Went to the Grossglockner National Park and Glacier today which is just up the road from our hotel. Never been before as the road and Park is closed all winter.
Our hotel is at about 800m and the highest point we reach on the road to the Glacier is about 2600m so quite a climb and a huge difference in air temperature. 22 degs at our hotel and 6-10 degs at the top.
You can see the vertical edge of a glacier, it breaks off at this point and falls further down the valley
The road to the glacier was amazing. The highest road in Austria and construction started in the 1930’s. Progressed a bit since then, sometimes you looked up and couldn’t imagine you would be driving up there soon.
Nice to get back to Fusch for the warmth. Took an hours walk around the village to finish the day.
It was a little cold at the top
