Fly into Munich, meet your tour manager and journey across the Austrian border to the scenic Tyrol, to enjoy the warm welcome and hospitality of your hotel. Settle into your room, explore your surroundings and enjoy a first evening meal.
Join your tour manager for a full-day sightseeing tour. You'll begin by travelling to picture-postcard Rattenberg, the Tyrol's smallest town, which is beautifully set beneath the ruins of its castle, and famous for its glass-blowing and crystal work – as well as for its traditional Apfelstrudel. See artisan craftspeople at work, and taste the traditional dessert as prepared by master bakers, before completing a wonderful day with a visit to Lake Achensee. Relax on one of the beaches that fringe its wooded shores – many of which are popular spots for swimming – or take a cruise on a lake steamer (payable locally). You'll return to the hotel in time for dinner.
You will be staying in one of two four-star hotels in the heart of the Austrian Tyrol, followed by a traditional local guesthouse in or near Oberammergau on your final night. Your first hotel will be allocated based on your departure date and will be confirmed after booking.
