Edelweissspitze
Edelweißspitze
The highest point on the Großglockner High Alpine Road reachable by car (2,571 m), with 360-degree views of more than 30 snow-capped peaks over 3,000 m.
The Edelweissspitze sits at the end of a short, steep cobblestone spur off the northern section of the Großglockner High Alpine Road. It is only about 1.6 km long, but the gradient is steep and the bends are tight, and large motorhomes are not allowed up. At the top you'll find an observation tower and a small wooden-cabin restaurant. On clear days you can see more than thirty peaks over 3,000 m, including the Großglockner itself. The spur is paved with stone blocks, so drive slowly.
