Visit the glacial base of the Grossglockner
Scenic journey through High Tauern National Park
Stop for coffee and cake
What to expect
With a snowy summit scraping the sky, the Grossglockner is one impressive alpine peak. Venture to the base of Austria's highest mountain for a chance to meet marmots, hit the museum or just take in grandstand views across the landscape. Journey through green pastures and rolling hills and you'll make the steady climb towards the base of Austria's highest peak – the Grossglockner. Arrive almost 2000m above sea level to enjoy striking views across the landscape and the chance to learn fascinating facts on the mountain's past, present and future in the museum. And if you're lucky, you may even spot a marmot or two – oversized squirrel creatures that call these parts home.Afterwards, you'll wind your way deeper through High Tauern National Park – there's over 300 peaks alone here, as well as alpine scenery that mirrors classic film The Sound of Music. Along the way, you'll stop off at a café for an Austrian favourite, coffee and cake.

This one of those trips where the weather is paramount. I’ve done it twice and been very lucky both times. If you appreciate gorgeous Mountain View’s, this is for you. The weather turned nasty on the way back, but by then all the photos were in the bag. The last time was 34 years ago and the glacier was bigger in those days.

The scenery on this trip speaks for itself & the guide was very informative, but I felt that the time spent was not very well allocated. The first two photo stops were fine and of adequate length but we had too little time at the main stop during which most people would also have wanted lunch so did not manage to see everything. The final stop of 45 minutes should have just been another photo stop, or we could have returned nearer 5pm instead of around 4pm. Feeling a little short changed.

Do not miss this trip! It is a fantastic drive around the 36 hairpin bends of the High Alpine Road with an experienced driver which means you can relax and enjoy the views. A chance to get close to Austria's highest peak...the majestic Grossglockner & the local wildlife (marmots) that call the slopes home! When the top is reached there are restaurants & shops as well as hiking trails. You'll wonder where the time has gone. You even stop for cake coming down. 5 stars all round.

Beautiful scenery, several stops including one stop at the summit of the pass which enable us to explore fully. George was an excellent guide, and our driver Peter was very professional.

Communication for the trip was lacking.We were told to meet at the bus stop in Kaprun but had not been made aware that we were getting a taxi to Zell so we were very confused when a taxi pulled up asking us if we were going to Zell.We looked blank until a German speaking couple intervened and clarified that we would join the coach at Zell.It would have been nice if we had this information beforehand rather than look like idiots who didn’t know what they were doing.No room to write main complain!

George the guide was very knowledgeable and made the journey fun The only one thing I may not have liked as much was once at the top I did find breathing a bit of a struggle due to being asthmatic. Didn't Hinder my experience

We found the experience simply outstanding. We were fortunate to do the trip on a reasonably clear (of cloud) day although we still could not see the peak. The overall experience of seeing glaciers, viewing points and seeing marmots was fantastic.

The scenery was lovely. The mountains were clouded in places, but what we saw, when they shifted was stunning. The guide was great and made us feel at ease. The driver was amazing turning a coach around the hairpin bends, it was no easy feat. The whole day is definitely worth the money.

The excursion was as advertised and the guide was knowledgeable. Personally I think the excursion is slightly expensive based on the distance travelled and what’s included but the scenery is excellent. My word of warning would be that if you don’t do this trip in decent weather it will be rather pointless as the main objective is the awesome views.

Good comfortable coach with guide who was very informative but also very amusing. A little pricey and perhaps a free coffee/tea or soft drink would have then made a little more gd value for the money.

The Driver Peter Kaiser was hilarious and couldn’t do enough for us. Max the guide was amazing on our trip to Großglockner Only downfall with trips was that they didn’t include a complimentary drink and snack. For the money it costs this would have been appreciated

It was a good trip though I think a tad expensive. Also why do all the reviews say about not going to the wildlife park like we didn’t but still on the next trip this is still not included in the day trip. Also research needs to be made what restaurants are open before the trip.

We enjoyed the tour but were disappointed that it did not include a stop at the Ferleiten wildlife park as stated in the tour description. You might want to amend this on your website.
