At Kaiser Franz Josef’s Höhe, the end point of the Großglockner High Alpine Road and the start point of the Alpe Adria Trail, another attraction awaits with your National Park Kärnten Card – after a short cable car journey and an interesting hike you come to the Pasterze, the biggest glacier in the East Alps. 8 km of eternal ice protruding from the Großglockner (3798m).

At one time the ice extended to the cable car valley station, yet in the last few decades it has visibly retreated. An eternal up and down, as glacier polished rocks confirm. The power of nature – something you get to experience with the Grossglockner Gletscherbahn
