Hohe Munde, Telfs

Advantages: very high up
Disadvantages: expensive

...I don't know about the skiing, but the location is fantastic with high mountains all around and a choice of many runs. We went in the summer for the walking and the scenery is stunning. There are lifts up to the Hohe Mutt and plenty of facilities in the town. The road in is good, but a long drive. The valley is steep in places. The Eidelweiss and Gurgl is a wonderfull hotel with a pool and jacuzzi overlooking the mountains. The food is excellent but the wine is expensive. The town is small but lively, we went to an excellent folk evening.... Read review

.... After Guttal, make sure you turn right into the Gletscherstrasse (Road of the Glaciers) to take you to Franz-Josephs-Höhe, the endpoint of the Road, which is a long panorama terrace (altitude 2369 m), built into the rock, and named after the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I (1848 - 1916). You have now reached the foot of the Grossglockner and you look at the impressive Pasterze Glacier which is 10 km long. 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 famous church.
