A fabulous winter holiday itinerary covering Germany and Austria’s mountainous parts is ideal for active travelers, culture-seekers, and fans of Christmas Markets. A compilation of gateway cities of the Alps and charming towns nestled within dramatic snowcapped mountains are the ingredients of perfect wintertime. Munich becomes a paradise for ice-skating and curling in the winter months. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a delight for winter sports fans. Take long downhills on your skis or conquer Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze on snowshoes. Try the pistes within the city limits of Winter Olympics host, Innsbruck. Salzburg awaits you with easy winter hikes and horse-drawn carriage rides. You can claim your reward in Vienna by visiting its famous cafés, and with a farewell-skating in front of the City Hall. The Christmas Markets are delightful in each city on this route. Enthusiasts of classical music should travel around Christmas or New Year’s Eve to attend the festive concerts in the world-famous halls of Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna.
