Your journey begins
with a comfortable evening flight on SAS from Seattle to Copenhagen
with a connecting flight to Munich. You will then take a scenic
motor coach drive to Innsbruck, your home for the week. Your first
view of this 800-year-old alpine city nestled against a backdrop
of towering mountains is sure to take your breath away. Its treasures
are endless, both on and off the slopes. Magnificent churches, museums
and imperial residences are filled with impressive works of art
and many are venues for festivals and concerts. The Golden Roof
in medieval Old Town, the Black Figures at Hofkirche, the Triumphal
Arch, and the romantic Renaissance-style Ambras Castle all provide
an insight into Innsbruck’s major influence on Austrian and European
history. As host of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games, Innsbruck’s
seven nearby ski regions boast 62 lifts and more than 80 miles of
well-maintained runs with terrain for skiers of all abilities. The
Innsbruck Superski Pass also includes visits to the nearby world-famous
resorts of St. Anton and Kitzbühel. Cross-country skiers can discover
more than 120 miles of prepared trails. Due to Innsbruck’s central
location, it is also easy to take day excursions to Venice, Salzburg,
Vienna, Munich and Neuschwanstein, the fairytale castle of King
Ludwig II.
An evening Johann Strauss concert gala
in the main theatre of Innsbruck is included in your package. During
your stay, the following events will also be taking place: Mozart
Week in Salzburg and the 2001 Alpine Ski World Championship in St.
Anton! In one week, you can experience an opera in Salzburg, a concert
in Innsbruck; a museum tour in Vienna; a gondola ride in Venice,
and even a World Cup ski race in St. Anton! An organized, group
day trip to Salzburg will be planned, so that you have the opportunity
to attend one of the many musical events honoring W.A. Mozart, Salzburg’s
most famous resident. As your week comes to a close, you will wish
you had more time to sightsee and enjoy the sights and sounds of
Austria.
