Experience the Großglockner by Car
A tour with a vintage car or convertible from Schloss Mittersill over the Großglockner, continuing to Lienz and returning via the Felbertauern to the castle promises an unforgettable journey through the majestic Austrian Alps.
The starting point is the picturesque Schloss Mittersill, where you automatically feel transported back in time as you take a seat in a nostalgic vehicle. With the quiet hum of the engine, the journey begins, and soon the vehicle winds its way through the picturesque roads of the region.
The drive initially leads to the Großglockner, Austria’s highest mountain, which impresses with its imposing presence. Along the winding roads, breathtaking views of the snow-covered peaks and deep valleys repeatedly unfold. The journey continues to Lienz, a charming town in East Tyrol, known for its medieval architecture and lively atmosphere. Here, you can take a break and explore the local sights before continuing on.
The return route leads over the Felbertauern, a picturesque alpine road winding through spectacular landscapes. As the vehicle navigates the curves, you can enjoy the pristine nature and the fresh mountain air.
Finally, you return to Schloss Mittersill, where you are welcomed with a feeling of fulfillment and gratitude for the beauty of the Austrian Alps. The tour may end, but the memories of the drive through the majestic mountain landscapes will remain in your mind for a long time.

On a detour to the Krimml Waterfalls, you admire the impressive power of the cascading waters and let yourself be enchanted by the majestic beauty of the surroundings. After this impressive stopover, the journey continues, accompanied by alpine splendor.
The return route leads back over the Gerlos Pass to Schloss Mittersill, using the same road and allowing you to once again enjoy the impressive view of the Krimml Waterfalls.

Pass Thurn / Kitzbühel
A tour from Schloss Mittersill over the Pass Thurn to Kitzbühel and back via Saalfelden and Zell am See promises a varied and picturesque journey through the Austrian Alps.
The route first leads over the Pass Thurn. Along the picturesque mountain road, breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks of the Kitzbühel Alps and valleys await as the vehicle gently takes the curves of the road. After crossing the pass, you reach the charming town of Kitzbühel, known for its picturesque old town and its legendary ski resort. Here, you can take a break and explore the sights of the town before continuing on.
Now the journey continues to Saalfelden, an idyllic town nestled in the Pinzgau Grass Mountains, and then on to Zell am See, a picturesque holiday resort on the shores of Lake Zell. Along the way, there is the option to stop in Kaprun to visit the Vötters Automobile Museum and admire a fascinating collection of historic vehicles.
The tour offers not only a wonderful drive through the mountains but also the opportunity to discover the charming towns and cultural sights of the region.
Distance approx. 150 km

Felbertauern Road
Small but definitely impressive, this is how one of Austria’s most beautiful vintage car tours presents itself. The Felbertauern Road begins just a short distance from Hotel Schloss Mittersill and crosses the Hohe Tauern, from Salzburg to Matrei in East Tyrol, over 36.3 toll kilometers.
Massive, towering rock giants, such as the Taxerkogel and Strichwandkogel, each over 2,600 meters high, accompany the drive through the Tauerntal. During the stopover in Matrei, a visit to the exhibition “Tauernblicke – Moments of Wonder” is recommended.
The loop back to Hotel Schloss Mittersill continues via Lienz and Winklern before heading north through the switchbacks towards Heiligenblut and Ferleiten to the Glockner Road. From Bruck, Zell am See, and Kaprun, it leads back to your holiday home — a wonderful tour that can be combined with the Großglockner High Alpine Road but also serves as a short detour on this charming road that is more than enough to impress.
Distance approx. 190 km
A stay at Hotel Schloss Mittersill promises an unforgettable experience for all nature lovers and adventurers. Explore the Austrian Alps with your vintage car or convertible, indulge in our cuisine, and enjoy the exquisite atmosphere of our castle hotel. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
