Austria - Hallstatt to Innsbruck scenic drive
 

Our plan is to do a scenic drive on our way from Hallstatt to Innsbruck ( we would have already made the Salzburg to Hallstatt drive). We are looking into doing the Grossglockner Alpine Road and perhaps stay in a nearby area for one evening. We will then proceed to Innsbruck the following day.
Where should we stay after doing the Grosslocker drive? We would like to be in a picturesque town.
What scenic drive should we then take to Innsbruck?
Our goal is take in as much of the Austrian scenery.

Any suggestion for beautiful drives from Hallstatt to Innsbruck is appreciated.

I liked Zell am See at the other end of the Pinzgau valley when I was in that area. The lake is very pretty.

Hi,

I also suggest Zell am See. Pretty old town, gorgeous lakeside setting.

We liked our stay in 9/09 at the Pension Alpenrose

For a scenic drive from here to Innsbruck, go via Mittersill, the Gerlos Pass into the Zillertal and to Innsbruck.

www.viamichelin.com can give you the scenic route between the two points. Make sure that you add the Grossglocknerstraße as an intermediate point.
