Grossglockner High Alpine Road

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 !

For my family, weather is important in visiting this Austrian mountain glory. After waiting for a sunny, blue skies and temperature above 25"C, we headed-off for a road trip from Munich, Germany. Car entrance fee € 36.50. But it was worth it. Every curve is fascinating unfolding of mountain views just as in the postcards. There is always a viewpoint for taking photos along the way. Serpentine roads. Snowcapped mountain tops. Delightful indeed.For a landscape lover, this is one terrific park to be. Restaurants are in strategic places for stops. Roads are well-maintained. This was our short covid break. Glad we did it !

It was definitely worth climbing the 300+ stairs. A truly unique experience. The views, the sound of the running water, the stairs - all made for a special kind of trip.
