PACKAGED ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival
We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner.
Day 2 Innsbruck and the Nordkettenbahn
Today we visit the Tyrolean capital city of Innsbruck, surrounded by the jagged rock spires of the Nordkette mountain range. We enjoy free time here to discover some of the most important sights, including the Hofgarten, the ornate 15th century Golden Roof designed as a royal box for the Emperor, the Column of Saint Anne and the Triumphal Arch. In the afternoon, we board the Nordkettenbahn to ascend to the summit of the Nordkette mountain range to enjoy the views while sipping a unique Cloud 9 cocktail.
Day 3 Igls Driver’s Day Off
We spend today at leisure in Igls. We may choose to embark on a scenic cable car ride up the mountain or take the bus for a 10 minute trip back to Innsbruck to further explore the Tyrolean capital.
Day 4 Achenseebahn & Boat Cruise
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 Achen, in Scholastika.
Day 5 Oberammergau, Ettal & Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Today we travel to the town of Oberammergau, home to the unique passion play. After enjoying free time here, we move on to the beautiful nearby Ettal Abbey for a visit before travelling to the Bavarian town of Garmisch- Partenkirchen, where we enjoy some time at leisure.
