JULY 11-22, 2023
This Best of Austria & Switzerland tour covers the highlights of two of Europe’s most scenic countries. Spend two nights each in Vienna, Salzburg, Zermatt, and Lucerne, as well as one night in St. Moritz and Berne.
Palaces and castles are the fil rouge of this tour. First visit Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace, once the home of the Habsburg Imperial family and stand in awe as you hear the stories of this royal family’s home. Then explore romantic Chillon Castle, a well-preserved, medieval castle on the shores of Lake Geneva.
If spectacular scenery is your interest, then a ride on the world-famous Glacier Express
train
is just the perfect experience for you. Travel first-class and admire the thundering
waterfalls, impressive peaks, glacial ice fields, and tiny villages from the panoramic
window on your way to Zermatt, a picturesque cluster of rustic chalets beneath the
majestic Matterhorn.
Other scenic highlights include a Danube
cruise along the most characteristic part of the river; a private boat cruise on the
fjord-like lake in Lucerne; a mountain train ride from Zermatt
to Täsch; a scenic drive into the Swiss Engadine, considered by many to be the most
beautiful mountain area in the world; a drive through the Tyrolean Alps on the way
to Innsbruck; a stop in Interlaken, where you can take pictures of the Jungfrau massif;
and more.
All of this and much more await you on this tour of Austria and Switzerland. This is a dream vacation and a private adventure for only MCC travelers.
