High Route Silvretta

This high route is placed in the Silvretta Austrian massif, placed between the Austrian and Swiss border. It doesn’t outstand for its height and among the peaks that we can climb to, we can highlight the Piz Buin, which is the highest peak with 3.312m.

The great beauty of its landscapes, with spectacular valleys and glaciers are the great attractive of this journey that, with modest daily slopes, optional peaks and well-equipped shelters, will make us have some great mountain days that we won’t forget, and it will be appropriate for middle level mountain skiers.

Most of its shelters have prepared accesses, that we will use in case we need an escape route, and some of this shelters even have libraries and climbing walls.

This journey is perfect to get started in the Alps glacial journeys and it’s a classic among European mountain skiers, where we will be able to do a daily climb to a normally accessible 3,000 metres peak.
