After nightfall, countless mountain bonfires and strings of lights illuminate the majestic silhouette of the mountain range, creating an unforgettable sight for every visitor. The striking rock formations of the Wilder Kaiser glow in a magical light, while you enjoy this natural spectacle at altitude from a prime vantage point.

On a panoramic boat trip, you experience the unique calm and vastness of the lake, while majestic peaks rise directly from the shore, creating an incomparable natural backdrop. The journey then continues by coach to the idyllic Gramai Valley. There, genuine Tyrolean hospitality awaits you amid an impressive Alpine landscape – the perfect place to enjoy the clear mountain air and the special charm of the Tyrolean mountains. The breathtaking scenery rounds off the experience perfectly. In the evening, you will be treated to a Tyrolean specialities evening at your accommodation.

Day 3: The Kaiser Aflame

In the morning, you stroll through Kufstein, the much-celebrated “Pearl of Tyrol”. The well-known Römerhofgasse, with its traditional painted houses, is sure to impress you. Around midday, the Heldenorgel (Heroes’ Organ), which sounds daily in memory of fallen heroes, can be heard throughout Kufstein. In the early afternoon, the journey continues to Lake Walchsee. Via the baroque town of St. Johann in Tyrol, you finally return to the hotel. In the evening, the cable car takes you relaxed to lofty heights to witness the spectacle of the Fire Night Baptism. Accompanied by live music and delicious barbecue fare, the mountain bonfires blaze all around. Late in the evening, the cable car brings you safely back down to the valley before you return to the hotel.
