Upon arriving here you stand directly before Austria’s highest mountain, the Grossglockner (3,798m), with a view of the longest glacier in the eastern Alps, the Pasterze. Dozens of marmots frolic in the immediate vicinity of visitors, and with a little luck you will also see the mighty ibex.

The “Grossglockner” exhibition at the visitors’ centre shows you on four floors all that is interesting about the highest mountain in Austria, with a Rock and Ice path of sensory experience, a Glockner Quiz, the Glockner Panorama Room, the Glockner Cinema and also confrontation with the theme of “The Grossglockner as a Mountain of Power” in the “Power Room” exhibition area. Especially worth mentioning is the new “Fascination of Ice and Glacier” exhibition – a glance beneath the frosty surface of the ice – and the special “Water-Life” exhibition, to the theme of water as a phenomenon with its special characteristics and qualities as a stimulation for the careful and sparing handling of the elixir of life.
