From an outdoor experience to a car event
events & guided tours
Along Austria’s loveliest panoramic road you not only get to experience Austria’s highest mountain up close, but interesting guided tours, exciting outdoor excursions and numerous events too. Find out what’s happening on the day you have planned to visit. Or when event highlights such as the ‘Glocknerkönig’ and the Glockner Pilgrimage are taking place.
From mid-July until the end of September, from Monday-Sunday at 10:30 and 13:30, free guided hikes with a National Park ranger start from the visitor centre up to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe via the panorama path up to the Kaiserstein. On the way, the ranger explains how the glacier has changed, what flowers are in bloom at the wayside and about the animals that live up here. With a bit of luck on this one-hour route you might even come across a few marmots, or spy one of the mighty ibex who live in a colony above the Nationalpark Panorama Grossglockner - Observation Tower.
A visit to Heiligenblut is worthwhile not only for the House of the Ibex but also for exciting exploration tours with the National Park Rangers in the area around the High Alpine Road. Guided tours take place at regular intervals from Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe down to the Pasterze Glacier. Get information about all the latest offers here and book direct.
