This is a stunning location found in Austria’s countryside. It is no ordinary road; it runs near the Grossglockner, Austria’s highest mountain. Thanks to the country’s brilliant infrastructure the roads are pretty much immaculate, making it perfect for car scenes. The management are open and flexible when it comes to cooperation. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is astonishingly winding, because of the major elevation changes along its route. Passing through tunnels and visitor areas, it runs past the most typical Alpine locations. It offers panoramas of beautiful, lush grassy meadows with the Austria’s highest mountains in the background.
