The normal route from Heiligenblut
on the Großglockner!
The first ascent took place on this route in 1800. Starting from the Großglockner High Alpine Road the path leads from the Glocknerhaus via the very quiet and unique Leitertal to the Salmhut. From there you climb over the wind gap of Hohenwartscharte, the Hofmanns-Glacier and the Salmkamp-Ridgeline to the Archduke Johann Hut, also known as Adlersruhe. Here the normal routes of Heiligenblut and Kals unite and lead to Austria's highest peak, the Großglockner. For the connoisseurs among you, we recommend the special program Großglockner Relax.
