The route from Wald im Pinzgau via Krimml to the Gerlosplatte is a scenic highlight, but also a technical challenge that shouldn't be underestimated. From Krimml, the climb to the Gerlos Alpine Road begins, averaging a gradient of 7 to 8 percent. The steepest sections await you after the toll booth – there it gets really tough for a short while.

It's best to start early in the morning to avoid the heaviest traffic (and the summer heat). A quick stop at the Krimml Waterfalls is worthwhile – spectacular views (and a perfect excuse to catch your breath).
