Grossglockner - Austria's Highest Peak

The Hohe Tauern National Park is undeniably one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. It spans an area of 1,850 square kilometers, making it the seventh-largest national park in Europe. It is only surpassed in size by the parks of Iceland, France, Russia, and Sweden.

The region has numerous attractions, including the Krimmlwasserfall, which is Austria's largest waterfall; the Kapruner Wasserkraftwerk, which is Austria's largest high-altitude hydroelectric power plant; and the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in the Eastern Alps chain. There are also several glaciers, ski resorts, thermal springs, gorges, and canyons. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road was constructed in 1934, during challenging times, with tremendous efforts to pave 49 kilometers of road through the most challenging mountainous terrain. To this day, the construction of the road has paid off dozens of times! Around one million visitors, with 310,000 vehicles, come here every year to admire the Alps. As a guide in Salzburg, I have developed at least five different programs related to the Panorama Road, and my favorite tour is a trip to the Grossglockner! I would be delighted to offer you my excursions, so please don't hesitate to send me your request.
