Excursions and visits
Zell am See and Lake Cruise (included). Zell am See mixes lofty peaks and stunning alpine scenery. Take a cruise on Lake Zell to experience the tranquil setting, then enjoy time to wander around the town. We recommend a cable car ride up Schmittenhöhe mountain (extra cost), or instead you can relax at a local café with strudel and coffee.
Kitzbühel and Gisela Train (optional). We board the "Gisela" train at Zell am for a nostalgic ride through the hills to Kitzbühel. The ceremonial opening of the first continuous European railway connection from Paris to Istanbul took place in 1875.  The centrepiece of the original train is the Royal Imperial Mail Carriage of 1910.  The middle section was made into a saloon car, hosting an original mail bod with a special stamp, a buffet and bar.  
Krimml Waterfall and the Ziller Valley (optional, included on Silver Service). At 380 metres, these cascades are Europe’s longest free fall of water! Our tour offers the chance to discover the delights of Krimml waterfall. We also drive over the Gerlos Pass to the Mayrhofen ski resort and then follow the breathtaking Ziller Valley, en route to Rattenberg.
Grossglockner Glacier (included). Travelling along the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse, we ascend Austria’s highest mountain, the Grossglockner (Big Bell). The impressive icy world can be captured from the Franz-Josef’s-Heights viewing platform, before we continue to the charming mountaineers’ village of Heiligenblut, to shop or simply relax.
Hallstatt and Obertraun (optional). Join our full-day excursion through splendid scenery to the Salzkammergut Lakes area and have your camera ready.  We visit the Hallstattersee lake and the pictuire postcard village of Hallstatt, which owes its prosperity to salt mining and is one of the finest of the many Austrian beauty spots.  We also visit the lakeside town of Obertraun, nesting in the shadow of the mighty Dachstein Mountains.
