Day One |
We drive to Dover for the short Channel crossing to Calais. Upon arrival, we continue to the Sunday Hotel Saarbrücken Süd for dinner and our overnight stay. |
Day Two |
Continue into Austria arriving in Mayrhofen for our 5-night stay at Neue Post Hotel. |
Day Three |
Full day to Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol where we have free time to see the main sights including the historic old town with its legendary Golden Roof, the Hofburg, former imperial residence of the ruling Habsburgs. |
Day Four |
We start today with a scenic journey from Mayrhofen to the Tyrolean Farm Museum, where 37 reconstructed historic wooden buildings recreate Tyrolean life in pre-industrial times. After time in delightful Rattenberg, famous for its glassware, for lunch and shopping, we ride a train along the nostalgic, narrow-gauge Zillertal Railway this afternoon: travelling through glorious scenery from Fügen to Mayrhofen before returning to our hotel. |
Day Five |
Today is ours to relax and enjoy beautiful Mayrhofen and the countryside around it. We can enjoy the leisure facilities at our hotel, which include a superb indoor pool, sauna, and steam bath; or discover the pretty resort and the spectacular Ziller Valley as we wish |
Day Six |
This morning we embark on the Achenseebahn, Europe's oldest cog railway, which is still steam operated. Puffing through the steeper sections, it rises to a 16% gradient from Jenbach to Seespitz. From here we re-join our coach for the short journey to the resort town of Pertisau. We enjoy time at leisure before relaxing on a one-way cruise from Pertisau to the northern shores of lovely Lake Achensee. |
Day Seven |
Depart Austria, travel into Germany for dinner and our overnight stay at the Sunday Hotel Saarbrücken Süd. |
