The Curvy Silvretta Strasse
The Silvretta Hochalpenstraße High Alpine Road is considered one of the most beautiful and popular panoramic roads in the Austrian Alps. The 'Dream road of the Alps' is 22.3 km long and leads in 34 curves up to the 2,032 m high, providing unique views in a wonderful natural landscape. Expect steep turns and sharp bends, endless serpentines and a superb panorama.
Located in the Silvretta Alps, a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps, the road is 22.3 km long and runs from Partenen in the Montafon (1,051 m) through a total of 34 bends to the 2,032 m-high Bielerhöhe (toll road) as far as Galtür (1,584 m) in the Paznauntal. It begins right in Galtür and heads across the Bielerhöhe to Vorarlberg. The first path from Partenen to the lake Vermunt was built in 1925. Five years later the dam was finished, so the trail wasn't necessary anymore. Only eight years later the path was expanded till the Silvretta, because another dam was planned.
