This high alpine road is not as spectacular as the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse (which lies to the east, near Lienz) but it's certainly a great road for motorbike enthusiasts and offers terrific views. If you approach it from the west (Bludenz, Montafon), you are very soon faced with an impressive set of 32 switchbacks taking you up to the Vermuntsee, a man-made lake. This is the more challenging part of the ride, but it is hardly a difficult road Further up, you reach the Bielerhoehe Pass (2071 m), the highest point of this ride and definitely worth a stop by the Silvretta Lake. The Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse is a toll road and motorbikes pay 12 Euro for the 25 km stretch (cars pay 15 Euro, I believe). Many complain about this toll, but I think it's worth it and it won't stop me from going back there again next season.
Be on the lookout for laser speed-traps set up by the Austrian Gendarmerie. If you're caught speeding (the limit is 70 kph) your trip may become even more expensive.

Smuk sø, helt oppe ved grænsen til Østrig, langt væk fra alting. Beærk at du skal gå ca 45 minutter fra den nærmeste parkeringsplads - og et er i bjergterræn.

Lünersee is a lake located in the Tyrol Mountains, in the west part of Austria. Here it is only possible going up with the Lünerseebahn (a cableway). In fact, when you arrive at the lake, you can see fantastic views of surroundings (really incredible!), walk around the lake, do very beautiful excursions, go to eat and drink to the hotel-restaurant, or only relax and enjoy with nature. You choose!
Pitifully, when we arrive (August-2016), it rained and it was cold, but we went to the restaurant, eat a soup and return to go a short walk.

Arriving after a never ending "snaking" road we reached the Silvretta Lake - altitude training ground for many european sportsmen. Stunning views and even better descent into the Tyrol. The Paznauntal is gentle and peaceful. Do stop off at the small BArock Church in Galtuer

The area is highly varied and extensive, with aspects into several areas and Valleys and different directions, skiing high in open powder down to long and varied pitches through the trees, all with spectacular views. Many off piste opportunities (not all avalanche safe). Numerous restaurants and bars. Suits all skier levels.

This creative trail captures the attention of young and old. It makes 'hiking' fun for the little ones and is a delight for adults as well. The creative minds behind the Zwergenweg deserve a pat on the back for all the fun stops along the way. Even the baby was fascinated by the wooden marbles coming down the marble track.

Beginnend bei der Bergstation der SchafbergBahn in Gargellen erhalten wir auf einem beschilderten Rundweg Einblicke in die Schmugglervergangenheit an der österreichisch-schweizerischen Grenze. Es handelt sich um einen Themenpark mit vor allem für Kinder sehr lehrreichen und interessanten Stationen. Eingebettet ist der Park in die herrliche Berglandschaft zwischen Madrisa, Gafier und Riedchopf. An der Bergstation ist das Restaurant "Schafberg Hüsli" mit entsprechender Infrastruktur. Der Themenpark ist ostenlos, aber die Bergbahnfahrt kostet ca 14 Euro hin und zurück.

Beautiful, unpoluted nature. Very quiet. Breathtaking views of the Mountains and the glacier. Don't miss visiting this when you are in the Montafon area. You can take nice pictures. You can take a walk around thelake, but it is quite long (> 6km). We had a buggy with us and had to turn back after about 1.5 km as it was a bit cumbersome. The drive up to the lake is itself beautiful. There is a long pause at noon when there are no buses. So, plan your visit accordingly.

I tried my first tandem a few years ago with Kurt and returned last year and did it all over again. This time my partner Abi, two daughters (Lauren and Sarah) and good buddy Dave. If you go to the Montafon - you MUST give this a try!
