Salzburg: (www.salzburg.com)
A one-day excursion to the wonderful Austrian town, also called "City of Music".
In its ancient center you can meet and enjoy the musicians standing at every corner of the square in front of St Peter's cathedral.

A visit to the birthplace of Wolfgang, Amadeus Mozart in Getreidengasse, nº 9 is of course a must. A beautiful collection of violins (also his first one), scores and pictures will introduce you to his family and great artistic career.
Salzburg is endowed with many castles. 125 meters above the river Salsach lies 'Hohensalzburg', a beautiful residence which you can reach by cog railway. In its surrounding you may find 'Leopoldskron' and 'Hellbrunn'. The former was the setting for the legendary movie, 'The Sound of Music'. The Latter has a marvellous garden with ponds and a 'Mechanic Museum', both worth seeing.

Innsbruck: (http://www.innsbruck-tourism.at)
A half-day excursion in the lovely city the name of which means 'the bridge across the river Inn', It is famous for its 'Golden Roof', built during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, to conceal the dark wall of the building built by Duke Frederik IV, who was called "the Duke with the empty purse".
The ski-jump accommodation reminds you of the Olympic Winter Games held in this town in the sixties.

The 3-mountain-pass-route:
This is a picturesque route in the Alps across the Brennerpass in Austria, the Jaufenpass in Italy and the Timmeljoch pass back in Austria.

Bavaria in Germany: (http://www.bayern.by)
This will be a trip right across the German border (Füssen) Where you're going to visit the idyllic castle of "Neuschwanstein". The "mad" king of Bavaria, Ludwig II, built it and Walt Disney got inspired by it for his movie "Sleeping Beauty".
In the neighbourhood there's another option. Linderhof castle was also built by Ludwig II. His model was the petit Trianon of Versailles. Linderhof has a magnificent garden.

But Bavaria offers you more than castles... You may not forget Oberammergau, a small town which became world-famous for its 10-yearly music festival (Festspiele) and its wood sculptures.
And not to forget Wiess with its opulous baroque church (Wiesskirche).

A day in Switzerland: Sankt Moritz and Samnaun
(http://www.stmoritz.ch;http://www.samnaun.ch)
First you visit a duty-free state surrounded by the Alps which can only be reached by Austria or ski-lift. Samnaun is a very little state with only 800 inhabitants!

Sankt Moritz is the touristic heart of the Ober-Engadin. The ancient village has boomed into a real town. Sankt Moritz is known for its luxurious hotels of the 19th and 20th century but it also offers its visitor a wide range of sports and entertainment facilities only known in a fashionable world.

A trip via Rechenpass to Stilverjoch in Italy and back to Austria

Liechtenstein, Arlbergpass and Silvretta (2820 m)
(http://www.liechtenstein.li)

Rattenberg: Discover the handcraft of glass blowing.
(http://www.rattenberg.at)

Munich: (http://www.munchen.de)
You cross the German border near Kufstein which makes you enter Bavaria from another side. After a one-hour drive we arrive in Munich, the capital of Bavaria. It will be a day of sightseeing and having a drink on one of the many sidewalk cafés. Of course, your day will be too short there.
