Großglockner Hochalpenstraße

Heiligenblut am Großglockner, Carinthia

The Großglockner High Alpine Road is one of Europe's most fascinating panoramic roads. Over 48 kilometers, it leads right into the natural experience of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Where else can you get into high alpine regions up to over 2,571 meters above sea level so quickly and comfortably? Pleasure drivers and nature lovers are surprised at every turn with new breathtaking views. The "greatest Austrian", the 3,798 m high Großglockner, seems within reach, and at the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe you look down on its Pasterze glacier. In addition to real natural spectacles, such as blooming orchid meadows or marmots frolicking in the meadows, numerous exhibitions can also be admired along the road. Playgrounds, small circular or themed educational trails invite you to stretch your legs and gain exciting impressions of the Hohe Tauern National Park. You can find the daily updated opening hours and driving conditions at www.grossglockner.at.
