Silvretta Reservoir Dam

Highlight • Lake

Great place for hikes. Around the reservoir in two hours or up to the peaks. Afterwards you can eat up the lost calories again here in the Hotel Biz Buin.

Tributary of the Ill at the Silvretta reservoir

Highlight • Waterfall

The Ill rises in the middle of the Silvretta group and is fed entirely by glacier water. At this point it rushes over a wide gravel bed and flows into the turquoise-colored Silvretta reservoir.

Klostertalbach Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The narrow Klostertal brook roars down here as an impressive waterfall into the Silvretta reservoir. Especially in the early summer after the snowmelt a great nature experience.

You can circumnavigate this wonderful reservoir at a leisurely pace in 2 hours (time for photos and enjoying the view). Framed by mountains and interspersed with numerous waterfalls, it is a unique experience!

July 28, 2023,🇦🇹 Bielerhöhe - Saarbrücker Hütte - Sattelkopf ✅ - Klostertal - Bielerhöhe

Last day of vacation - last tour.
The entire tour is marked in red and white, but the ascent and descent to/from the saddle head is pathless and requires sure-footedness and a head for heights.

good directions:

Beautiful tour with beautiful views of the surrounding mountain peaks and glaciers from the Saarbrücker Hütte and the Sattelkopf.

After we found out yesterday that the road over the Silvretta Pass had been opened, we decided to hike this tour. A long and strenuous tour with a stop at the Saarbrücker Hut. At the end we had to motivate each other to finish the loop 😬😀

Beautiful tour, with a gentle climb over the Klostertal. Then it's finally off to the mountains. Over the Litzner saddle up to the Saarbrücker Hütte, with descent to the starting point at the Silvretta reservoir. High alpine tour with extremely difficult terrain - only gravel and scree - over the entire distance, but exactly what a mountain hiker loves.
