Silvretta high alpine road: scenic road between Partenen and Galtür/Tyrol, toll required, only accessible in summer. Bus and lift use free for holders of the Montafon Brandnertal Card - multi-day summer ticket. Protected high moor landscape at Wiegensee, Kops reservoir with arched dam wall. Idyllically located lake, wonderful view of the peaks and glaciers of the Silvretta.

Sturdy footwear and hiking poles recommended if needed

The Verbellaalpe is located on the way and is a great place to stop. You can refill your water bottle at the fountain with clear, fresh, and ice-cold spring water or be served by Martina and enjoy a glass of fresh cow's milk from happy alpine cows. Either way, you will be strengthened to tackle the rest of the path.
