Everything focuses on the Großglockner!
Many prestigious events attract visitors to Bruck am Großglockner in the beautiful Salzburg Pinzgau region against the backdrop of the largest mountain in Austria, so as a guest of our Sporthotel, you truly have a ringside seat! While thousands of cyclists are battling it out for the title of “Glocknerkönig” (Glockner king) in early June, highly polished rare vehicles are on show at the “Oldtimer-Traktor WM”, the vintage tractor world championships. By contrast, you will enjoy the traditional Bruck harvest festival (“Brucker Bauernherbst”) with lots of music, culinary delicacies and colourful “Almabtriebe”, the ceremonial driving down of cattle from the mountain pastures into the valley in Autumn.
