Silvretta Reservoir, Alpine reservoir in Gaschurn, Austria.
The Silvretta Reservoir spans 1.3 square kilometers at an elevation of 2,030 meters, forming a water body between the peaks of the Silvretta mountain range.
The construction of the reservoir in the 1950s marked a significant development in hydroelectric power generation for the Vorarlberg region of Austria.
The reservoir functions as a central gathering point where local residents conduct seasonal festivities and outdoor activities throughout the changing Alpine calendar.
Visitors can reach the reservoir through regular bus services to Gaschurn or by car, with dedicated parking facilities available near the main observation points.
The reservoir operates in tandem with Vermunt Reservoir to power the Obervermuntwerk II plant, creating an integrated system of water management in the Alps.
