18. Winterwanderweg Silvretta-Bielerhöhe

moderately difficult winter hike from Galtür-Wirl to the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe

The course of this 18 km long winter hiking trail is challenging, but the wonderful alpine panoramas and snow-covered mountain scenery soon make any exertion forgotten, because enjoyment comes easy on the sun-kissed Bielerhöhe pass (2,040 m) with its awesome Silvretta reservoir!
The tour starts in the Galtür district of Wirl, directly by the lower terminus of the Birkhahnbahn. A steady climb for some 9 km to the Bielerhöhe pass, where the impressive Silvretta reservoir is located. 
Away from the hustle and bustle, relaxing here comes easy. The way back is along the same route. No short-cut by bus is possible.

The autoroute (A12 (westbound) or A14 (eastbound)) leads you to the Arlbergschnellstraße (S 16). At the exit for Pians, turn onto the Paznauntalstraße (B 188) and follow its course into the Paznaun.

Parking lot Alpkogelbahn

With the railway station in Landeck, the Paznaun is optimally connected to the Austrian train network. From Landeck-Zams station, only a short bus ride separates you from the Paznaun. Every half hour, line bus 260 runs from there through the valley. Bus stop
