The Gerlos Alpine Road is an important pass road from Salzburg to Tyrol. The best time to experience the Alpine Road is the months of May to the end of October. During the winter months, the Gerlos Alpine Road leads right into the Zillertal Arena ski area. The absolute highlight on the mountain road are the water worlds Krimml and the Krimmler waterfalls, which thunder with a drop height of 380 m into the valley.

The pass road in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park offers a wide range of possibilities for families with children, enjoyable convertible and classic car drivers, hikers and nature lovers. The Gerlos Alpine Road, the most beautiful twelve kilometers between Krimml and the pass, was planned by Franz Wallack, the builder of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. His handwriting is unmistakable: The enthusiastic alpinist knew how to integrate the road into the landscape so harmoniously that it appears as part of it. From each car park on this section you can see the Krimml waterfalls - and at the top of the pass a rare high moor awaits you, before the Alpine road leads down to Gerlos, the first village on the Tyrolean side, and into the Zillertal.

Especially with the motorcycle an incomparable highlight, the view just terrific! The day ticket currently costs (2019) 6.50 € for the motorcycle and 9.50 € for the car.

Beautiful view of Zell am Ziller, and right turn for a stop. The pass road should drive in the early morning, there are the tourists still in the beds.

On the street you can let it roll relaxed into the valley. Nice smooth asphalt, beautiful curves and many photo opportunities.
