About the Event

Conquer one of cycling's most legendary alpine climbs at the 29. Glocknerkönig on June 7, 2026. This iconic event offers the unique privilege of racing up the car-free Großglockner High Alpine Road, presenting two epic challenges: the Classic route (27.3km, 1,672m ascent) to the Fuscher Törl and the even more demanding Ultra (28.9km, 1,815m ascent) to the Edelweißspitze at 2,571 meters. Open to all riders without a license, it's a pure test of endurance, willpower, and strength against gradients of 10-12%, rewarded with breathtaking panoramas at every turn. More than just a race, it's a pilgrimage for cyclists, where the shared struggle and unparalleled mountain scenery forge an unforgettable experience and a powerful community spirit. Registration opens in mid-December—secure your chance to become part of the legend and claim your personal crown on Austria's most majestic road.
