About Grossglockner High Alpine Road and the Edelweißspitze from Pokhorn
The ride to Edelweißspitze from Pokhorn takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. It is a busy road and people come from all over the world to enjoy the scenery. There are three climbs on this ride. A long, a short, and a climb on cobblestones. In between, there are some nice descends with amazing views. The first climb takes you up to the 'Hochtor Pass' at 2,504 m (8,215 ft). From the pass, you go through a tunnel and have a nice long descend. The next climb takes you up to 'Fuscher Törl' from where you can enjoy the view of the glaciers. After a small descend you get to the last climb. It is steep, it is in thin air and it is on cobblestones. Once you get to the top you have made it to the highest peak reachable by road bike in the Alps, the Edelweißspitze. Grossglockner High Alpine Road has been used by bike races such as Giro d'Italia, Tour of Austria, and the yearly Glocknerkönig Bike Day.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we have not added any music and why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing.
