The Silvretta High Alpine Road is expected to remain closed until summer 2030. Therefore, in the summer, you cannot reachthe Bielerhöhe from the Montafon by car or public transportation via the High Alpine Road; instead, you must take the Vermuntbahn from Partenen and then transfer to the tunnel bus.

You can find more information here.

By Public Transportation

With the Landbus Montafon and the Montafonerbahn, you can travel comfortably and flexibly throughout the valley. The train and bus connect the towns regularly, every half hour or every hour depending on the route. You can find suitable connections in the cleVVVer mobil schedule app. The nearest stop is “Partenen Bergbahnen Talstation.” From there, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the Vermuntbahn valley station.

By car

By car, drive to Partenen to the valley stations of the Vermuntbahn or Tafamuntbahn. The two valley stations are just a few minutes’ walk apart. Parking is available near the valley stations. Since parking conditions may change due to construction work, please follow the current on-site signage and check in advance for available parking spaces.

The tour is classified as a difficult mountain hike and leads through high-alpine terrain. Sturdy hiking boots, sure-footedness, good physical conditioning, and weather-appropriate clothing are therefore required.

Recommended gear includes a daypack with a rain cover, sun and rain protection, sufficient food and drinking water, a first-aid kit, a cell phone, maps, and, if necessary, trekking poles and a headlamp.

Plan to stop for a break at the Wiesbadener Hütte, either on the way there or on the way back. The hut is located at 2,443 meters at the end of the Ochsental valley and offers a particularly beautiful view of the Piz Buin and the surrounding glacier landscape.

After all that climbing, your reward can certainly be either hearty or sweet: homemade Kaiserschmarrn or bacon dumplings go quite well with a day spent between Lake Silvretta, the cliffs, and the three-thousand-meter peaks.
