The Silvretta reservoir at the Bielerhöhe

The Wiesbadener Hut (Category I) has 160 dormitory places and 40 beds, and is fully staffed from the end of February to early May, and from the end of June to early October (tel 05558 4233).

A few paces beyond the hut bear left on the Edmund Lorenz Weg, a trail climbing northward with a few zigzags up to a high, stone-littered meadow – a good vantage point from which to study Piz Buin and its neighbours. Cairns and waymarks guide the continuing way into a rolling pastureland where a few minor pools are found in early summer. From here the path climbs a final slope to the 2652m Radsattel by a series of zigzags. This saddle, or pass, on the southeast ridge of the Hohes Rad marks the boundary between Vorarlberg and Tyrol.

The ascent of the Hohes Rad (2934m) is recommended if you have the time and energy. Take the left-hand path at the Radsattel. Heading north it cuts along the east side of the ridge to a point about 200m above the little Radsee, where a sign painted on a rock directs the ascent route up to the left. The way is a little exposed, and some easy scrambling is involved, but the summit is reached about 30–45mins from the Radsattel. The panoramic view makes the effort worthwhile.
