Few roads lead into such high alpine areas as the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. The Edelweißspitze, at 2,571 m, is officially the highest reachable point in Austria. From Franz-Josefs-Höhe, there is a breathtaking view of the Grossglockner - the highest peak in Austria - and the Pasterze - the longest glacier in the Eastern Alps.

Author’s recommendation

The detour to the Edelweiss Peak must not be missed under any circumstances. Here, at 2,157 m, is the officially highest reachable point in Austria.
