Day 2: Lake Achensee & Gramai Alm

Accompanied by your tour guide, you travel to Lake Achensee, which is known as the “Tyrolean Sea” for good reason. With an impressive depth of 133 metres and an area of 6.8 km², it is the largest lake in Tyrol. Even the approach is captivating, with spectacular views of the crystal-clear, turquoise water and the imposing mountain landscape around the Karwendel and Rofan ranges.

On a panoramic boat trip you will experience the unique tranquillity and expanse of the lake, while majestic peaks rise right from the shore, creating an incomparable natural backdrop. The coach then continues to the idyllic Gramai Valley. There you will find genuine Tyrolean cosiness amid an impressive Alpine landscape – the perfect place to enjoy the clear mountain air and the special flair of the Tyrolean mountains. The breathtaking scenery rounds off the experience perfectly. In the evening, you will be treated to a Tyrolean speciality evening at your hotel.

Day 3: The Kaiser in Flames

In the morning, you stroll through Kufstein, the much-praised “Pearl of Tyrol”. The well-known Römerhofgasse with its traditional house paintings will particularly impress you. At midday, the Heroes' Organ can be heard throughout Kufstein, sounding daily in remembrance of fallen heroes. In the early afternoon, the journey continues to Lake Walchsee. Via the Baroque town of St. Johann in Tirol, you finally return to your hotel.

In the evening, the cable car takes you comfortably up to airy heights to experience the impressive spectacle of the Fire Night Baptism.
