Day 2 - Grossglockner High Alpine Road
Journey to Austria’s highest mountain, the Grossglockner. We’ll travel around 36 hairpin turns, passing waterfalls, lakes, colourful meadows, green pastures and peaks. A feat of 1930s engineering and through the toil of over 4,000 workers, the Alpine Road stretches like a ribbon across 48km of the mountains to Austria’s largest National Park - Tauren. We’ll stop at the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe viewpoint over the glacier, where the Habsburg emperor once stood, and discover some fascinating history. There’ll be time too for photographs at the fairytale setting of Fuscher Lake. We’ll return via picturesque Heiligenblut and Lienz.

Day 4 - Krimml Waterfalls - Rattenberg - Brixen im Thale
We travel to the phenomenal Krimml Waterfalls. Shrouded by mist and viridescent pine forests, there are several viewpoints to enjoy the thundering spectacle of Europe’s highest falls. We’ll then head to the lovely medieval town of Rattenberg and Kisslinger glassblowing shop, where demonstrations of their centuries-old techniques can be seen alongside beautiful creations.

Day 6 - Salzburg
We’ll spend the day exploring magical Salzburg. Gaze upon the Alpine backdrop of enchanting city steeped in rich cultural heritage - perfect for art and music aficionados. We take a guided tour of the city - known as Mozart’s birthplace - that rises majestically from the banks of the Salzach River. There’s a heady mix of baroque domes and spires, as well as the imposing clifftop Hohensalzburg Fortress - one of the oldest medieval castles in Europe. We take a walk around the Old Town with grandiose architecture and the UNESCO-listed historical centre. We’ll also see some of the filming locations for ‘The Sound of Music’, as well as learn more about composer Mozart’s life and work. The afternoon is free for more exploring. Perhaps you’ll head to the stunning gardens of Mirabellgarten and admire the baroque splendour of a city planned by the ruling prince-archbishops. Or maybe you might want to grab a beer and Wiener schnitzel and just soak in the atmosphere in the Old Town.

Afterwards, we’ll make our way to the quaint village of Dienten, with a ruggedly romantic ambience. We’ll learn fascinating folklore and the legend of ‘devil holes’. We’ll finish off our half-day tour with a slice of cake and coffee in the fairytale town of Maria Alm set in the foothills of the Steineres Meer mountains, and peek at the pretty pilgrimage church. After returning to Zell am See, the afternoon is free for more exploring or relaxing.
