Continue into Austria arriving in Mayrhofen for our 5-night stay at Neue Post Hotel.

Day Three

Full day to Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol where we have free time to see the main sights including the historic old town with its legendary Golden Roof, the Hofburg, former imperial residence of the ruling Habsburgs.

Day Four

We start today with a scenic journey from Mayrhofen to the Tyrolean Farm Museum, where 37 reconstructed historic wooden buildings recreate Tyrolean life in pre-industrial times. After time in delightful Rattenberg, famous for its glassware, for lunch and shopping, we ride a train along the nostalgic, narrow-gauge Zillertal Railway this afternoon: travelling through glorious scenery from Fügen to Mayrhofen before returning to our hotel.

Day Five

Today is ours to relax and enjoy beautiful Mayrhofen and the countryside around it. We can enjoy the leisure facilities at our hotel, which include a superb indoor pool, sauna, and steam bath; or discover the pretty resort and the spectacular Ziller Valley as we wish

Day Six

This morning we embark on the Achenseebahn, Europe's oldest cog railway, which is still steam operated. Puffing through the steeper sections, it rises to a 16% gradient from Jenbach to Seespitz. From here we re-join our coach for the short journey to the resort town of Pertisau. We enjoy time at leisure before relaxing on a one-way cruise from Pertisau to the northern shores of lovely Lake Achensee.
