Silvretta High-Alpine Road
A dream for sporty adventures: Silvretta mountain pass
Silvretta High-Alpine Road is one of Tyrol’s most stunning Alpine pass roads. Featuring lots of fascinating serpentines and hairpin bends, the road runs from Partenen through the Paznaun valley to Galtür. The twisty route is a favourite with motorcyclists, mountain bikers and road cyclists alike, all of whom regularly flock to the Alpine dream road.
OPENING STATUS
The Silvretta High Alpine Road will remain completely closed during the summer of 2026 following a decision made by Illwerke.
The reason for this measure is to ensure traffic safety, which remains the top priority. The closure will apply throughout the entire 2026 summer season.
Access via Tyrol Remains Possible
The Bielerhöhe will continue to be accessible from the Tyrolean side of the pass road.
Travel from Landeck through the Paznaun Valley to Lake Vermunt (Vermuntsee) will be possible without restrictions – and, as in previous years, toll-free during summer 2026.
Access from the Vorarlberg Side
On the Vorarlberg side, the Vermunt Cable Car (Vermuntbahn) will operate again, as it did last summer.
It is currently being examined whether a bicycle transport service can also be offered. Further details will be announced at a later date.
Digital Information Board Planned
A digital information board is planned at the entrance to the valley near Pianner Höhe.
This board will provide up-to-date traffic information and indicate the toll-free access to Bielerhöhe and Lake Vermunt.
Up-to-date information regarding the closure of the Silvretta High Alpine Road in 2026 will be provided continuously as new details become available.
Please note: During winter, the Silvretta High Alpine Road is closed to all traffic due to the seasonal winter closure.
