Rossfeld Panoramastrasse

About

Run the 15.4 km Rossfeld Panoramastrasse, Austria’s highest scenic drive carved into the Berchtesgaden Alps. The route winds through towering peaks, azure valleys, and historic high‑altitude ridges, offering spectacular viewpoints of the Salzach valley, the Tennen‑ and Hagengebirge ranges, and iconic landmarks such as Kehlsteinhaus and Watzmann. Along the way, visitors can stop at well‑maintained parking spots, explore nearby mountain huts and kiosks, and experience the very film locations of classics like “The Sound of Music” and “Indiana Jones”. Whether you’re a nature lover, a motorbike enthusiast, or a family looking for a memorable road excursion, the Rossfeld Panoramastrasse delivers unforgettable panoramas and easy access to hiking trails, ski resorts and traditional Bavarian cuisine. The road is a toll‑driven Bundesprivatstraße with fees ranging from €9.50 for cars to €60 for buses, and a special 10‑pass available for both cars (€73) and motorcycles (€45). The route is open all year, with parking available at multiple viewing points along the sequence of peaks. Peak summer and early autumn months, from May to September, offer the best weather for clear mountain views and light driving conditions.
