Winding through the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road is one of Europe’s most spectacular mountain drives — a breathtaking route that brings you face-to-face with Austria’s highest peak, the mighty Grossglockner (3,798 m).
Stretching over 48 kilometers and rising through 36 hairpin bends, this engineering marvel offers unforgettable views of glaciers, alpine meadows, waterfalls, and snowcapped peaks. At every turn, nature reveals itself in dramatic form — from grazing marmots and wildflowers to the towering Pasterze Glacier below the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe viewpoint.
Whether you’re driving, cycling, or motorbiking, the experience is pure freedom — a high-altitude adventure through pristine alpine landscapes, historic stone tunnels, and scenic stops like Edelweißspitze, the road’s highest point at 2,571 meters.
Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and road trip enthusiasts, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road isn’t just a way to travel — it’s a journey into the soul of the Austrian Alps.
