Tour description

A challenging road bike tour from Schruns through the Ganifertal valley to the Kops Reservoir and on up to Lake Silvretta at over 2,000 meters.

From Schruns, the tour first takes you along the bike path to Partenen and from there along the sometimes steep but largely traffic-free and shaded road through the Ganifertal valley to the Kops Reservoir, where the alpine landscape and the striking dam come together in a breathtaking scene. Via the Zeinisjoch Pass and Galtür, you’ll eventually reach the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe with Lake Silvretta, before returning to the Montafon via the same route through Kops and Ganifer due to the closure of the Silvretta High Alpine Road.

Important Information

The Silvretta High Alpine Road will remain closed until summer 2030. This is due to several rockfalls and mudslides that have occurred since 2024, as well as the extensive construction and protective measures required as a result. Therefore, the road bike tour is currently only possible via the Ganifertal; the return trip follows the same route.
