Cross-country skiing trail Silvretta-Bielerhöhe Trail (R1b):

open
Galtür
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 18.5 km
Duration: 4:00 h

Have you easily managed the first five kilometers from Galtür and still have plenty of strength in your arms and legs? Well then - off to the boss level. A real Alpine pass awaits you.

We recommend because:

  • challenging, high-altitude continuation of the Silvretta high-altitude trail R1a up to the Bielerhöhe pass, only for those in good shape
  • absolute peace and quiet in the valley due to the closure of the Silvretta High Alpine Road in winter
  • refreshments available at the Silvretta reservoir
