Kals am Großglockner

Kals am Großglockner Must-Sees

Kals am Großglockner serves as a primary gateway to the Großglockner, Austria’s highest peak at 3,798 meters. The area features a network of high-altitude alpine huts, including the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte—the highest in the country. Visitors can explore the historic Kalser Tal's cultural heritage through its collection of traditional 18th and 19th-century water mills and the Gothic-style St. Rupert parish church. The region offers access to the Hohe Tauern National Park via the Kalser Glocknerstraße mountain road.
