Some of you are heading for The Alps this summer and may be interested in what is involved in getting a High Pass ready for opening.

Due to open by May 1st (as is Nockalmstraße), work commenced clearing The Großglockner on April 13th.

You can follow their progress on their FaceBook Page:

or better still, follow it on our FaceBook Page Very Happy

For the next few days their progress can be seen on these Panomax Cams.

You can zoom in on an area. They are currently just below Bikers Point on the North Side. A team is also working its way up from the south.

When you can see them on this Panomax, their work is nearly done Smile

The big blue Rotary Plows are between 50 and 60 years old and still going strong. They are supplemented by equipment being tested by the manufacturer Steyr.
