Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Eagle’s Nest, or Kehlsteinhaus, was built between 1937 and 1938 as a gift for Hitler’s 50th birthday. Perched on a narrow rocky ridge at 1,834 meters, it’s an incredible feat of engineering with breathtaking views over the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden. Your private English-speaking driver will take you to the parking area, where a special bus navigates the steep, 6.5 km road carved into the mountainside, climbing 700 meters in just 15 minutes. From there, you’ll walk through a marble-lined tunnel before taking a historic brass elevator up another 124 meters to the summit. At the top, you can explore the interior of this infamous retreat, enjoy a meal at the restaurant, and take in the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Alps.

Salzburg, often called the 'Pearl of Austria,' is best known as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Nestled along the Salzach River and surrounded by stunning alpine landscapes, the city is crowned by the impressive Hohensalzburg Fortress, which sits high on Mönchsberg mountain. Beyond its rich history and elegant architecture, Salzburg gained worldwide fame as the backdrop for The Sound of Music. Its baroque old town, one of the largest UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is home to stunning landmarks like Mirabell and Hellbrunn Palaces, grand cathedrals, and Mozart’s birthplace on the famous Getreidegasse. This lively street is filled with stylish shops, charming cafés, and restaurants offering local specialties. Salzburg also thrives as a city of music, hosting renowned festivals throughout the year. And during the holiday season, the magical Christkindlmarkt transforms the old town into a festive wonderland.
