Eurotours Kitbühel recommends:<br />
Sunset on the Dachstein Glacier –<br />
more than panoramic views – page 18<br />
The highlight of this tour is a trip on the panoramic Dachstein<br />
Glacier Cable car to a dizzying altitude of 2,700 meters above<br />
sea level. From here you can take home some unforgettable<br />
holiday memories such as a walk along the Dachsteins suspension<br />
bridge, 400m from the ground, or a walk out on the stairway<br />
to nowhere at the base of the Dachstein Massive and the<br />
Dachstein Ice Palace invites you into a mysticalworld of ice,<br />
deep inside the glacier. Your day ends with good food and music<br />
in the Glacier Restaurant as the sun sets. This tour would be<br />
perfect to combine with a trip to the city of Salzburg and a trip<br />
to Hohenwerfen Fortress.<br />
Eurotours Vienna recommends:<br />
Highlights of Austria, Switzerland page 33<br />
Discover some of the major cities of Austria and Switzerland on<br />
this scenic tour through the Alps. Your trip includes highlights<br />
such as the Imperial Palace of Schönbrunn in Vienna - Austria’s<br />
most visited attraction and a World Cultural Heritage site, the city<br />
of Salzburg – home to Mozart and the sound of Music, the Austrian<br />
Lake District – home to the famous White Horse Inn, Innsbruck<br />
and the Nordektte mountain range with its spectacular views<br />
down into Italy and the spectacular city of Zurich on the shores<br />
of Lake Zurich. This is a great combination of Alpine mountain<br />
ranges and impressive cities.<br />
Eurotours Polska recommends:<br />
Romantic Train Rides in Northern Poland – page 106<br />
Discover Polish hospitality and steam trains on this tour. You will<br />
discover the old town of Poznan, enjoy traditional steam train<br />
rides from Poznan to Wolsztyn and from Znin to Biskupin and the<br />
birth place of Nicolaus Copernicus.<br />
Eurotours Germany recommends:<br />
The Moselle and its Gardens – page 62<br />
©Garten der Sinne<br />
4<br />
This tour is a highlight for culture and nature lovers alike! You will<br />
discover the “Jardins des Traces” in France, a unique garden<br />
built on an industrial wasteland, the Butterfly Garden which can<br />
be found in the wine town of Grevenmacher in Luxembourg and<br />
the spectacular gardens of the Roman Villa Borg in Germany,<br />
with its sweet smelling roses, herbs and flowers. We have also<br />
included a visit to the iron works of the völkinger Hptte – a UN-<br />
ESCO world heritage site and as a contrast a visit to the world<br />
famous porcelain manufacturer Villeroy & Boch. Definitely a<br />
3-countries tour of contrasts!

Pfänder cable car just outside of Bregenz where we recommend<br />
a ride to the summit. In just a few minutes you will be whisked<br />
up to an altitude of 1064 m above sea level where you can enjoy<br />
the fantastic view while having coffee and cake in the mountain<br />
restaurant or take a relaxing walk along the deer park trail and visit<br />

Suggested programme:<br />
Day 1:<br />
Arrive at your middle-class hotel in the Salzburg area.<br />
Day 2:<br />
Surrounded by the lakes and mountains of the picturesque Salzkammergut<br />
region, Salzburg is certainly one of the most magnificent<br />
cities in the world. Your city guide will introduce you to the<br />
city‘s highlights before you have free time to visit the city on your<br />
own. Highly recommended is a visit to Hohensalzburg Fortress,<br />
the largest fortress in Austria. This unmistakable landmark, with<br />
its eye-catching baroque towers peeking out high above the city,<br />
provides the city’s world famous silhouette.<br />
Day 3:<br />

