Finding Europe's Best Driving Road! [06:00am In The Alps]

Check out my podcast, Behind The Glass (The UK's Number 1 Automotive Podcast)
/ behindtheglass
I take my new Jaguar F-Type R to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria. This is one of the most famous and best roads in the Alps, but one I have never driven so I wake up early to check it out.

One of the only channels that I will intentionally sit down to watch a new video in the morning. Love all the work you and the team put out, can't wait for the GT3 content to start later in the year!

[@evns7142]

Agreed! The GT3 content is going to be mega.

[@vedelcarby773]

This guy is a top you tuber

[@garrettcicuto]

Totally agree. I do the same.

[@mso008]

He's so likeable and cinematography is awesome.

[@natbarron]

💯☕️

[@DiscoticUK]

The scenery may be spectacular but it takes a skilled person to capture and convey it as well as you have. Seriously impressive production! I'm going to have to watch this more than once!

[@MR.RICKVWYBRAIN]

🚩🔱🇮🇳🔥⚔️🛡

[@SuperTobbe12]

This is my new goal in life, to drive up this stunning road. Incredible video as always Sam, cinematic masterpiece😍

[@spicynugget_0294]

So did you do it?

[@albert_zweistein7196]

did you do now

[@SimplyChrono]

Did you it?

[@maxflame21]

Sam, Ive been watching your channel and podcast for years, but I drifted away from the content a couple years back. The reasoning is, as you described on the podcast, the feeling of chasing KZbin's algorithm. However, over the last six months your content has became next level and almost addictive. Brilliant work and I'm excited for your next adventure!

[@frederickontour1478]

I was watching this video with the KZbin app on my tv. It was spectacular. So spectacular I had to log in to my phone and leave a comment saying this (because you cannot comment with the tv app) Epic!

[@BeBarnee]

Beautiful video! I love this place! I remember coming here when I was 10 years old. The top of the road was covered with snow even in August, and the Glacier ran all the way down. It's kinda sad to see how little of it is left, but what can you do. I can attest that during daytime the road can be really busy, so it's best to go up really early or really late for the sunset.

[@gandalfkenobi007]

What an experience! Well worth the early start, thank you for taking us along. Bring on more adventures!

[@ppppoooooooopppppppp]

Have sent it to my wife we are defintely doing that drive, I was looking for an excuse to got to Austria in the summer. Thanks Sam as always stunning

[@standardh_]

Stopping so often for photos reminds me of hiking in Yosemite. Just when you thought you have the best view, you hike another 100 yards and it’s better, and then again in another 100 yards. So good.

[@jameshampton8730]

Thanks Sam. We were there in 2018 and we still remember each curve. Great video. Great views. Fun day. Thanks for sharing

[@petewatson4093]

Patreon Pete here Sam Loved the video, you've definitely "influenced" me to get over there! Bravo 👏

[@mannski7269]

Epic road, wow! Makes me want to go back to Austria again. The drones shots were next level Sam. Great work! Cheers from Ontario, Canada

[@tkmaxism]

Don’t normally comment, but this is next level Sam. Bravo.

[@JMossyman]

A terrific video Sam. I drive the same road a few years ago in a friend’s 458 Spider. He’s sadly not with us now so some great memories 🙏

[@ElvinMarco]

I've been driving there back in June. Absolutely stunning!

[@andrewjohnson5161]

Sam, those are Alpine Marmots at 9:00 - related to various marmots, (aka gophers/groundhogs, too, in parts of the US) in open habitats around the world (alpine, grassland, and tundra). Thanks for sharing a lovely morning!!

[@paulpatterson7512]

The quality of these videos is superb. An absolute gulf in class between this and kids in Balenciaga tshirts holding iphones at arms length shouting about straight pipe exhausts and wraps. Hard work pays off Sam👍

[@robertdouglas5926]

That is probably the best cinematography I’ve seen you do yet Sam. Bravo!

[@cornevanzyl4172]

Love the Gross Glockner... one of the most amazing roads I've ever had the privilege to drive on.

