The most famous alpine road leads you into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, to the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner (3,798m) and its glacier, the Pasterze. You will have a driving and nature experience of a special kind on 48 kilometres of high alpine road with 36 bends, and an altitude ascent to 2,504 metres!
You pass through a unique world of mountains with blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant mountain forests, massive cliffs and eternal ice to the foot of the Grossglockner, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe.
For many guests, the trip to the highest mountain of Austria, the Grossglockner (3,798m), starts from the Salzburg direction, beginning through the Ferleiten pay entrance.
Guests coming from Carinthia over Heiligenblut towards Salzburg (Ferleiten), first pass Kasereck and Schöneck before they reach the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe.
