Top of Austria - Großglockner
. . . with skis on the highest mountain of Austria 3798m
The magnificent mountain world of the national park Hohe Tauern is a real paradise for ski touring enthusiasts. In addition to the Grossglockner with 3,798 m, there are another 300 peaks with more than 3.000 m to the national park. During our two-day tour with an anticyclic tour start on Sunday, we will have the power and the grandeur of this mountain world. The distinctive peak of the Großglockner is a worthwhile destination for every tour traveler, especially as the picturesque scenery and our lodging, the Stüdlhütte at 2.802 m, leave nothing to be desired. For the physical well-being the friendly hosts, who will spoil us with delicacies from the kitchen. The summit ascent on Monday makes this tour a very special experience.
