Day Four: Ziller Valley & Krimml Waterfalls
After a delightful breakfast at the hotel, we embark on a picturesque train ride through the breathtaking Ziller Valley - the widest valley south of the Inn Valley and gets its name from the Zillertal Alps, the glaciated section of the Alps in which it lies. As we step aboard the charming vintage train, we will be serenaded by the melodies of talented local musicians while taking in the breathtaking views. After a relaxed lunch break, we head to the nearby cascades in Krimml. The Krimml Waterfalls in Austria’s SalzburgerLand thunder down over a height of 380 metres (1,250 ft). After a short walk from the car park, we will hear the thundering of the crashing water and witness the air filled with white clouds of spray mist. After marvelling at the waterfalls and capturing memorable photographs, we'll make our way back to the hotel for dinner.

Today is a day of leisure and personal exploration, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Austrian Alps at our own pace.

Today we leave Austria to see the southern part of Tyrol in Italy. Our journey takes us through sensational landscapes, with a delightful stop for coffee in the picturesque town of Sterzing. After our stop, we continue our trip to Bolzano, for a guided tour of the provincial capital. Bolzano, a charming city nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps, offers an incredible cultural mix of Italian and German influences, delicious cuisine, contrasting architecture and stunning scenery. It is also home to Otzi the Iceman - a glacier mummy from the Copper Age who had been preserved in the glacier ice, with his clothing and equipment, discovered accidentally by hikers in 1991.

Day Seven: Ambras Castle and iconic Ski Jump 'Bergisel'
Our first stop today takes us to the splendid Ambras Castle. Here we will explore its opulent halls, adorned with exquisite artworks, ancient armour, and royal collections. With an audio guide as our companion, we delve into the fascinating stories and legends that surround this architectural marvel, gaining insights into the lives of the nobility who once inhabited its grand rooms. This afternoon, we will make our way to the iconic Ski Jump 'Bergisel' which by now has been established as an emblem of the city. Whilst here, we will ascend to the observation deck and relish in panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscapes. To celebrate this unforgettable experience, we raise a glass of sparkling wine before heading back to the hotel for a farewell dinner as a group.
