The mountains look alpine, but they don't have to be conquered in a daring way.

Lace up hiking boots & pack your backpack
We start our hike early. It is summer and a wonderfully hot sunny day is predicted. Meter by meter we cover the valley with the Grossglockner cable cars. An advantage in two respects: We save ourselves vertical meters on the ascent and at an altitude of over 2.000 meters we don't feel the summer heat as strongly. We start our hike from the mountain station via the Geotrail Tauernfenster, a scenic tour to the Hochtor. Oh, how beautiful life is, you can enjoy it in the mountains.