[@Racelinekarting]

Dunno how you do it Sam, but you keep making your videos better and better. They were already the best on KZbin and here you are raising the game even further.

[@seenthroughglass]

Wow, thank you!

[@scenicdrivesscandinavia7988]

Epic roads! Just love these videos where the scenery is the main focus!

[@seenthroughglass]

Glad you like them!

[@TheVoiceblast]

one of your greatest videos, I must admit !

[@GregoryTKint]

Watched this on my smartphone a first time during the day. Now watching it again on my TV... The footage is just too stunning not to watch it on a big screen.

[@kaydesign]

Stylish combo; beautiful Jag, amazing scenery! I hope to do this once in my 1967 Mustang (when it’s finished : )

[@allanpeterson3358]

Sam take care of yourself! Love you and your videos!

[@bernhard1360]

such a fantasic video about a road i know well. beautifully captured

[@Joshkemponcars]

Awesome video Sam! 🙌🏼 live this kind of content, keep them coming

[@amessad]

Hey Sam the fact that you can drive on European roads sitting on the "wrong" side of the car AND STILL enjoy it always amazes me!!!! Great vid man!

[@mattmorris2867]

What a knob.

[@mattmorris2867]

What a knob.

[@tonymoreton7166]

Mind blowing how you manage to put footage like this together. Just mind blowing!

[@shandyholliday]

Sam, you continue to produce the best auto content on the web. Much better than the some of other UK content that is purely advertisement content. Awesome.

[@semikolon6440]

Love the mix of b-roll and raw driving footage

[@jameshblack]

This is now on my MUST DO LIST

[@gothychris]

Mate loved this video. Best content on KZbin right now!

[@mattacres937]

Another fantastic video beautifully filmed I always make time to watch them brilliant channel.

[@Jaybop20]

That B-Roll 👌. These are the best videos to watch. Epic roadtrips in awesome cars in the mountains.

[@jayhinchliffe5020]

OMG these cinematics 😍 The only channel that mixes cars with view like this

[@metalgearbas4]

You're rapidly becoming one of my favourite carchannels man. Besides the obviously incredible productionvalue, the great cars and drives, there's something else about your videos. Something that breaaathes and ooooozes car-enthusiast, something that I recognize my own inner-child in, my own car-fanatic. Watching your videos always makes me want to get into my car and drive, and that's the core of what a carvideo really should be about I think. Keep it up!

[@2bunphettered788]

4:43 min - only Sam and Harry Metcalfe have segments in their uploads where they're driving and there's no talking or music. Perfect. 👍

[@olivierdelmas-allsopp5183]

Hi Sam, It reminds me of very fond memories as I did exactly the same road with a Jaguar F type R in 2018. What a place! what a car!

[@wouternagengast8452]

Epic scenery, but also epic Cinematography, great work Sam!!

[@RAZGR1Z]

Sam, you've outdone yourself this time! Absolutely stunning cinematography and a great drive! Love the spec of the F-Type.

[@DestroyerGT]

Having been there the last 3 summers with my SLK, this video, as good as it is (and it is very good) doesn't do it justice. I agree with you, you really have to go there yourself. On a small note: the Edelweißspitze is actually the highest point at 2500+ meters and the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe (the place next to the glacier) is slightly lower at 2300+ meters.

[@dailydriven991]

I wasn’t sure about the color at first but man that F Type is gorgeous

[@shaunwalford3534]

I spent 2 days driving this road in October last year, it was absolutely insane! Well worth the journey!

[@snakewad123]

Well done Sam. Been watching you for years I'm 28 and it's nice to see a young guy happy and doing what he loves due to his own dedication / obsession. Your low key inspirational. Just grinding week after week making the content you want to make . 🙏

[@bensmusic1]

Even in my lowest of Days -I can sit and watch Seen through glass....feels my heart with glee. Love the energy, views, information and cars

[@Simon_PieMan]

I recently bought a P450 so love following your F-Type travels.

