‘ template=’/home/atlastra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/gallery.php’ order_by=’sortorder’ order_direction=’ASC’ returns=’included’ maximum_entity_count=’500′]Travel from Cortina on a pre-arranged private transfer to the holiday alpine region of Schladming-Dachstein in Styria, Austria and experience the alpine highlights and natural beauty between the southern walls of the Dachstein (2,995m) and the Schladming Tauern (2,862m). You will be based in the town of Schladming, a charming valley-town at the foot of the Planai (1,906m). Schladming has a long skiing tradition having hosted numerous World Cup races and in 2013 it hosted the World Championships. Enjoy the many mountain lifts in the region. The lifts will bring you to the summits of the Planai, the Hochwurzen (1,805m and west of Schladming), the Hauser Kaibling (2,015m and east of Schladming) and the Dachstein (north of Schladming) where you can enjoy the awesome views of hundreds of mountain peaks including Austria’s highest peaks. The ride up on the Dachstein Glacier Lift – to 2,995m! – is a memorable experience on its own! And that’s not all: at the summit there is a 100m long suspension bridge – Austria’s highest suspension bridge at a dizzying height of 2,700m! – featuring a unique “stairway to nothingness” leading to a glass platform which offers breathtaking views of not just Austria’s highest peaks but also the rugged face of the Dachstein Massif! In addition to spectacular summit and alpine views and great walking trails, you can enjoy the nearby rustic villages of Rohrmoos (foot of Hochwurzen) and Haus (foot of Hauser Kaibling).

Day 09 – SCHLADMING [B]

Day 10 – SCHLADMING [B]

Day 11 – SCHLADMING – SALZBURG [B]

Day 12 – SALZBURG [B]

Day 13 – SALZBURG: HALLSTATT / EAGLE’S NEST [B]

‘ template=’/home/atlastra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/gallery.php’ order_by=’sortorder’ order_direction=’ASC’ returns=’included’ maximum_entity_count=’500′]Choose either a visit to Hallstatt or the Eagle’s Nest. Hallstatt is the most photographed village in the Salzkammergut region and consistently rated as among the top 5 attractions in all of Austria. This picturesque town sits between the Hallstatter See (“see” meaning “lake”) and the Dachstein mountains, and is lined with colourful 16th century alpine houses and completed with a charming Gothic Catholic Church. Hallstatt also offers tourists the opportunity to visit an ancient salt mine – with the reputation of being the oldest salt mine in the world dating back to 5,000 BC – with a subterranean salt lake. For history buffs, visit the Eagle’s Nest, a chalet built for Adolf Hitler on the Kehlstein mountain at 1,834m above sea level with amazing views of the Alps in Germany and Austria. Considering its position, the Eagle’s Nest is an engineering feat in and of itself where the final ascent is by way of a (brass!) elevator buried in the heart of the mountain. Untouched during and after the war, the place has been left intact as it was in 1945 and is certainly well worth a visit.

Day 14 – SALZBURG – OBERSTDORF [B]

Day 15 – OBERSTDORF [B]

Day 17 – OBERSTDORF – MUNICH [B]

‘ template=’/home/atlastra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/gallery.php’ order_by=’sortorder’ order_direction=’ASC’ returns=’included’ maximum_entity_count=’500′]Head to Munich – the capital and largest city of the German state of Bavaria and home to centuries-old buildings and numerous museums. Munich is known for its annual Oktoberfest celebration and its beer halls, including the famed Hofbräuhaus, founded in 1589. In the Altstadt (Old Town) is Marienplatz, a central square with landmarks such as the neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (town hall). At the Rathaus is the Rathaus Glockenspiel, reputed to be the most extravagant clock in the world – and quite justifiably so! Here’s why – the Glockenspiel features a clock face, 43 bells and more than 30 full-sized mechanical figures; the figures act out scenes lasting about 15 minutes from German history and mythology on several tiers below the clock face; built in the early 20th century, the Glockenspiel’s main purpose has been more about entertaining people than to tell time! No wonder therefore its well-earned reputation! The “show” starts at 11am and 12pm every day, with additional show at 5pm between March and October.

Day 18 – MUNICH: NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE [B]

Day 19 – MUNICH [B]
