INNSBRUCK AIR TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Above the Alpine Crown: A Flight to the Großglockner
A roughly two-hour air tour from Innsbruck that flies as close as possible to Austria’s highest peak, the Großglockner (3,798 m), for uncompromised alpine perspectives.
Above the Alpine Crown: A Flight to the Großglockner.
From the general-aviation apron in Innsbruck you climb into thin, cold air and track east toward Austria’s tallest summit: the Großglockner, 3,798 meters. The Top of Austria flight is designed to put the mountain—and the sweeping Tyrolean ridgelines that lead to it—within close aerial view, an experience stitched between high-altitude panoramas and the hush of open sky.
