Malta High Alpine Road

Reviewed By YairBarZohar - Qiryat Ata, Israel

The next view I think is one of the most impressive is the Malta-Hochalm-Straße. The entrance to the road is at Brandstatt 35. To reach Mazalan, you will have to go north to Highway 100 and drive it until you reach the A10. Continue on A10 north-west to exit 130-Gmund towards Gmund. At the first circle turn left, in the second square continue straight and continue on the straight road until you reach the toll point of the landscape road. The travel time is about 45 minutes. The road is more challenging than the first route of the day, including several tunnels and sharp turns. The road runs for about 14.5 kilometers and ends at the Kölnbrein Dam, the largest dam in Austria, which rises 200 meters and stretches about 600 meters. The dam is also the highest dam in Austria, at an altitude of 1,933 meters above sea level. Guided tours take place every hour between 10: 00-17: 00. Tours are reasonably priced, and children aged 5 and under enter for free. The trip to and from the dam takes about 40 minutes. After you finish your visit to the dam and drive back to the starting point of the scenic road, you can return back on your trail to the town of Gmund

Verzasca Dam

This is definitely one of the most picturesque hiking trails in Switzerland, Lavertezzo - Dam Verzasca (Verzasca Valley), takes around 4 hours, easy hiking. You could go down from Dam Verzasca to Tenero, it will take ca. 1 hour more

It was an excellent day trip with amazing views of snow covered mountains. The whole area around Moiry Glacier, Châteaupré and Moiry lakes is amazingly beautiful. The drive to this place is awesome and quite thrilling. Free parking is available and the hiking trails in the area are great. You should definitely visit this place and enjoy every moment you spend in this area.
