Detailed itinerary

1

Your private day tour begins with pickup at your accommodation in Salzburg by a professional driver. Leaving the city behind, the journey heads west through the heart of the Austrian Alps. The scenic drive follows alpine valleys, mountain rivers, and traditional Tyrolean villages, offering breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and lush meadows depending on the season. Traveling in a comfortable Mercedes-Benz vehicle allows guests to relax and enjoy the ever-changing mountain scenery at a flexible pace. Photo stops can be made along the way, making the journey itself an important part of the experience before arriving in the historic city of Innsbruck.

Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is beautifully set between impressive Alpine mountain ranges and offers a unique mix of imperial history, culture, and mountain scenery. During the visit, guests can choose between two options. The first allows free time to explore the charming Old Town independently, visiting highlights such as the Golden Roof, St. James Cathedral, and the Imperial Palace, or enjoying cafés and shops at a relaxed pace. Alternatively, the stay can be extended with a professional local guide included, offering deeper insight into Innsbruck’s Habsburg history, architecture, and local traditions. Both options allow guests to experience the city’s historic atmosphere while enjoying spectacular alpine views surrounding one of Austria’s most scenic destinations.

After exploring Innsbruck, your driver will meet you for the short and scenic drive to Wattens, home of Swarovski Crystal Worlds. The journey takes approximately 20–30 minutes and passes through picturesque Tyrolean countryside with views of alpine peaks and green valleys. Traveling privately ensures a smooth and relaxed transfer without time pressure, allowing guests to fully enjoy the transition from historic city scenery to a modern artistic attraction nestled in the mountains.
