The tour starts at Glocknerhaus, you can park your car here. To reach Glocknerhaus, you must take the 'Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse', which is a beautiful Alpine scenery road. It is only open during the summer. You will find all kinds of information, including prices (toll road!) here: Grossglockner High Alpine Road.
The trail we took:
- Glocknerhaus
- Margaritzenstaus
- Sandersee
- Pasterze Glacier
- Kaiser Franz Josefs Höhe (you can take the funicular up from the glacier, info here, but for those up for some more cardio, you can walk up stairs too)
- Franz Josefs Haus
- Glocknerhaus
You can eat and drink at Glocknerhaus and Franz Josefs Haus, but there are plenty of rocks and benches as well for those in favor of picknick.
