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

closed
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

Description

The Bielerhöhe Trail, together with the Vorderes Vermunt and Sedlsee trails, runs for 9.3 kilometres from Wirl to Bielerhöhe at 2,035 metres, the highest point of the cross-country ski trail network. It runs along the snow-covered Silvretta High Alpine Road and ends with a steep climb in serpentines to the dam. Once at the top, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Silvretta Reservoir and the snow-covered glacier world of the Silvretta. Downstream, the trail connects with the Sedlsee Trail, Vorderes Vermunt Trail, Zeinis-Kops Trail and Galtür-Wirl Trail, while the Dam Trail Silvretta High-Altitude Trails await on the peak.
