Parking

Gaschurn Versettla Bahn valley station

Directions

The route starts at Silvretta Park Montafon (Valisera Bahn valley station) towards St. Gallenkirch and leads inland past the Rifabecken to the end of the village of Partenen. There, you follow the Silvretta High Alpine Road with 34 hairpin bends to the Silvretta Lake at over 2,000 m. Shortly after the Piz Buin mountain inn (just below the dam - riding on the Bieler dam is prohibited!) a gravel path leads off to the right. You ride this path to the rear parking lot at the Silvretta Lake. Along the east shore of the Silvretta Lake, you reach the entrance to the Ochsen valley. Here begins the gravel ascent via the Ochsen valley to the Wiesbadener Hut, located at the foot of Piz Buin (3,312 meters). A special highlight is the impressive view of the Ochsen valley glacier in close proximity to the hut.

Note: This route is also the last stage of the Vorarlberg cycle path "From Lake Constance to Piz Buin."
