Tauck’s 12-day Alpine Interlude showcases authentic, engaging experiences in the Austrian, Italian, Swiss and Bavarian Alps. Journey along the Yellow Roads, like the Grossglockner-Hochalpenstrasse, through some of the most inspiring scenery on earth; climb to the highest railway station in Europe aboard a cogwheel train; and take in a sweeping panorama of alpine splendour from a cable car. Explore the exciting cities of Zurich, Berne, Vaduz, Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna. Savour a real taste of the Alps in a Swiss Gasthof, a treat in a famous Viennese café, authentic specialties in a Bavarian restaurant, and visit to a 900-year-old monastery winery. Your spirits will soar as high as the mountains as you discover the Alps with Tauck!
