Excursions & Extras

INCLUDED EXCURSIONS

Full Day: Wendelstein Rack Railway
Across the border to Bavaria, it's time for a ride on the Wendelstein Rack Railway. You will be amazed at the spectacular views as you travel through seven tunnels, eight galleries and twelve bridges to the 1,838 metre high mountain summit.

Full Day: Zillertal Train
A chance to enjoy superb views of the majestic mountains as your steam train chugs at a pleasant 15mph along the Ziller Valley, from Jenbach to the well-known resort of Mayrhofen.

Half Day: Achensee Train
Travel on Europe’s oldest steam-driven rack and pinion railway as it elegantly climbs to the edge of Lake Achensee, the largest and highest in the Tyrol. We will stop at Pertisau, where pretty chalet-style houses are dwarfed by the surrounding Karwendel Alps.

OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS

Full Day: Innsbruck
A charming city and the capital of the Tyrol, Innsbruck is surrounded by the high Alps and is a fantastic place to visit. It has plenty of charm thanks to its impressive architecture, including the splendid Golden Roof landmark. We continue and cross the border down into Italy, where we call at the historic town of Vipiteno, before returning back to our hotel.

Full Day: Krimml Falls and Kitzbuhl
Embark on a scenic journey through the Tyrol to see spectacular Krimml Falls, passing over the breath-taking peak of the Gerlos Pass, before visiting the charming resort of Kitzbuhel.

Half Day: Rattenberg
We’ll enjoy a day out in Rattenberg, where we’ll find idyllic charm and glorious views. The scenery is second-to-none here, with the huge Rat Mountain forming a backdrop to the town. There are lots of fun things to do, including shopping on the main street, where we’ll find numerous shops selling the crystal glass the town is famous for, one of which we’ll get to visit.
