De klim gaat inderdaad door prachtig landschap en is extreem druk. De Glocknerstraße is de op één na drukste attractie van Oostenrijk. Hier niet de geur van Almenweides, maar verbrande remschijven. Laatste stukje naar de Edelweißspitze gaat prachtig over kasseien. Waar heb je dat nog? Vertrek voor 8h00 of na 17h00, dan is het relatief rustig.

Prachtige klim. Neem wel een jasje mee, want bovenop kan het koud zijn. Na de Edelweissspitze kun je nog doorrijden tot Hochtor. De weg is zeer goed, alleen wel druk met auto's motoren en andere fietsers.
