The normal route to the Großglockner from Kals.
The Old Kalser Route is one of the two normal routes to the Großglockner. The beautiful Ködnitztal, with its very well-maintained infrastructure and cozy huts, is a destination for the whole family. For ambitious mountaineers, the guided route from the Stüdlhütte over the Ködnitzkees to the Erzherzog-Johann Hütte, also known as Adlersruhe, leads the way. Here, the normal routes from Heiligenblut and Kals converge and lead to Austria's highest peak, the Großglockner.
