The Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse is probably one of the most famous scenic routes in the Austrian Alps. No wonder, it’s almost 50 km of bends, stunning views and a constant smile on your face (if the weather is fine, of course). More than a million tourists visit it every year. This is quite a good result, especially since the number of visitors is growing year by year. Why do we love this route? Why, when we are in this area, we have to go for a ride through Grossglockner on a motorcycle? These are our five very subjective reasons why we think Grossglockner will never get bored. Do you have your own reasons? Let us know!
#1 Grossglockner on a motorcycle, that’s 48 kilometers of amazing views
The mountains are beautiful. Without a doubt, they are the ones that always make us collect our jaws from the ground. It is from the mountains that we bring hundreds of photos because every next meter we drive seems to us different from the previous one and we need to capture it on a photo. Imagine what dilemmas we have later to choose the best photos. Why do we think the Grossglockner is unique in this sense? We have never seen a route that goes through all climatic zones. Starting with green meadows and pastures, through forests and rocks to the land of eternal ice. Watching nature change with the change of altitude is definitely an extraordinary experience. It’s like a kaleidoscope of changing landscapes and experiences.
