Grossglockner High Alpine Road

Margaret Mills from York send us her personal Hidden Treasure of Austria.

Anybody who has been to Austria and has never experienced the journey up the Grossglockner High Alpine Road has missed out on something really special. Jump on a bus at Zell am See, enjoy the tranquil ride to Ferleiten and then through the toll booths and onto the road itself. Lots of Hairpin bends, fantastic views of the snow capped mountain ranges, wonderful views through the trees of Heiligenblut and up to Franz Josef Hohe. See Grossglockner, Austria’s highest mountain and walk down to the Pasterze glacier. Nature at its best. A hidden gem from November till May due to the snow but in summer, not to be missed.
