Hi Irena,
We love the Rätikon Alps High Trail. It’s an absolute pleasure to hike.
We haven’t hiked the Grossglockner Loop.
Schladminger Tauern and the other treks we’ve written about are significantly more difficult than the Rätikon Alps trek and Alta Via 1 trek. So as long as you’re up for a bit more technical hiking, I would say go for it! The mountains of Schladming are not as dramatic comparatively, but the lakes along the route are a dream.
happy hiking,
Sabrina

Hi, Kati and Sabrina!
thank you for your wonderful website with all the useful info, beautiful pictures and great recommendations. I did go through many of your articles but I still wanted to ask you for an advice.
I’m doing an alta Via 2 on July 8th, prior to that I will do a Hut-To-Hut Traverse Across Tre Cime Nature Park from July 1st to 4th,. But I also have a week in Austria from June 24th to June 30th, and I want to plan another track. I don’t want it to be too easy nor too difficult, because I don’t want to exhaust myself.
If you were to choose one track in Austria for 5-7 days, prior to the tracks I mentioned, which one would it be ?
I was looking at Grossglockner loop, do you think it’s a good track ? Or should I do a Ratikon Hight trail instead? Or maybe Schladming loop? ( or will it be to early for the last track?)
Thank you for your time!

In reply to Sally. Hi Sally, Glocknerhaus: Gletscherstraße, 6844 Heiligenblut. You can easily find the location in Google Maps.

Hello, is there an address that can help me find more information about the hike you mentioned starting Glocknerhaus to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe? GPS coordinates? Parking Lot address? Thanks!
