Included excursions
Drive Grossglockner High Alpine Road
1 / 5
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is Austria’s most spectacular mountain route, winding through soaring peaks and culminating at the Hohe Tauern National Park. We’ll enjoy breathtaking views of lush valley and glaciers sparkling in the sunshine. Plus there'll be plenty of stop-offs for history lessons and opportunities to capture the fairytale surrounds on camera.
Visit Europe's highest falls
1 / 5
There are more incredible photo opportunities today, as we journey through Hohe Tauern National Park to the breathtaking Krimml Waterfalls. Austria’s highest at 380 meters, they’re a natural wonder surrounded by clouds of mist, sprawling pine forest and mountain peaks. There are multiple viewpoints to choose from to soak up the beauty from alternate angles.
Shop for glass wares in Rattenburg
1 / 5
Rattenberg, Austria’s smallest town, is a medieval gem known for its glassmaking heritage. We’ll visit the Kisslinger Glassblowing Shop to get a fascinating glimpse into traditional craftsmanship, with live demonstrations of the exquisite handmade glass art. There’s time for some souvenir shopping in the beautiful gift store afterwards.
Explore Mozart's birthplace
1 / 5
With its forested surroundings and palatial architecture, the riverfront city of Salzburg is like something out of a storybook. It’ll come as no surprise then, that it served as the setting for multiple scenes in romance, The Sound of Music. We’ll visit the movie locations on our walking tour, and take in the baroque facades and medieval alleyways in its UNESCO-listed Old Town. We'll also learn about Mozart, who was born in the old town.
Discover the 'devil's holes' of alpine country
1 / 5
Legend has it, the mysterious caves and rock formations in Austria’s alpine regions are the work of the devil, who created these holes to deceive humans. We’ll see the eerie natural features for ourselves today, close to the picturesque village of Dienten – a blend of traditional wooden chalets in the foothills of the Hochkönig mountain range.
