Enquiry & Service
The Glocknerkönig is a cycling event for everyone. It takes place on the first Sunday of June, on the Großglockner High Alpine Road (from 7:00 until 10:30) , which is kept traffic-free for the duration of the event. No licence is required to take part; the event is open to all, amateurs, professionals, and hobby athletes. There are joint classes for racing bikes and mountain bikes. The Ultra and Classic races start in the centre of Bruck, and the Light start is at the toll point in Ferleiten. The finish is the same for all and is at the Fuschertörl, 2445 m above sea level. Only those taking part in the Ultra race have to keep going all the way to the Edelweißspitze at a height of 2572 m.
The event takes place in a high mountain environment, so even if the weather is nice, you should expect cold temperatures on the journey down. Windbreakers, a hat under your bike helmet, gloves etc. are recommended. In bad weather, appropriate rain and cold protection are very important. For organisational reasons, it is not possible to offer a shuttle service down to the valley apart from for visitors who have travelled up by bus. The transport of bikes by bus into the valley is not possible.
The Glocknerkönig takes place whatever the weather, even if there is snow in the mountains. Relevant weather information will be given in the start area over the PA system. Participants can then decide themselves whether to take part or not. Weather forecasts are published by many online weather services in advance. In recent years such general weather information services have proved to be completely unreliable. Please take your information about the Glocknerkönig weather exclusively from this WEBSITE. The forecast is produced by serious weather services and from local people with mountain experience. In extremely foul weather conditions, the race organisers reserve the right to shorten the route, or cancel the event for reasons of safety of the participants. If such a case arises, entry money will not be refunded.
