Großglockner High Alpine Road
The most beautiful high alpine road in the Hohe Tauern National Park offers driving fun, hiking entertainment and nature experiences.
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is like an ornament of ribbons located between green mountain pastures, colourful flower meadows, rocky rubble, ice and show. It nestles up against hills, follow the course of the natural ground and fits the mountains like a glove. Whooshing waterfalls, the shrill whistling of marmots and the howling wind in the summit regions create an unforgettable high alpine soundscape. And then, all of a sudden, he appears: his majesty, the Grossglockner, the black mountain.
With 48 kilometres of road and 36 turns, the high alpine road takes you into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park. But that’s not all! Museums, nature and panoramic trails, unique exhibitions, information points, playgrounds and grand waterfalls are waiting for you at twelve select spots. Discover the world of the golden eagle and the marmots!
