Magnificent views - Kitzsteinhorn, Grossglockner and at your feet the turquoise reservoirs of the Mooserboden. An absolute dream peak (2 highest in the Glockner group) in the state of Salzburg. For a safe ascent, absolutely safe weather conditions, surefootedness and a head for heights are necessary.

Magnificent! Great view! There is information about the snow situation on the Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus website. At the end of July there was no snow at all.

It is not a waterfall. It is the overflow of the Klammsee. A dam wall for the power plant group's own use plant in Kaprun. Beautifully embedded at the end of the gorge.

It marks the end of the gorge, so to speak. Beautiful view of the Klammsee, round the lake is worthwhile.

At the end of the gorge is the small dam of the Klammsee. An absolute highlight like the whole gorge. 😎

10th highest mountain in Austria. It's a fabulous place. From there you can see a beautiful panorama of the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße and of the Großglockner if the weather is clear. Can be done without glacier contact, if your start point is Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus. Crampons and ice axe are recommended, especially in the early summer. I recommend making it 2 days tour because, on the first day, you can get to the Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus from the Kaprun Kesselfall and see beautiful lakes and after a delightful oversleep with an amazing view on the lakes, make the summit and return via the bus.
