Wonderful day and views on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, and on little hikes next to it. The road climbs up to 2500 meters above sea level, and yes we packed the snow chains, but when we reached the highest pass after noon, we didn‘t need them. Glad to have them ready, but also glad every time we do not need them, because putting them on the wheels is a pain for me.
Day 2/14 on our road trip with no route, no destination and no stress.
Oh, this is lovely, Mona! I sympathise regarding the snow chains. When we lived in Pau we often went to the hills early in the morning for skiing, sometimes before the plough had passed. We always had chains in the car, but like you I always hoped we wouldn't need them! They are not easy to put on and your hands get very cold! Conversely, the more you have to do it, the easier it gets! Ha ha. You can't win!
