Itinerary

Please choose your preferred 7 day itinerary

Regional departure by coach or Door-to-Door service, then to France for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, settle back in your seat for the journey south into Austria. We continue into the Vorarlberg region of Austria, arriving in the medieval town of Feldkirch this evening, where we stay for the next four nights.

Includes Breakfast

Includes Dinner

Join us today on our superb included excursion to Germany and to the Bavarian town of Füssen. En route, we pause at the village of Hohenschwangau, home to the spectacular Hohenschwangau Castle and the famous Neuschwanstein Castle.

King Maximilian, the father of King Ludwig II, acquired Hohenschwangau castle as a ruin in 1832. He rebuilt it according to the original plans and after completion, the castle was used as the summer and hunting residence of the Bavarian royal family. Neuschwanstein Castle is the famous fairy tale castle built by Mad King Ludwig and is one of Germany’s most popular images. It was the inspiration behind Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty’s Castle and also seen in the film ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’.

There will be time at leisure in Hohenschwangau village where you can photograph Neuschwanstein Castle (weather permitting). You can choose to remain in Hohenschwangau and enjoy a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle (entrance at extra cost), or join our visit to nearby Füssen, a charming town located on the edge of the Alps and also the highest in Bavaria. There will be free time to explore before we collect anyone who stayed to visit Neuschwanstein Castle, then return to our hotel later this afternoon.

We depart our hotel after breakfast on our included excursion and travel to Chur, the capital of the Swiss canton of Graubünden. With over 5,000 years of history, Chur rightfully claims to be the oldest city in Switzerland. Here we board a fairy tale railway which journeys along the Glacier Express route.

Beginning at the lowest point of the route, we will travel through the dramatic landscape of the Rhine gorge, often referred to as the 'Swiss Grand Canyon', from where the Rhine River has carved deep into the white rocks. We will then begin to climb upwards to the spectacular Oberalp Pass, reaching a height of 2034 metres before arriving in the charming ski resort of Andermatt.

Please note: on some departures, this excursion will run in the opposite direction: we will travel by coach to Andermatt and enjoy a ride to Chur.

A lovely holiday made even better by Matt and Dan. They looked after us all so well and had obviously "done their homework" and we're able to give us so much information about the places we visited. Would definitely travel with these two again.

The best part of choosing a Leger silver service holiday is knowing you’re going to have a great holiday, be looked after by personable friendly drivers, travel to great places and have good value for money. Our drivers Matt and Dan were fabulous. They wanted all their customers to have the best time and they looked after each and every one of us so well. It’s because of them I’ll chose to holiday with leger again.
