Austria's showpiece toll road swings for forty-eight kilometres over the Hochtor pass and out to a face-to-face view of the Pasterze glacier beneath Grossglockner itself. The toll is steep — around forty euros per car — but buys immaculate tarmac, exhibitions and marmot-grazed picnic stops. Arrive before 9am and the ticket feels cheap. Detour up the Edelweissspitze spur for the 360-degree version of everything.
