The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is an unforgettable experience for the whole family and a must for nature and mountain enthusiasts.

From the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of over 30 three-thousand-meter peaks – including the crown jewel: the Grossglockner (3,798 meters), Austria’s highest mountain!

90 years ago, on 22nd September 1934, it was possible to cross the Hohe Tauern mountain range by car for the first time. At the wheel was none other than the then governor and political visionary Franz Rehrl, accompanied by Franz Wallack, the planner and builder of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, in the passenger seat. One year before the official opening, the two pioneers ventured on the first journey along the unfinished course of the panoramic road - a daring adventure in the Alps!
