    The climb up the Großglockner, Austria's largest mountain, is only a few kilometers from Saalbach and thus a popular destination for every cycling holiday in the Pinzgau region. Up to the Edelweißspitze, the declared goal of this route, you overcome over 2,500 meters of elevation and skillfully maneuver your bike through many hairpin bends. In total, the "Glockner" has 36 hairpins and is 48 km from Fusch-Ferleiten in Salzburg to Heiligenblut in Carinthia. In combination with the picturesque Zeller See, this strenuous route brings a smile to every biker's face.
