The Core Cities, Lakes and Mountains of Austria:
The stunning lakes and alpine landscapes of Austria have long proven popular for the UK market, as well as key cities Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck which are in easy reach of these regions, allowing travellers to enjoy a variety of experiences within a single trip, which is why Audley has added each to its growing portfolio.
In the space of just one week, clients can combine the culture and history of Austria’s cities with the natural beauty of its countryside, creating a bespoke trip that offers three or four completely different experiences, including vibrant urban exploration, to relaxing lakeside stays and mountainous adventures.
Audley recommends learning about classical music and following Mozart’s footsteps in Salzburg, exploring the coffeehouse culture of Vienna and experiencing the famous Lipizzaner horses perform inside the Imperial Palace, or exploring the Alpine peaks and glacial lakes of the Salzkammergut region, and catching a show at the Vienna Opera House, or taking a boat ride around Lake Hallstatt.
Alpine-scapes and First-Class experiences in Switzerland:
Known for being the health capital of the world thanks to its fresh air and pristine Alpine mountainscapes, the prestige of Switzerland has long been an alluring destination for travellers and is now part of the bespoke offering of Audley.
From French-speaking Geneva in the west, to the glitzy mountain retreat St. Moritz in the east, where Swiss-German is the main language, Switzerland offers a spectrum of first-class experiences. As well as these must-visit destinations, clients will now be also able to access the iconic Lauterbrunnen Valley and its 72 waterfalls, tour the car-free mountain village of Wengen, take in the stunning panoramic views of Murren via cable car, and visit the foodie haven of Grindelwald for cheese making, decadent chocolatiers and fondue experiences, as part of a custom trip.
