Set on the legendary Grossglockner

glockna: in the fast lane since 1999

Arrive, find yourself, enjoy life. That’s Helmut and Nicole’s goal for glockna. For it to be a place where the world seems to slow. Where you can ease off the accelerator – or put your foot down. Where the food tastes great and you enjoy the sleep that you deserve.

It all began with an inn on the
Grossglockner High Alpine Road

1999

In 1999, Helmut bought the Bärenwirt inn in Fusch on the Grossglockner Road. A traditional place, a small village, a legendary road right on the doorstep. Over the years, what was once an inn evolved into an idea – and that idea has become what glockna is today. Step by step. With passion, clarity, and an instinct for finding the right path.

And a whole lot of passion

We like to do things our own way. Down-to-earth, honest, and with that touch of stubbornness that’s so typical for people from Pinzgau – and that got us to where we are today. glockna didn’t develop from a business plan, but from a genuine desire to create a place where people feel at home. As a guest. As a person. With everything a holiday home needs.

We preserve the past without standing still. We’re open to new ideas without forgetting our roots. And we believe that, sometimes, the world should just slow down a bit. Even when you shift up a gear. glockna is our contribution to this.