[@mikeowen1819]

Thank you so much Sam. We were in Salzburg a few years ago in May and this was on our itinerary but it was still closed due to snow. Thankfully the website has a live feed and tells you if it's likely to be closed or open for the day so we were spared a wasted journey. However, I was bitterly disappointed to have missed out and now... well I'm in two minds. I've now seen what we missed (so thank you) but am also more determined than ever to get back to see it again!!!

[@Coffeedrinkerer]

Loving the content on this channel in combination with the podcasts. They’re both evolving into something that is a big part of my routines. You don’t waste my time, and whilst I recognise this is your business that needs ads etc I don’t feel like it’s a sales pitch all the time like some KZbinrs. I think you’ve struck the perfect balance. I don’t want to criticise other KZbinrs but TGE nowadays is almost comical with the level of ads and sponsors it makes me feel like I’m watching a contestant ad. This is the honest and entertaining automotive content I really enjoy! So thanks!

[@steph4156]

Awesome stuff Sam, best channel on KZbin by far, very relaxing as well

[@mk.h]

indeed ❤ morning drives. Dusk is absolutely gorgeous.

[@vishnun9183]

Great video man keep up the good work . It feels so nice to see people use their cars .

[@RemiPut]

Always like your road trip video's Sam !!! You nailed it !!👍

[@quality1mario876]

The open top is menacing. awesome scenery.

[@pauluden5624]

I remembered being blown away by that road on my motorbike some good ten years ago , must go back !! Awesome video Sam , you did the road justice 👌

[@abrarhuda4291]

Been following STG for a good 5 years now, i swear, the content just keeps on getting better & better!

[@DenisQuentinSimon]

Oh my god, the opening drone shot ! This is magnificent ! The quality of this channel is just amazing. I can’t wait for GT3 content !

[@michaeldiguglielmo7324]

That was so enjoyable to watch. So much more entertaining than a boring drive on an autobahn and around a certain German race track like other you tubers .Beautifully filmed and edited . Great job

[@paultaylor9652]

Got to be one of your best video's Sam, I imagine not many of us will ever get the chance to drive this road, so a BIG THANKS for this one, you did good.

[@mrrs1113]

Scenery in those parts is indeed mind blowing!! Thank you for a fantastic piece of cinematic perfection ✌ and love the genuine passion you have for... cars, roads, coffee and sweets 😅

[@davidpalmer908]

You are head and shoulders above the others. Your work ethic is incredible. respect.

[@nerowolf8006]

These are honestly my favorite kinds of videos from you. A great car on an epic roadtrip. Youre a travel and car channel in one and thats why youre one of my favorites

[@HR_Breeding]

I love watching your amazing videos 😍👍

[@EconomicsMate1]

Gives me old Top Gear Vibes when Clarkson, May and Hammond were searching for the greatest driving road in their track focused supercars. I did a similar adventure in a C43 AMG cabrio on the most amazing roads in Australia

[@stewartparsons50]

what amazing driving roads in australia did you do? Id love to go on a trip like this!

[@EconomicsMate1]

@@stewartparsons50 for starters, the south coast of NSW from Sydney is amazing as it is. The roads through the mountains and hills are very scenic and the roads are great. But you want to try the more mountenous areas around the Great dividing range and the ocean roads for the best experience. Once you go outside the major cities in any state really is where you'll find the best roads

[@natbarron]

Wish I could grab a coffee with you Sam - you seem like a genuine, down to earth bloke.

[@irvb9881]

Beautiful roads, scenery and camerawork - but oh my god, the glacier 😱.

[@Jay-tc9on]

Another fantastic video! You manage to blend the scenery, travel, food and driving in together so well. Top notch as always.

[@TVR-Steve]

One of "Those" perfect drives where everything just lined up. Incredible video, stunning shots, fantastic car and a great audio mixing to bring the engine noise in as much as possible. A truly outstanding car video for us petrolheads, thank you.

