THE GROSSGLOCKNER HIGH ALPINE ROAD EXPERIENCE

Mountain experiences full of great views, marmots & more!

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road has been one of Austria's most monumental landmarks for almost 90 years. It combines the fine art of high alpine road construction with the magnificent natural experience of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the largest nature reserve in the Alps and one of the most fascinating landscapes on earth.

Every year, many visitors from all over the world "conquer" the legendary "Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe" at 2,369 meters above sea level on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. High above the Pasterze, the largest remaining glacier in the Eastern Alps, Austria's highest peak is almost within reach.

Beautiful natural spectacles, panoramic views, alpine pastures and inns, educational trails and exhibitions tempt you to make numerous stops along the way.
