    Silvretta-Bielerhöhe - Tschifernella - Saarbrücker Hut - Schwarze Böden - Großvermunt - Silvretta-Bielerhöhe

    Easy to walk high alpine route. Ascent on well-marked paths to the hut. The first part of the return route follows the hut supply trail, from the Kromerbach location on a narrow mountain path. Already at the starting point of the route, the summit of the Silvretta High Alpine Road, there is a magnificent view over the reservoir towards the three-thousanders of the Silvretta.

  • Directions

    From Silvretta-Bielerhöhe it goes briefly down to the Madlenerhaus. Further downhill the young Ill river is crossed and the gradual ascent to Großvermunt begins. Over rocky fields and through low bushes it goes upwards, with the mighty massif of Hochmaderer always in view. Over the plateau of the Tschifernella you reach a grassy mountain ridge. Here, for the first time, the destination of the day becomes visible, the Saarbrücker Hut standing on a rock spur. The path passes two small glacier lakes and soon descends to the “Schwarze Böden”. After the bridge over one of the two Kromerbach streams, you reach the hut supply path. Over this or a marked shortcut path you reach the highest alpine club hut of the Silvretta (2,538 m). For the descent, the hut supply trail can be chosen, which leads down past the “Schwarze Böden”, past a customs hut, through the Kromertal towards Vermuntsee. At about 1,820 m a signpost indicates the further route to the right. In gentle ups and downs the path winds through Großvermunt and past the Madlenerhaus up to Silvretta-Bielerhöhe, the starting point.
