Highlights
  • Maria Ramersdorf Kirche - All the sights mentioned here are carefully selected recommendations. Since this is an exclusive tour, you can always bring your own suggestions; We are also happy to meet your requirements with regard to the length of stay at the individual stops!

Now you can look forward to an eventful, informative but also relaxing excursion in our comfortable new VW minibus - by the side of our friendly and professional tour guide you are in the best of hands!

… At the old pilgrimage church of St. Maria Ramersdorf from the 14th century, we leave Munich and drive south-east on the A8 …

  • Tegernsee - Until the secularization in 1806, the Tegernsee valley was in the firm hands of the Benedictine monks who lived here for over 1,000 years, then the Bavarian king took over the monastery buildings and made them his summer residence.
    Even today, many celebrities can be found in this wonderful piece of earth; sometimes also in the world-famous ‘Bräustüberl’ in the historic monastery building, where we recommend a short stop. In addition to Bavarian specialties, Tegernsee beer is also served. The brewery is also located directly on the former monastery grounds and is run by the descendants of the Bavarian kings.
  • Achensee - A few minutes after crossing the German-Austrian border, we reach Lake Achensee. With a length of almost 10 km and a maximum depth of 130 meters, it is the largest lake in Tyrol. The road along the east bank with its numerous vantage points offers the best opportunities to take photos and be amazed!
    Seasonally, a historic cogwheel steam train runs from the southern end of the lake down to the Inn Valley in around 30 minutes.
  • Swarovski Kristallwelten - Experience this unique place of fantasy, created by multimedia artist André Heller for the centenary of Swarovski:
    17 chambers of wonder and an enchanting garden seduce with art, design and architecture.
    (Please note that you cannot see the production of the Swarovski products here; a factory tour is not offered!)

Prices (2023):
Adults: € 23.00
Children (6 - 17 years): € 7.00

  • Innsbruck - Due to its special location, Innsbruck can look back on more than 3,000 years of eventful history. Embark on a 35-minute guided tour through the historic old town with your professional guide, on which the landmark, the ‘Golden Roof’ from the 15th century, should of course not be missing. Other highlights are the Innsbruck Hofburg, Maria-Theresia-Strasse with the Anna Column and Triumphal Arch, the city tower with its viewing platform and the Cathedral of St. James. Of course you can shop or have lunch during or after the tour!
  • Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) - With a spectacular cable car chain you can go directly from the historic old town up to 2,269 m above sea level. (7,444 ft. a.s.l.) drive. Breathtaking views open up from the intermediate stations “Hungerburg” (858 m above sea level) and “Seegrube” (1,905 m above sea level). The grandiose station buildings of the 1st section were designed by the famous British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, nicknamed “Curve Queen”, to whom we also owe the Bergisel ski jump. At the mountain stations, restaurants offer recommended regional and international dishes with spectacular views! (Round trip prices 2023 from € 11.40 adults/ € 6.90 children 7-16 years)
  • Bergisel Ski Jump - The overwhelming view of Innsbruck, the fascination of a ski jumping site with an Olympic past and the modern architecture characterize the Bergisel ski jump. The tower was designed by star architect Zaha Hadid.
  • Mittenwald - This market town, surrounded by high alpine peaks, achieved wealth and prosperity thanks to the “Bozener Markt”, which can still be seen today in the magnificently decorated houses (“Lüftlmalerei”) and the overwhelming Rococo church of St. Peter and Paul. A second upswing came from the still existing violin making. With the Karwendel cable car you can reach Germany’s second highest mountain railway station at 2,244 meters above sea level. Prices (ascent and descent): Adults: € 32.50 Children (6-17 years): € 22.50
  • Skistadion, Garmisch-Partenkirchen - Built during the Nazi dictatorship for the 1936 Winter Olympics and remodeled for the planned 1940 Winter Olympics, which were canceled due to World War II.
    For this purpose, the two communities of Garmisch and Partenkirchen were also forcibly merged.
    Learn more about the darkest years 1933 - 1945 from your tour guide, but also about the current use of the stadium and the ski jumps.
  • Ludwigstrasse - The historic Ludwigstrasse in the Partenkirchen district with its colorful murals (“Lüftlmalerei”) is a must-see! It invites you to stroll, marvel and enjoy.
    Already 2,000 years ago there was a Roman trade route between Italy and Augsburg.

Wonderful experience! - Our day began with a hotel pickup, by our lederhosen clad guide, Stefan. Stefan stopped at many picturesque areas so we could capture the indescribable beauty of the Bavarian alps and the multiple lakes and villages on the way to and from Innsbruck. The Swarovski crystal museum is stunning and worth the visit. Innsbruck is a gorgeous mountain town with its alpine buildings and stunning mountain views. The day was amazing and Stefan was an incredible host!
