Fusch an der Glocknerstrasse | Salzburg <\/strong>\u2013 Since it has become a cherished tradition by now, this year, I once again rode up to the most famous mountain in Austria a few days after the Grossglockner High Alpine Road has been reopened. This time with the new Ducati Monster\u2026<\/p>\n

This year, snow clearance on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road began on 19th<\/sup> April, then on 12th<\/sup> May it was opened for traffic. For motorcyclists we got the go-ahead at the beginning of June. The ascent up to Austria\u2019s tallest mountain was the crowning glory of my test with the new Ducati Monster, which was supplied by the Seiwald Car and Motorcycle Centre<\/a> in St. Johann in Tirol (see my review here\u2026<\/a>). Due to the very unsafe weather conditions this year, I had already been keeping my eye on the weather forecast a few days before and then I managed to catch a great day.<\/p>\n
