AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this excellent drone video of a famous mountain pass in the Austrian Alps, compliments of brand-new AirVuz contributor and pilot Mike Traveljunkie. It's called the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, and it connects two towns in the states of Salzburg and Carinthia, respectively. With a peak elevation of 2.5k meters above sea level (around 8.2k ft.), it's Austria's highest mountain pass. It's named after the nearby Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria and the highest in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass.
