Travel from Salzburg to Austria’s highest peak, topped by the country’s largest glacier, on this private full-day tour. Learn about the region’s history as you travel along the scenic Grossglockner High Alpine Road to Grossglockner mountain, where you'll get up close to the dazzling Pasterze glacier. Your exact itinerary can be customized to your interests.
Meet your guide at your Salzburg hotel, then hop inside a private car or minivan and begin your day trip with a scenic drive from the valley up to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Listen as your guide reveals the thousands of years of history centered along this road, once one of the Alps’ most important trading routes.

Admire the approaching Alpine peaks as you arrive at Hohe Tauern National Park. At the Kaiser-Franz Josephs Höhe base, gaze up at Austria’s highest mountain peak, Grossglockner, towering over the landscape at 12,460 feet (3,798 meters). Lying on the peak’s eastern slope is the spectacular Pasterze glacier, the longest glacier in Austria and a striking force of nature.

Spend some time at the local museum, watching for birds and other wildlife or trekking to the glacier’s edge (if you’ve donned the proper shoes). After taking in the scenery, journey back to Salzburg, where your tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel.
