How to get there	The eastern climb starts in Pians (856m) not far from Landeck (807m). One could alternatively go from Landeck via Perfuchsberg to Tobadill (1138m) and down near Trisannabrücke just above Pians and then continue up. (Take off first to the left upon leaving Landeck in the direction of Pians.) This later road is quite nice at the end with a little castle. The eastern climb is quite long, but only a little steep at perhaps 2 short stretches. From Bludenz (578m) a much steeper road goes to the pass (I have not cycled it) and this is probably the nicer road.
Other comments	The Silvretta road (as the pass road is called) was partly built for touristic reasons and it is quite obviously well exploited by a well organised hotel and recreation business in the valley up from Landeck (and probably from Bludenz up as well). Galtür (1584m) would be a recommended place to stay the night at. Zeinisjoch (1842m) is reached by two different roads starting out north just above Galtür and has good views if you continue to the end of the paved road. (One could possibly go down on a gravel road to the west side of the Bielehöhe pass which seems okay, but may be a bit steep.) [AT-VO-2037a;o708]
