Malta Hochalmstrasse (alpine road)

Joey_T · 09-26-2010, 08:43 AM

On Wednesday I went from work a bit earlier and headed to the highest dam in Austria, which is called Maltatal. The dam is at the end of the Malta high alpine road and the scenery there is just stunning. Here are few pics for you to have a look at:

Nice stripes on car, if I can see good!

Dackelone · 09-27-2010, 03:22 AM

Nice photos & nice car!

This place is very close to the GrossGlockner Pass. Actually its hard to go wrong in this area for good alpine roads. Its in a national park area.

Here are some pics of teh GrossGlockner Pass - from back in July.

Thx for nice comments

The roads in this area are indeed very nice. I've been to Grossglockner last year and it is beautiful up there. Plan to do it again this year

@goeslikeschnell: Sure, I'll send you high-res pics.

All you mountain driving guys never mention how well the turbos work at altitude. Guess I'll have to get to Colorado and find out, but probably next summer.

Performance stripes...

Obviously with higher altitudes power decreases, but turbos still do their job well

Very nice photoshoot! Thanks for posting

Dackelone · 09-27-2010, 09:27 PM

I think a turbo motor only loses a few % as your altitude goes higher up the Berg! A NA motor looses much more HP than a turbo motor does. I wanna say something like 10% loss vs 2% for a turbo motor - as altitude increases.

Btw... does anyone know of any other good mountain alpine roads in this area? The Alps. I want to go drive the old Brenner (brenno) pass or maybe some other old mountain pass road! Any ideas before the snow starts to fall and they close these roads down for the winter months? Stelvio pass is on my list - of must drives!

i really dislike anyone who lives in countries where the roads look like these......

actually, i really love these people and request that they let me borrow their cars and draw me maps when i do my next euro vacation

The angel eyes are actually the stock ones, but picture is a bit desaturated. I had led angels on for few days, but took them off because they were heating too much for my likes. That's how they looked:
