Local Museum Kals am Grossglockner

The old school building of Kals am Grossglockner houses the local museum which is dedicated to the life in the Kalser valley. Life was hard, nature was adamant. The exhibited objects allow us to dive into the daily life of farmers in former times.

Photographs, tools, coins but also musical instruments as well as the old church clock of Kals or an ancient "Russkuchl" kitchen (a kitchen where you cooked on an open flame) can be visited in the museum.

A part of the museum of course is dedicated to the highest mountain of Austria, the Grossglockner (3,798 m a.s.l.). It was climbed for the first time in 1800 and has become since then a famous destination among alpinists. In the museum you will discover which equipment was used at that time and how alpine guides brought guests on the mountain. In front of the Local Museum Kals am Grossglockner, in the Glocknerhaus, you can visit the permanent exhibition "Under the spell of the Grossglockner"with a combined ticket.
