Day 2: Top of Austria! - the Grossglockner High Alpine Road
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is one of Austria's best-known landmarks and is considered one of the most beautiful scenic and panoramic roads in the world. Stretching for 48 kilometres, this largely high-alpine road blends almost seamlessly into the mountain landscape and winds its way, hairpin bend by hairpin bend, into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park. It leads all the way up to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, with views of Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, and the Pasterze, the largest remaining glacier in the Eastern Alps. Majestic mountain peaks, glaciers, green valleys and forests – a sight that will leave you in awe of the mountains!
Day 3: Salzburg
Journey to Salzburg. Mozart's birthplace is famous for its magnificent architecture, its towering fortress, its almost picture-postcard little lanes, its beautiful Old Town and its small shops.

Afterwards, you can explore Zell am See at your own pace. We then continue to a rustic alpine hut in Rauris, where you will be expertly introduced to the making of schnapps and bacon.