[@SalomOon01]

Amazing video Sam! What an incredible road that is, you did a great job with drones and go pros it’s like we are there with you! Next level content, as always. Keep the adventures coming! 🤩

[@juanpablodelgado2227]

I love this kind of content on you’re channel

[@lanceuppercut7436]

Really enjoyed being taken along for the ride Sam. Excellent video. Have to say, I also enjoyed all the different driving camera angles you captured also.👌🏻👌🏻. Bravo mate. Spot on.👍🏻

[@_Jester_]

Try some of the passes in Switzerland: Furka, Nufenen, Stelvio, St. Bernadino - just to name a few. They don't cost a cent and are just epic.

[@andrewflynn382]

Amazing video Sam. Love the cinematography to capture the beauty of the scenery. The sound of that V8 is pretty special too.

[@per-martingrambo4379]

Glorious. Fantastic filming. Some day soon I will have to buy myself this old Porsche and join the spectacle. You're certainly influencing me...

[@eliotmead6943]

Absolutely stunning cinematography Sam!! And the brown coloured F-type really suits the scenery - looks epic!

[@LemonJelly360]

Can we just have all of your videos shot in the Alps? It is the perfect backdrop and my absolute favourite place in the world.

[@martins6840]

Great video Sam, super footage and content, perfect for a little bit of escapism in between my own road trips. Keep doing what you do mate.

[@macman6777]

Best video this channel has produced! Well done Sam.

[@pedromeggiolaro]

Always the best cinematography. One of the best videos. Can't wait to see you doing this same road on your GT3!

[@DamienFalzon]

Hi Sam, really enjoy watching you videos especially videos like this one, if you could in the future include a list of the places you visit in the video description. Thanks 👍👍👍

[@kaiser9100]

I rode up this road in 2019 on my Triumph, I really don’t think really I appreciated it until watching this. Stunning.

[@markwatson4106]

What a video that is. Absolutely brilliant 👌

[@henilsavani]

The content is on another level in this one. Well done Sam!

[@spadgm]

Love your Jag, loved the scenery, another awesome vid!

[@Watchy771]

LOVED the tunnel shot in the end :)

[@alexkenny8275]

Cracking. Just cracking. Keep up the good work Sam!!!!

[@chrisdyson5513]

Totally absorbing video, spectacular scenery and the most professional production quality of any of your contemporaries. You really nail it with this type of content.

[@justgetoutanddrive]

Thanks Sam. This video inspired me to do an Alpine Roadtrip which I currently am on. The Grossglockner was epic! I now have many more to do and many more revisits as I now have set up a car tour business. Thank you and keep doing what you do 👍

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

That place is amazing, I wish there was more video of it. Absolutely fantastic vlog. Keep up the good work.

[@sickjohnson]

Good to see you out and having some fun Sam!

[@atriseepersad929]

The automotive/ travel content we are here for! Kudos Sam!

[@cllris]

Cracking video Sam. Been watching your videos for many years and I'll be honest to admit I dip in and out (usually having a bit of a binge catch-up). Just want to say how much I appreciate videos like this where you are doing this completely solo. I imagine it can get quite lonely sometimes doing things like this so genuinely appreciate you sharing these adventures with us. Keep it up. We love it. ✌️

[@NorthernMan86]

Incredible video! You mix life, adventure and cars so well!

[@seenthroughglass]

Thank you very much!

[@maninchair6648]

Amazing 4K footage ! Great work Sir.

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks a lot!

[@hassanm7696]

Your videos. Have simply been amazing.

[@matallison7314]

Amazing video, Sam! I don't often comment, but just wanted to say this video was stunning. Amazing editing and just made my morning. And now I have to get to that road. :)

[@88SteffenW]

Great video, Sam! I really appreciate the quality of your content recently! I realize it's hard work.

[@Agi_.]

The shots you have captured are seriously amazing. One of my fav videos for sure. I’m so excited for all the upcoming gt3 videos fyi

[@weaponizedmaddness2700]

Probably one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. Enjoyed every moment. Keep up the most amazing work. Can't wait to see you when you finally do a podcast in Ireland.

[@donalobrien5611]

Sam, you are knocking it out of the park with your content at the moment! Loving Behind The Glass with Tony as well. Keep doing what you are doing 👊
