Austrian Alps Adventure: The Glockner Tour Celebration

The Tour of Austria is a cycling race that has been held annually since 1949. In 2010, the race included a mountaintop finish at the famous Grossglockner. The Grossglockner is a mountain in the Austrian Alps and is the highest mountain in Austria, standing at 3,798 meters tall. The mountain is also a popular destination for mountaineering tours, with a 6-day hut to hut tour available for experienced climbers. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a 48-kilometer route that leads into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park with 36 hairpin bends and offers views of countless three-thousand-meter-high peaks, including the Grossglockner itself.

The road is a popular destination for hikers, mountaineers, ski tourers, motorcyclists, and road cyclists. The Tour of Austria celebrates its 10th birthday in 1958, and the rest day after the Glockner was canceled at that time. The article mentioned in the search results suggests that the Tour of Austria will also be a celebration for the guests on the Glockner, but it does not provide any further information on what this celebration entails.
