Access
The Kalser Glocknerstraße is located northeast of the village of Kals am Großglockner. You can park your car at the information center. Press P on the map for directions to the parking (paid parking lot). A ranger will be at the information center to provide explanations using a telescope and show you the animals in the area. You can make the walk as long as you like. If you're going to a mountain hut, the walk is quite challenging, but if you do a short loop of about 3 km (shown on the map), it's perfectly manageable, despite the occasional climb.
