September 21, 2023,"Highscore 2.701 am Piz 6 R" - Hohes Rad Rundweg > Wiesbadener Hütte

Piz 6 R - a hilltop with a summit cross on the bike saddle. But the 2,701m is our highest point on this holiday and the most meters in altitude in one day.
The route starts at the Silvretta reservoir and goes anti-clockwise into the Biel Valley, which is gentle on the knees. It's not without reason that the path …

Can someone pinch me? How beautiful can a landscape be.

I've been to the Silvretta reservoir many times and my heart beats a little faster every time.

The tour around the Hohe Rad starts along the Bieltalbach. The meters are slowly increasing. The first 3000m peaks appear in front of us and then we go up a somewhat rocky path …

July 25, 2024,⛰️🥾🇦🇹 Silvrettastausee - Radsattel - Wiesbadener Hütte

Today we took the hiking bus to the Bieler Höhe. From the Silvretta reservoir towards Radsattel through the picturesque Bieltal. The climb up to Radsattel was tough, and because it was so beautiful yesterday, we again went over some snow fields and through scree. The descent to the Wiesbadener hut is not easy either, especially since the descent is not …

Impressive hike with a great panorama, glacier view and varied landscape.

The tour should only be undertaken with good footwear, sure-footedness and alpine experience.

We did it as a "family hike" with children between the ages of 8 and 14, but our children have a lot of "hiking experience" and stamina. The length of the route should not be underestimated. …

Today the weather wasn't really good: 10 degrees and an icy wind - but it went well with the magnificent landscape 😉 An unwanted highlight was a helicopter operation, but fortunately it wasn't an accident, 'only' a damaged leg - but it's good to know that you'll get help quickly 👍
