silvretta-Bielerhöhe to Saarbrücker Hütte (2,538 m) and back

Directions

The starting point of this hike is the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe, which is accessible via the toll Silvretta High Alpine Road. From there, you first start downhill, passing the Madlenerhaus before beginning the ascent after crossing the Ill river. A signpost then leads us to the left. Some time before reaching the Saarbrücker Hütte, you can already see it – even before passing the 2 idyllic mountain lakes. On the sunny terrace of the hut, you can excellently admire the surrounding mountain scenery. When descending from the hut, we keep left and hike past the Schwarze Böden through the Kromertal valley back toward Großvermunt. At the Kromerbach location, a signpost leads us right, past the Madlenerhaus back to the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe.
