Glocknerrunde Trail
The Glocknerrunde is a magnificent multi-day circumnavigation hiking trail around Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner. While parts can be done as day hikes, the full experience typically spans 7-10 days, covering approximately 120 km and over 6,000 meters of ascent and descent. The trail passes through diverse alpine landscapes, glaciers, and offers stays in traditional mountain huts. It requires good physical condition, proper equipment, and some alpine experience. Maps and detailed route descriptions are available at the local tourist office. Best undertaken from late June to mid-September.
