Pasterze Glacier Trail Exploration

An interpretive hiking trail leading to the Pasterze Glacier, Austria's longest glacier. This well-marked path, accessible via the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, offers stunning views of the receding glacier, informative panels about glaciology, and the impact of climate change. A funicular (Gletscherbahn) can assist with parts of the descent/ascent to the glacier tongue. The trail features moderate difficulty, requires sturdy footwear, and can take 2-4 hours depending on the chosen route. Access via Grossglockner High Alpine Road (toll required, approx. €40 per car).
