View of a snowy mountain from the Old Town in Innsbruck, Austria — Old Town, Innsbruck

View of the town of Innsbruck at sunset from the river, with a bridge in the forefront and the town's buildings along the waterfront. Two clock towers, one dome shaped building and one tower poke out of the top of the cityscape. The silhouette of a mountain is behind, against an orange sky. — Innsbruck

View of a wide road with shops and tall buildings either side. Tables and chairs are laid out in the road and bicycles are parked up on the right side. There is a clock tower which is taller than the rest of the buildings with a turquoise turret on the left, and snowy mountains can be seen at the end of the road, in front of light blue evening sky — Innsbruck, Austria

View of a Christmas market, with wooden, cabin-like stalls in the forefront, selling winter hats, dream catchers and scarves. The roofs are lined with green leaf-like garlands and fairy lights. Behind these is a Christmas tree metal structure, with a large, lit up star on top, in front of a navy blue night sky. — Innsbruck Christmas Market

View of Seefeld village in thick snow. A leafless tree in the left forefront covered in snow, and a tall clock tower of a church slightly further away. All under a light blue sky — Seefeld, Austrian Tyrol

Low-angle view of St Anton village covered in thick snow, with a few houses and hotels going up the mountain and fir trees dotted all over. In front of a blue sky. — St Anton, Austrian Tyrol

Your itinerary

In supplier order. Some entries may cover multiple days; optional experiences are described by the supplier.

Outbound flight from the UK

Fly to Zürich or Innsbruck and head through the countryside to your hotel. Your Tyrolean Christmas will be spent in the little village of Flirsch am Arlberg, in the heart of the Stanzer Valley, about 10 kilometres east of the well-known ski resort of St Anton. Settle in to your room then relax, or perhaps head out for a stroll around the village, until dinner time when your celebrations will begin with a complimentary welcome drink before your meal.

Included visit to Innsbruck

Today we head east to the beautiful city of Innsbruck. See the landmarks of the city's outskirts, the Wilten Monastery and Olympic ski-jump, and then pass through the Triumphal Arch into the city itself. Stroll along the elegant main street, Maria-Theresien-Strasse, and see the Golden Roof - the copper-tiled covering above the Kaiser’s window overlooking the square.

Look for unusual gifts among the wooden stalls of the colourful Christmas Market that is held, each year, beneath the Golden Roof, and don't miss the chance to stop for coffee and cake at one of many cafes in the Altstadt.

This evening, enjoy a guided pre-dinner festive walk in the company of your hosts.

Optional excursion to Seefeld

Today’s optional excursion takes you through the Tyrol's winter-wonderland scenery to Seefeld. One of Austria's most famous ski resorts, this pretty town is classically Tyrolean – with its onion-domed church, elegant shops and stores, and an array of places to eat both in the town and in the hills above.

This evening, begin your celebrations with a traditional Christmas Eve glühwein and a festive dinner.

Christmas Day

This morning we'll pay a visit to the nearby resort of St Anton, one of Europe’s premier ski resorts, before a three-course Christmas Day turkey lunch is served back at your hotel. Spend the afternoon relaxing, then enjoy another dinner in the hotel’s cosy restaurant.

Optional Neuschwanstein Castle day trip

Relax in and around your hotel today, or join our optional excursion to Mad King Ludwig's famous castle at Neuschwanstein. Built high on a rocky crag, and every bit as fantastical inside as out, with Gothic bedrooms and decorations inspired by Wagnerian opera, the castle is a wonder to behold (entrance included). Don’t miss strolling across the Marienbrücke for the classic view of this more-Disney-than-Disney fantasy and its stunning setting before returning to the hotel for a final dinner.

Return to the UK

Say goodbye to your Austrian hosts, and transfer back to the airport to catch your flight home at the end of a wonderful Christmas holiday.
