Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:15:09

The 23km-long Silvretta High Alpine Road twists and turns beneath peaks rising to well over 2500m before climbing over the 2036m Bielerhöhe Pass via 34 knuckle-whiteningly tight switchbacks. At the top of the pass, the Silvretta Stausee (2030m), a startlingly aquamarine reservoir, mirrors the surrounding peaks on bright mornings.
