Excursions
and visits
Ziller
Valley Railway and Mayrhofen (included).
Sit back and relax as an
old steam locomotive takes you through the panoramic Ziller
Valley. In operation since 1902, the Zillertal is one of Austria’s
most famous narrow railways. On arrival, you will have time
at leisure in the picturesque town of Mayrhofen, which nestles
at the end of the Ziller Valley.
Lake Achensee and the
Achenseebahn (optional).
By coach along the scenic
Alpenstrasse to the shore of the lovely Lake Achensee. Surrounded
by pine-clad slopes, you will have time at leisure to enjoy
the beautiful surroundings. You can also take an optional
cruise on the serene waters of the lake, and a ride on the
narrow gauge steam rack and pinion railway from Seespitz to
Jenbach, which offers amazing views of the area.
Golden Pass Railway
and Geneva (included).
Join our included ride
on the magnificent Golden Pass railway. Beginning our journey
in Zweisimmen, we pass by the famous resorts of Gstaad and
Château d’Oex. As we approach Montreux, the spectacular lake
region begins to unfold below, revealing stunning views of
the popular ‘Swiss Riviera’. The rest of the day is free in
Geneva, where you can join an optional sightseeing tour.
Zermatt (included) and
Gornergrat Railway (optional).
The internationally- renowned
resort village of Zermatt is spectacularly set below the Matterhorn.
Enjoy a fantastic optional ride on the Gornergrat Rack Railway,

highest open-air train station at 3089 metres high, Gornergrat,
from where, weather permitting, there are superb views of
the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, the ‘pink mountain’.
