Vorarlberg and Tyrol were far less affected by the heavy rains of the past few days than other regions in Austria. Now, however, the West made a name for itself in terms of the weather! On Monday morning, a general snow chain requirement had to be imposed on the Silvretta High Alpine Road.
Hard to believe, but true – since the morning hours there was a general obligation to chain between the state borders between Tyrol and Vorarlberg on the 2032 meter high Bielerhöhe and the toll station in the municipality of Partenen (1051 meters). Lock on the Vorarlberg side While the snow line was still clear on Sunday evening was over 2000 meters above sea level, it dropped significantly overnight. For this reason, the general obligation to wear chains had to be decreed on the winding pass road, which is very popular with tourists, between the Vorarlberg Montafon and the Tyrolean Paznauntal. However, this was lifted shortly after 8 a.m. The conditions are still wintry in some places.Mother Holle sends her greetingsMother Holle also sent a little greeting to the Lünersee at 1,970 meters above sea level in the Rhätikon Mountains – but during the course of the day the snow should say goodbye here too.
