A graceful toll road of stacked hairpins to the Bielerhöhe.
The B188 Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße climbs from Partenen in the Montafon on a flight of broad hairpins to the Bielerhöhe at 2,032 m, with a reservoir and the Silvretta glaciers beyond. Open only in the warmer months; mind the toll, the cyclists, and the weather at the top.
