Grossglockner

Austria's highest mountain and centrepiece of the High Tauern National Park You can approach the Grossglockner in many different ways: it is the highest mountain of the Alpine Republic, one of the most striking elevations in the Eastern Alps and the summit of passion for many a mountaineer. The mountain is also home to people, numerous animals and rare plants. The Glockner is cloaked in secrecy, is the stuff of legend and has great attractive power. It is an obstacle on the path from north to south, yet a place where it has been overcome through the millennia. Join us and get to know his majesty, the Grossglockner, in his numerous aspects!

The Matterhorn

This imposing mountain towers 14,700 feet on the Swiss-Italian border.

Reviewed By Whiztech21 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.

St. Anton

One of the more popular ski resorts in the Tirols.

Reviewed By steadsy - Blyth, United Kingdom

.....but does the person who does the colour grading of pistes have colour-blindness. Most blue runs in the main area have very steep red bits (esp. pistes 50 and 100), reds are very steep and yet some of the blacks are easily do-able. The snow was excellent when we were there so we ventured over to Lech/Zurs via Stuben and the Trittkopf gondolas with very steep top end. The very steep red piste 144, in Zurs, is brilliant and a must if you like a challenge with a long, shallow 1km schuss at the bottom.

Untersberg

Reviewed By S8424YSmarkc - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Great way to spend a few hours of a trip to Salzburg. Particularly at this time of year when there's plenty of snow at the top (but none in town). On a clear day, such as we had, the views were great and it's really nice in the sunny weather. Cable car up is pricey (EUR25 return), but it is free with a Salzburg Card (one of its many many benefits). Easy to reach from the town centre by bus. One of the bus routes (route 25) also goes via Hellbrunn and Salzburg Zoo, so it is very easy to combine all 3 into an excellent day trip (as we did).
