Full Itinerary
Day One: Outbound flight from the UK
Fly to Zurich or Innsbruck, meet your Tour Manager and transfer to your hotel in Flirsch am Arlberg. Settle in to your cosy surroundings, and enjoy dinner at your leisure in the welcoming hotel restaurant.
Day Two: Included visit to Innsbruck
Spend today exploring Innsbruck. You'll see the landmarks of the city's outskirts, the Wilten Monastery and Olympic ski-jump, and then pass through the Triumphal Arch into the city itself. Stroll along the elegant main street, Maria-Theresien-Strasse, and see the Golden Roof - the copper-tiled covering above the Kaiser’s window overlooking the square.
At this time of year, a number of charming Christmas markets appear around Innsbruck for you to explore. Wander around the traditional Christmas market beneath the Golden Roof, head to the market on the city's vast market square, or visit the stalls of the market along Maria-Theresien-Strasse. You may also like to stop for coffee and cake in one of the cafes in the Old Town, or perhaps ride the Hungerburg Funicular (payable locally) from its futuristic base station to the summit station where you'll be treated to spectacular views and another small but lovely Christmas market.
Day Three: Optional Alpine scenery tour
Relax in your hotel, maybe enjoying the warming facilities of the spa, or join us to explore on an Alpine Winter Panorama excursion. Journey through the heart of the Tyrolean countryside by coach to discover snowy mountains and a rolling patchwork of forest and meadows dotted with idyllic villages and famous resorts. Highlights for your day might include the bustling, world-famous ski resorts of St Anton and Seefeld, where you'll find elegant shops and stores, restaurants and bars all surrounded by the Tyrol's magnificent mountain scenery.
Day Four: Fly back to the UK
Say goodbye to your Tyrolean hosts, today, and transfer back to the airport to check in for your flight home.
