Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße

Two rock slides occurred on the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße in the area of hairpin bends 13 and 14 - one smaller and one larger event. The smaller event on Friday morning (12 July) and the larger event on Saturday (13 July) in the morning.

The term ‘public transport’ refers to all road users, including cars, bicycles, mopeds and other means of transport. The Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße is also closed to pedestrians.

We are currently carrying out geological investigations and extensive safety measures. We are working together with our geologists and external experts to ensure safety. This includes securing endangered areas and using measuring equipment for precise monitoring. Other measures such as the construction of dams and possibly the relocation of the road are also being considered. We are currently assuming that the work will probably continue into the autumn. Thank you for your understanding.

Revision works is currently being carried out on the Vermuntbahn, which also affects the cabin of the Vermuntbahn. The cabin is currently being completely overhauled at the manufacturing plant to bring it up to the latest state of the art. It is therefore not possible to open the Vermuntbahn this summer. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your understanding. 

The Silvretta-Bielerhöhe can be reached without restriction via the Tyrolean side as far as Vermuntsee. Even if the entire route is currently not passable, our commitment to the care and maintenance of the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße remains undiminished. For this reason, we are unable to offer a discount on the toll fee.

The WildPass is a product of the Bergbahnpool Montafon Brandnertal, which includes services from several service providers. In the event of cancellation of an included service, there is no entitlement to a refund/extension.

Hiking routes from Partenen-Bielerhöhe:

• Partenen via the Ganifer to Kops, then bus route 260 takes you via Kops to the Bielerhöhe. 
• Ascent with the Tafamuntbahn cable car and hike over the Wiegensee to Kops, then take bus route 260 via Kops to the Bielerhöhe.

What does the road closure mean for the return of a hike in the Montafon?
If your hike ends on the Bielerhöhe, we recommend that you take bus number 260 to Kops and then walk from there through the Ganifer to Partenen (approx. 2.5 to 3 hours). If your tour starts in Partenen, simply go the other way round.

You can find the bus timetable here.

What about guided hikes/tours?
The guided hiking and mountain tours organised by the mountain guides take place as planned.
BergePLUS: the guided hike ‘Panoramatour um das Hohe Rad’ and the bike tour ‘Silvretta 3-Seen Tour’ of the BergePLUS programme are currently not offered. Alternatives are:

• Energy Trail
• E-MTB Tour Neue Heilbronner Hütte 

Is it possible to hike up via the Trominier Tunnel?
The exit from the Trominier Tunnel is in a restricted area and is therefore closed.  The Europatreppe is accessible. You can return to Partenen via the Bofa hiking trail.

You can cycle or mountain bike over Ganifer in the direction of Kopssee. Access is via the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße to the second bend, where you have to turn left onto Ganifer. Please note that cars that are authorised to use the road also drive on Ganifer, so special care is required.

The Silvretta-Bielerhöhe is currently not accessible by car from the Montafon. Access is possible via the Paznaun Valley, Tyrol. Access from the Montafon is possible by car via the Arlberg Pass (note: The Arlberg tunnel is closed during summer 2024).
