Magnificent Views

Advantages: breathtaking views, beautiful scenery
Disadvantages: open during summer only

The Alps, Austria, Grossglockner Road - the very first Alpine highroad which was opened in 1935, is certainly worth a visit.

If you arrive via Salzburg, drive to Zell am See, then to Bruck, where the Grossglockner Road officially starts. If you arrive from the other side of the mountains (Carinthia), drive to Heiligenblut and start from there (which is what I did when I was there two years ago).

A word of warning ...

Guided tours to the Grossglockner peak via the glacier are available.

There is a restaurant (not the cheapest, of course) and a souvenir shop at the Franz-Josephs-Höhe.

You then drive back to Guttal, turn right onto the main Grossglockner Road again, towards Heiligenblut, a lovely village with a very ... more

This is accessed by a 34 kilometre long road that twists and winds its way up to the top station at 2,369 metres, but as it is situated about an hour’s drive from Kitzbuhel itself I intend to make it the subject of a separate opinion. Of the three mountains the Grossglockner was by far the most impressive, and I look forward in anticipation to writing my review. ~ ~ If walking is your thing then you are well catered for here in Kitzbuhel. There are over 180 kilometres of well marked walks in the immediate vicinity, varying from gentle little strolls down the valley to the neighbouring villages of Kirchberg or Aurach, or more adventurous and challenging hikes up the Alpine peaks. A visit to the local Tourist Office will get you a local map, and you can even earn ...
