Silvretta High Alpine Road and Bielerhöhe

Why visit

Choose it for a classic scenic-road day with reservoir walks and mountain views, but never build a fixed itinerary around it without checking current access.

What you will see

• Confirm the road is open before departure.
• Stop only at designated parking and viewpoints.
• Expect cold, wind or snow conditions even outside winter.

History

The road developed from construction routes created for major hydroelectric works in the twentieth century and later became a celebrated scenic connection across the high Alps.
