Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 386 reviews
Austria's highest mountain and centrepiece of the High Tauern National Park You can approach the Grossglockner in many different ways: it is the highest mountain of the Alpine Republic, one of the most striking elevations in the Eastern Alps and the summit of passion for many a mountaineer. The mountain is also home to people, numerous animals and rare plants. The Glockner is cloaked in secrecy, is the stuff of legend and has great attractive power. It is an obstacle on the path from north to south, yet a place where it has been overcome through the millennia. Join us and get to know his majesty, the Grossglockner, in his numerous aspects!

The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.
4. Grossglockner High Alpine Road
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,565 reviews
One of Austria's top 3 destinations amidst the Alps The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is like an ornament of ribbons located between green mountain pastures, colourful flower meadows, rocky rubble, ice and show. It nestles up against hills, follows the course of the natural ground and fits the mountains like a glove. Whooshing waterfalls, the shrill whistling of marmots and the howling wind in the summit regions create an unforgettable high alpine soundscape. And then, all of a sudden, he appears: his majesty, the Grossglockner, the black mountain. Join us for a journey beyond compare up high to the perpetual ice of the glacier!

The roads are well-maintained thus the entrance fee is worth it. Mountain landscape is breathtaking and heavenly. One can make short stops spontaneously for clicking or snacks. Restaurants are in major hot spots.No boring moment because the weather was glorious: sunny and blue skies. It would have been otherwise had it rain. Serpentine roads. Water falls upon reaching the the top of Grosglockner !

Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

As a group of complete beginners, we have skied with 4 different instructors from Element so far. Each individual instructor had their own teaching style, but all brought learnings that complemented our continued improvement overall. Will, Guy, Jack and Tom all put us at ease and were great fun to work with! Emma & Lucy were also great with helping us book or amend lessons. They were flexible, friendly, client-centric: can definitely recommend the team! (In fact I did actually recommend them and brought some additional friends to book with the school since our first lessons). Thanks Team Element, keep up the good work!

Ski and Snowboard School in Mayrhofen Group and private lessons for Children and Adults of all Levels.
Reviewed By Deanellis1 - London, United Kingdom
I visited Mayrhofen in January and booked my ski instruction through SMT, My ski instructor was Frederik Johannessen. Not having skied previously I was a little apprehensive but very excited, I need not have been concerned. Frederik was an excellent instructor and took me through the basics and I was soon learning how to ski under control. By the end of the week I was negotiating blue and red slopes with confidence and control, Frederik was patient and his level of instruction was second to none, he is a credit to SMT and I hope to return soon to continue my learning with Frederik.

One of the more popular ski resorts in the Tirols.
Reviewed By steadsy - Blyth, United Kingdom
.....but does the person who does the colour grading of pistes have colour-blindness. Most blue runs in the main area have very steep red bits (esp. pistes 50 and 100), reds are very steep and yet some of the blacks are easily do-able. The snow was excellent when we were there so we ventured over to Lech/Zurs via Stuben and the Trittkopf gondolas with very steep top end. The very steep red piste 144, in Zurs, is brilliant and a must if you like a challenge with a long, shallow 1km schuss at the bottom.

Great way to spend a few hours of a trip to Salzburg. Particularly at this time of year when there's plenty of snow at the top (but none in town). On a clear day, such as we had, the views were great and it's really nice in the sunny weather. Cable car up is pricey (EUR25 return), but it is free with a Salzburg Card (one of its many many benefits). Easy to reach from the town centre by bus. One of the bus routes (route 25) also goes via Hellbrunn and Salzburg Zoo, so it is very easy to combine all 3 into an excellent day trip (as we did).
