Descend the northern side of the pass to a steep snow slope (caution). Angle a little leftwards down this slope, and at the foot of the snow you’ll find blue and white waymarks taking the trail down to a second snow slope. Below this more waymarks lead into a basin below the Saarbrucker Hut. Join its service road/track and follow it up to the hut, whose details are found under Route 10.

A circular tour with close views of Piz Buin and the Dreiländerspitz, visiting a popular mountain hut and crossing an easy pass, this makes an excellent day’s walk.

From the Bielerhöhe car park cross the dam wall and wander along a good path on the western side of the Silvretta Stausee. When the path forks near the end of the lake take the left branch (the right branch is for the Klostertal). Shortly after cross the Klostertaler Bach and continue round the southern end of the lake, and having crossed a second stream join the east bank trail and bear right into the Ochsental. Mountain views increase in grandeur, and glaciers and snowfields of the Dreiländerspitz, Piz Buin, Signalhorn and Silvrettahorn form a gleaming white backrop. Several minor streams are crossed as the path rises to the Wiesbadener Hut (2443m) about 2–2½hrs from the Bielerhöhe.
