Castles and Peaks of Salzburg
On this trip you will get to see some of the Alps‘ excellent castles, glaciers and unique mountain views.
Suggested Programme
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Surrounded by the lakes and mountains of the picturesque Salzkammergut region, Salzburg is certainly one of the most magnificent cities in the world.
A city guide can introduce you to the city‘s highlights before you visit Hohensalzburg Fortress, the largest fortress in Austria.
This unmistakable landmark, with its eyecatching baroque towers peaking out high above the city, provides the city‘s world famous silhouette.
Travelling to Werfen, and the spectacular Hohenwerfen Fortress, where visitors have a high-altitude encounter with the past.
The castle dates back over 900 years and the feathered hunters of the province‘s falconry, the dashing weaponry, the museum and the castle‘s dark corners, all enhance your visit.
Kaprun is where you take the cable car up to the highest point in the Salzburg region, the „Kitzsteinhorn“. Join a tour with your personal ranger on top of the mountain and discover fascinating insights into, and views of, the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Also worth a visit is the lakeside town of Zell am See for a stroll along the promenade or take a short boat ride on the beautiful lake.
Travel to the highest mountain of Austria, the Grossglockner. With an altitude of 3,798m the Grossglockner is also one of the highest peaks of the Alps. From the Franz Josephs Höhe you have a magnificent view of the glacier.
Your journey along this famous 48 kilometre long alpine road, with 36 bends, leads you into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National park and to the Pasterze Glacier. You will pass through a unique world of flowering alpine meadows, fragrant forests, spectacular cliffs and eternal ice.
Depart for your trip home after breakfast.
