The Silvretta Alps are a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps shared by Tirol, Vorarlberg (both in Austria), and Graubünden (Switzerland). The Austrian states of Tirol and Vorarlberg are connected by a pass road (Silvretta Hochalpenstraße 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”.
According to the Alpine Clubs, the Silvretta Alps are outlined from other groups by the following borders: St. Gallenkirch – Ill river as far as Partenen – Zeinisjoch – Zeinisbach – Paznauntal as far as Ischgl – Fimbertal – Fimber Pass – Val Chöglias – Val Sinestra – Inn River from the mouth of the Branclabach to the mouth of the Susasca – Val Susasca – Flüela Pass – Davos – Wolfgang – Laretbach – Klosters – Schlappinbach – Schlappiner Joch – Valzifensbach – Gargellental – St. Gallenkirch.
The Silvretta Alps are surrounded by the Rätikon, Verwall, Samnaun, Sesvenna, Albula and Plessur ranges.
The Piz Buin is not the highest, but the most popular peak of the range. It can relatively easily be ascended from north or south through glaciers and stretches of easy climbing.
The Silvretta is famous for its skiing, especially its many backcountry skiing possibilities. In the 1920s Ernest Hemingway was staying in the region for a winter (he lived at Schruns in Montafon, Austria). Later, he wrote a couple of short stories about his skiing experiences in the Silvretta. Some of these short stories are to be found in A moveable feast. Wikipedia
