The Best of the Tyrol

Day 1

Following a short sea crossing we continue to our overnights dinner, bed and breakfast accommodation

Day 2

We continue our journey to Igls

Day 3

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 4

At leisure in Igls

Day 5

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 6

Today we travel to the unique 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.

Day 7

Sadly we depart our resort and travel to our overnight accommodation.

Day 8

Continue to Calais and complete the journey home.
