Vallüla (2,813 m) is a mountain of the Silvretta Alps on the border between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, Austria. It is located above the Bielerhöhe pass, from where most climbs start from.[2]

In Popular Culture[edit]

In W.G. Sebald's 1995 book The Rings of Saturn, he describes the Vallüla massif in lucid detail as it appeared to him in a dream. Sebald had previously seen the mountain as a child while on a visit to the Montafon and felt that his subconscious had retrieved the accurate description from his memory decades later.[3]
