Switzerland, Germany & Austria

From the whimsical castle of mad King Ludwig to thriving modern cities strung along the Rhine, Germany’s versatility is spread across its 16 different states and encompasses vineyards and villages, a hiker’s heaven of hills, valleys and forests, a cultural heritage of arts and music and the world’s largest beer festival!

There’s no such thing as a bad air day in the pristine mountains, lakes and picture postcard views of Austria and Switzerland! You’ll crave their creamy cheese and dreamy chocolate, find fairytale villages, quaint inns and fenceless farms where even the cows wear bells!

Sit back and enjoy Switzerland’s spectacular alpine scenery by train; the Glacier Express from glitzy St Moritz to Zermatt, or the famous Jungfrau from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch, Europe’s highest train station at 11,333 feet – on a par with Mt Cook!

In Austria, the fit and the fearless will find a high altitude adventure park to hike, climb, canyon, ride and glide, while artistic adventurers will revel in Mozart’s Salzburg and the elegance of Vienna.
