Bielerhöhe (2036m) Crowning the Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse, the Bielerhöhe overlooks the reservoir of the Silvretta Stausee and the 3223m Schneeglocke with its glacial scarf. There’s a large car park, café and kiosk at the dam, where bus routes from Schruns and Landeck terminate. Above the road the 2-star Berggasthof Piz Buin has 55 beds (tel 05558 4231 info@pizbuin.at; www.buin.at). There’s also the slightly more expensive Silvretta Haus (tel 05558 4246) opposite the car park. The only other accommodation is at the Madlener-Haus below the dam (see under Mountain Huts).

Galtür (1584m) A small, compact village at the eastern foot of the Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse, it is somewhat limited in facilities, with a handful of shops, two banks with ATMs, a post office and restaurants. It has a tourist office and a choice of hotels and pensionen. For details contact info@galtuer.com or visit www.galtuer.com.

Ischgl (1376m) Both a winter resort and a useful walking base, with the long Fimbertal cutting into the mountains to the south (its headwall is on the Swiss side of the range). A gondola lift rises to Idalpe (2311m) from where it’s possible to walk across the border, descend to duty-free Samnaun and return by bus via Landeck. Ischgl has a wide range of facilities and lots of accommodation in various categories. Visit the tourist office in the centre of the village for details, or try www.ischgl.com.
