10 Day Select Holiday

Wonderful sightseeing is in store featuring sky-scraping mountains and glassy lakes as we blend the loveliness of Austria with the chocolate box scenery of Switzerland and the enchanting magic of a fairytale fortress. Our base is medieval Feldkirch, a picturesque Austrian town nestling near the border with Liechtenstein and home to majestic Shattenburg Castle and the landmark Katzenturm tower. You will feel surrounded by history as you wander its Old Town’s winding alleys that trail off into secluded gardens and a bustling market square. We call at glamorous St Moritz where the remnants of St Mauritius Church have left this glitzy resort with a remarkable leaning tower. The treats keep coming with a visit to magnificent Hohenschwangau Castle, perched on the rugged foothills of the Alps and dating from the twelfth century. It later became the hunting residence for the Bavarian royal family, and its four striking corner towers and walls with battlements give the castle a medieval look. We also embark on spectacular train journeys that showcase sensational scenery and make this holiday unforgettable and extra special.
