: We did it twice! On our first attempt, rain and hailstorm stole the views we came for. So we pressed pause, rescheduled, and came back the next day — and WOW, this is why the Großglockner High Alpine Road is legendary. From sweeping alpine meadows to glaciers and 36 hairpin turns, every stop felt like a postcard. Highlights included the Edelweißspitze viewpoint at 2,504 m, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe lookout, and even spotting marmots along the way! 🦫 💰 Cost: €40 per car for the day, motorcycles €30 ⏰ Time: We spent ~5 hours driving with stops and short hikes. Open from 6am - 8pm. 📍 Tips: Go on a clear day, layer up (it’s chilly at altitude!), and give yourself time to enjoy the views — they’re worth it. If you ever wondered what driving Austria’s highest road feels like… this is it. Pure magic. #grossglockner #alpineviews #visitaustria #bucketlistdrive #europeansummer #highalpineroad #europedestinations #europetravel
