The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

This Gletscherweg is an amazing round trip from the bottom of the Innergschloss valley, going through the forrest alongside a big powerfull waterfall up to some lakes and eventually to boulders and the glacier, to then return on the other side back to the valley. To get to this hike, you can park (or get a bus to the parking area) at Matreier Taurnhaus and then either walk up to Innergschloss (3 hours return) or take a taxi or carriage to Innergschloss. They go all the time in the summer, so no need to make a reservation. Then once up at Innergschloss, you hike about 25 minutes through a flat valley to the start of the loop, which is 4 hours back to the valley. So in total, around 5 hours from the place you can get to with public transport, or around 8 hours from the Matreier Taurnhaus. You can hike very close to the glacier and the views are amazing there! The last bit you have to be a bit more steady on your feet as there is some clambering up boulders, but kids were doing it too, so take it easy and you will be fine.
