Silvretta

The Silvretta is a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps shared by Tirol, Vorarlberg (both in Austria) and Graub?nden (Switzerland). The Austrian states of Tirol and Vorarlberg are connected by a pass road (Silvretta Hochalpenstra?e at 2032 m). The majority of the peaks are elevated above three thousand meters and are surrounded by glaciers. Thus, the area is also known as the "Blue Silvretta".
