Directions
The path leads us from Vermuntsee along a gravel road beside the Kromerbach into the Kromertal. It steadily ascends until the Saarbrücker Hut, which can already be seen from afar. On the sun terrace of the hut you can wonderfully admire the surrounding mountain scenery. The descent from the hut first takes us back along the same path before turning right towards Tschifernella/Silvretta-Bielerhöhe. Passing two idyllic mountain lakes, we reach the Madlenerhaus, from where we still have one last short climb before reaching Silvretta-Bielerhöhe with the Silvrettasee.
