Munich & the Grossglockner

Touch down in Munich, the heart of Bavaria and a city where tradition and modern culture go hand in hand. Before your alpine adventure begins, explore Munich’s charming old town, stroll through the English Garden, or visit one of its world-famous beer halls. With its mix of vibrant city life and deep-rooted heritage, Munich sets the perfect stage for what’s ahead.

Your journey kicks off with a fast-paced escape from the city, cruising south through the Bavarian countryside. Pass through rolling hills and quaint alpine villages before entering Austria, where the mountains grow steeper and the views more dramatic. Stop for a short hike to a local waterfall, then continue toward Zell am See for lakeside lunch. The highlight of the day is driving the legendary Grossglockner High Alpine Road—Austria’s highest mountain pass—where every curve brings jaw-dropping scenery. End the day in a quiet valley town near the Dolomites, surrounded by towering peaks and fresh alpine air.

Today gives you two unforgettable driving options. If you’re in the mood for variety, head northwest through High Tauern National Park, stopping for a hike at the towering Krimml Waterfall and enjoying lakeside views at Achensee before looping back to Munich. If you’d rather double down on mountain drama, re-cross the Grossglockner—this time in reverse—for a whole new perspective. Early morning light, quiet roads, and crisp mountain air make it an entirely different experience. Both routes offer a perfect mix of thrilling roads and relaxing moments in nature, wrapping up with a smooth return into the city.

If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye, consider adding an extra night to dive deeper into the culture, history, and world-class food scene that makes Munich one of Europe’s most beloved cities.
