Description
Bielerhöhe is a pass between Tyrol and Vorarlberg at over 2000 meters above sea level. Many special birds from the Alps can be observed here. A good way to explore the area is, to go round the Silvretta-Stausee (reservoir). But there are many other hiking trails to explore.
Birds like Crag Martin, Water Pipit, Northern Wheatear or Lesser Redpoll are common here. Other alpine species like Wallcreeper, Bearded Vulture, Golden Eagle, Common Rock Thrush or White-winged Snowfinch are regular but harder to find.

Access
There is a parking space at the pass. Click on the P in the map for directions. Public transport also reaches the starting point, but you always have to pay tolls. The area itself is best explored on foot. The best bus to go there from Montafon is Bus Nr. 650. Note that the High Alps Road is closed at least for the entire winter half of the year, so you can visit the spot mainly in summer.
