Don't forget, that if you want, for symbolic purposes, to ride the road in it's entirety, that the road historically begins in the town center of Bruck, at Gasthof Lukashansl on the Salzach Bridge, location of the zero milestone. Milestone 1 is at the junction with the B311 federal road. You should be OK with the weather although the road won't have been open that long depending on severity of the coming winter. Make a note of their telephone number (available from the Glockner website) and telephone ahead if there is any doubt.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
first time ive been on a organised trip so to speak and really looking forward to it thanks for the tip alan and we look forward to meeting up with you pdiddy i hope there's no delays with the new water cooled
Personally I think the nearby Gerlos pass is a better biking road, too many slow cars / coaches / push bikes on the Grossglockner. There's a great view point about halfway up the Gerlos pass that looks over to the Krimml Waterfalls.

Heading that way next year, 3 nights near the Grossglockner after 4 nights in the Dolomites.
Prices seem reasonable, for two we normally pay £50 - £60 for basic B&B at Pensions (Like a Guest House) and £70 - £80 at hotels, occasionally managing to get a meal thrown in for not much more. Factor in a £70 crossing and that seems like a pretty sweet deal.
Paying about £85 (104 Euro's) for Bed Breakfast and Evening meal in the Dolomites at Al Forte this year, which looks like stunning value

Generally you get a lot more for your money with Alpine Hotels than you do in the UK, looking for a nice Hotel in Devon recently and prices were about£250 a night for gaffs that did not look this good - and meals were extra!
Grab a copy of the Motorcyle Journeys book to wet your apetite before you go

Last time I stopped at the Waldorf, the price was for all inclusive, that's breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with cake, dinner and the house beer / wine -
I'll be there
