Your next cycling ride in Austria

About the ride

The Grosslockner is the ultimate challenge for many two-wheel fans. You will start at Bruck an der Grossglocknerstrasse. You are lucky, because the first 10 kilometers are relatively flat. Excellent moment to warm up the legs before the climb starts.

The real punch starts at Ferleiten with gradients over 10%. You will be fighting these kinds of gradients all the way up. Just close to top you will get some relief averaging an 8% gradient. After a short descent you climb via Fuscher Lake to Hochtor. A short climb with an average percentage of 6%.

The last fight of the day will be during the ascent of Edelweißspitze. This is a 1.8km cobblestone side road to the Edelweißspitze. With a 10% average the cobblestone side road is not an easy one to climb, but the short series of hairpins are even harder to descend.
