Hohes Rad, Alpine summit in Silvretta Alps, Austria

Hohes Rad is a summit in the Silvretta Alps that rises to 2,934 meters and marks the boundary between Tirol and Vorarlberg. The rock formations at the top provide views over surrounding peaks and valleys below.

The Hohes Rad lies on the border between Vorarlberg and Tirol, above the eastern shore of the Silvretta reservoir near the Bielerhöhe (2,036 m). The two usual ascents, through the Ochsental and the Bieltal, meet at the Radsattel (2,652 m); a shorter variant branches south below the Bieler dam and joins the route at the Radschulter (2,697 m).

The mountain's name, Hohes Rad ("High Wheel"), appears on signposts at the Bielerhöhe and at the junction below the Bielerdamm, where the short north route branches south from the Bieltal path. German-speaking hikers use the two approach valleys, Ochsental and Bieltal, which meet at the Radsattel saddle at 2,652 m.

Access requires a toll payment for the Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse road, which takes visitors to the starting point at Bielerhöhe pass at 2,037 meters. From there, hikers can continue on foot, with conditions depending on weather and season.

Between the summit and the Bieltal lies the Radsee, a small lake at about 2,460 m in a high hollow. Hikers on the Bieltal route pass it before reaching the Radsattel at 2,652 m, where both ascents meet.
