Experience the mountains
ACTIVE HOLIDAYS IN SUMMER
The area around the Großglockner invites you to get outdoors at any time of year, whether on foot, by bike or climbing - here you feel particularly close to the mountains. The 250 km network of hiking trails starts directly from the resort. The free cable car is a more comfortable option. Guided excursions with national park rangers and mountain tours are part of the weekly programme, and you can book a mountain guide for alpine adventures.
Free summer summit ticket
As a Gradonna guest, you can enjoy free cable car rides with the summit ticket during the summer opening hours - for comfortable ascents and magnificent views.
For more challenging mountain tours, we recommend that you contact a professional mountain guide. Unique and unforgettable mountain and climbing experiences are guaranteed thanks to the careful and solid training and many years of experience in alpine terrain of the state-certified mountain guides from Kals - from the Grossglockner ascent to climbing tours, ice climbing or tours in high alpine terrain.

Whether it's a barefoot hike, animal watching as part of a hike with a national park ranger from the Hohe Tauern National Park sunrise hike or the King's Tour on the Großglockner - these are just a few of the many moments of happiness that can be experienced on holiday at the Gradonna ****s Mountain Resort. The Gradonna stories of the travel portal "Reise-Stories", a collection of articles by professional journalists, will whet your appetite for a summer holiday in the mountains, because here you can experience first-hand how Gradonna guests experience special moments on holiday.
Guided barefoot hikes, for example, are a hiking experience for all the senses and an exercise in mindfulness. Feeling the fresh dew of the alpine meadow under your toes in the morning, breathing in the clear mountain air, strolling across mossy forest floors, stepping into a cool mountain stream and feeling really grounded. A special experience that will stay with you for a long time and is worth telling.
