    Cross-country skiing with snow guarantee
    The journey to Silvretta-Bielerhöhe is a special experience. First, take the Vermuntbahn from Partenen to Trominier (1,731 m). Then follows a spectacular ride in minibuses through tunnels and the wintry high mountain landscape of Silvretta to Silvretta-Bielerhöhe at 2,032 m. There you have a breathtaking view of a gigantic mountain world with Vorarlberg's highest mountain, Piz Buin (3,312 m), and the frozen Lake Silvretta.

    Silvretta-Bielerhöhe offers cross-country ski trails for every taste. Cross-country skiing strengthens the cardiovascular system and shapes the figure. Freshly groomed trails, stunning winter panorama, and unique views of the surrounding mountain world.

    The high-altitude trail is groomed for classic style.
