    INCLUDED EXCURSIONS


    Wendelstein Rack Railway
    Full Day: Wendelstein Rack Railway

    Our trip today takes us across the border to Bavaria in Germany. We will join the Wendelstein Rack Railway at its origin in Brannenburg for the 25 minute ride to the summit of Wendelstein. Sit back, relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery! You will enjoy spectacular and sometime precarious views as the train climbs 1,217 metres through seven tunnels, eight galleries and twelve bridges to the 1,838 metre high mountain summit. At the top visit the highest church in Germany, or take the 20 minute walk up to the very top of the mountain for an absolutely breath taking panorama of the Alps.

    Zillertalbahn
    Full Day: Zillertal Train

    A chance today to enjoy superb views of the majestic mountains as your steam train chugs at a leisurely pace along the beautiful Ziller Valley. We'll travel from Jenbach to Mayrhofen, on this nostalgic narrow guage railway, so you can sit back and relax as the scenery passes us by.

    Achenseebahn train
    Half Day: Achensee Train

    Travel on Europe’s oldest steam-driven rack and pinion railway and take in the surrounding scenery as it elegantly climbs to the edge of Lake Achensee, referred to as the 'Fjord of the Tyrol'. We will stop for a chance to enjoy a stroll in pretty Pertisau, where the quaint chalet-style houses are dwarfed by the surrounding Karwendel Alps, one of the oldest protected areas in the Eastern Alps.

    OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS


    Innsbruck
    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.

    Kitzbuhel
    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.
    Rattenberg
    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.
