Silvretta-Hochalpenstrasse / Bielerhöhe from Gältur

The Silvretta-Straße rises 10.4km through mountain forest into exposed high country, gaining 463m to 2,040m. The average gradient of 4.4% disguises ramps of 12.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. At 2,040m, the summit rises above the treeline into an exposed, often windswept landscape. Located in Tyrol, Austria.
