Starting point for many tours on the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria. In the visitor center, you can get valuable information about this high-alpine region with the largest glacier in the Eastern Alps. In good weather you get a breathtaking panorama over the highest mountains in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
