## Who they are

The Großglockner Hochalpenstraßen AG, known as GROHAG, is the Salzburg-based company (Rainerstraße 2) that operates the Grossglockner Alpine road, Austria's great panoramic road, and heads a group that manages other roads and mountain attractions in the country: the Gerlos Alpine road, the Nockalmstraße, the Villacher Alpenstraße and the Krimml waterfalls with their visitor centre. It collects the toll, maintains the road and runs the visitor centres, exhibitions and themed trails along it.

## The road

The road is 48 km long between Fusch an der Großglocknerstraße, in the state of Salzburg, and Heiligenblut, in Carinthia, with 36 hairpin bends. It crosses the watershed at the Hochtor, at 2,504 m, and has a spur to the Edelweiß-Spitze, at 2,571 m, the highest point reachable by car. At the end of another spur is the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, the viewpoint facing the Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain (3,798 m), with a visitor centre. The day ticket includes 15 exhibitions and seven themed trails along the route.

## Season, hours and tolls

The road is open from early May to early November; in winter it is closed, and it is now closed until early May 2027. In season there is a ban on driving at night: until 31 May you can pass from 6:00 to 20:00, in June, July and August from 5:30 to 21:00 and from September from 6:00 to 19:30, with the last entry 45 minutes before closing.

The 2026 tolls are €46.50 a day for a car (€40 for electric), €36.50 for a motorbike and €36.50 for a car from 18:00. There is a second day with a supplement, a three-week card, a season pass and a combined ticket with the Felbertauern road. Tickets are bought online, at the toll booths at Ferleiten, on the Salzburg side, and at Heiligenblut, or in advance at the ÖAMTC, ARBÖ and ADAC motoring clubs, without being a member. Discounts cannot be combined.

## The Glocknerbus

To go up without a car, the group promotes the Glocknerbus, which in summer leaves on Tuesdays (and in July and August on Thursdays too) from Kaprun, Zell am See, Bruck and Fusch to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, with a national park ranger of the Hohe Tauern on board explaining the fauna and flora. It leaves in the morning, gives you a few hours up top and comes back in the mid-afternoon. In 2026 it cost from €45 per adult and €27 per child aged 4 to 15, with the toll included. It is organised by the PRI Tours agency, in Bruck, and booked online until 15:00 the day before.

## Tips

Buying the day ticket online before arriving gives a 10% discount in the shops along the road. Up there the high-mountain weather changes quickly; the website publishes webcams and the state of the road, and it is worth looking at them before you set out. If you sleep in one of the lodgings on the road itself, you pay no more on leaving.
