The Silvretta Alps are a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps shared by Tyrol, Vorarlberg (both in Austria) and Graubünden (Switzerland). The Austrian states of Tirol and Vorarlberg are connected by a pass road (Silvretta Hochalpenstraße at 2,032 m, 6,666 ft). The majority of the peaks are elevated above three thousand metres and are surrounded by glaciers.