Mountain range. Enjoy a coffee and cake or take a stroll in<br />
the quiet of the countryside before returning to your hotel.<br />
Day 4:<br />
Today we recommend a trip to Zell am See and Kaprun. Zell am<br />
See is a spectacular Lakes and Mountain resort with a pretty pedestrianized<br />
centre and a picturesque lakeside promenade. Highly<br />
recommended is a cable car ride on the Schmittenhohe or a trip<br />
on the "Pinzgau" narrow gauge stream train or simply a cruise on<br />
the lake. After some time in Zell am See, travel to the resort of<br />
Kaprun where a trip up the "Kitzsteinhorn" is a must. This is the<br />
highest point in the Salzburg region and is home to the "Gipfelwelt<br />
3000" (summit world 3000) with the Nationalpark Gallery, Cinema<br />
3000 and Top of Salzburg panorama platform.<br />

mine which is the oldest mine in the world that is open to the public.<br />
The mines are an experience for all ages. Close by you can<br />

"Golden Roof" and the "Hofburg" palace as well as the excellent<br />
shopping on the "Mariahilferstraße". An enhancement to your day<br />
would be a trip up the Nordpark mountain range where you can<br />
enjoy a coffee and cake while admiring the spectacular mountain<br />
views, don’t forget your camera! Enhance the trip with a stopover<br />
at the Alpine Zoo on the way up.<br />

time in the lakeside resort of Zell am See where you can have a<br />
stroll along the lakeside promenade or through the picturesque village<br />
centre. Alternatively visit the famous town of Kitzbühel before<br />
returning to your hotel.<br />
Day 5:<br />
Highly recommended is a ride on the Achensee steam train, Europe’s<br />
oldest steam driven rack and pinion railway, which climbs<br />
majestically to the edge of Lake Achensee, the highest lake in<br />

sparkling lakes of Carinthia. On the way we recommend a visit<br />
to the city of Graz, cultural city of Europe in 2003 and/or the<br />
"Lippizaner" stud farm of Piber. The stud farm is the birthplace<br />
of the famous "Lippizaner" horses of the Spanish Riding School<br />
of Vienna.<br />
Day 6:<br />
A visit to Austria would not be complete without a visit to its highest<br />
mountain, the Grossglockner. Your journey takes you over the impressive<br />
mountain road to the lakeside town of Zell am See. Sit back<br />
and enjoy the magnificent views before enjoying some free time in Zell<br />
am See. Finally, continue to your hotel in the Kitzbühel Alps region.<br />
Day 7:<br />
Austria and the Tyrol have been historical centre points of Europe<br />
for many centuries and one can find fortresses, castles and ruins<br />
along the Inn valley. One spectacular fortress is Tratzberg castle.<br />
This majestic and romantic fortress sits atop a massive rock ledge<br />
and commands a breath-taking view of the Inn Valley. <strong>Travel</strong>lers<br />
can spot the 500 year old stately structure from a great distance.<br />
Taking the time to visit this architectural jewel will be well worth<br />
your while as it is considered to be one of the most beautiful, late<br />
gothic castles in all of Europe.<br />

port, then was ruled by Rome and finally served the Republic<br />
of Genoa, when it was a cultural meeting point for writers and<br />

arrival. Should it not be possible to accommodate<br />
your group in the region booked, Eurotours<br />
Ges.m.b.H. reserves the right to accommo<br />
date your group in an alternative town/village<br />
suitable to the programme.<br />
3. Payment conditions<br />
All payments can be made per bank transfer. The<br />
client must pay any relevant bank charges. Should<br />
payment be delayed, Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. reserves<br />
the right to cancel all services following a written<br />
reminder. This does not release the customer<br />
from any cancellation costs as detailed in clause 4<br />
mentioned below. If payment is delayed, the usual<br />
bank interest rate will be charged automatically, but<br />
at least 14% p.a. Any additional costs incurred by<br />
Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. to enforce the claim, will in<br />
turn be reclaimed from the tour operator. Unless<br />
otherwise stated on the individual offer/sales confirmation,<br />
or in any other written agreement between<br />
the customer and Eurotours Ges.m.b.H., the following<br />
payment schedule will apply:<br />
• 30 days before arrival: 30% of the total amount.<br />
• 10 days before arrival: outstanding balance.<br />

the invoice will be issued by our Eurotours office in<br />
Germany from the following address:<br />

6. Responsibility and Liability<br />
Should Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. be unable to accommodate<br />
the clients in the reserved accommodation,<br />
then we will provide alternative accommodation of the<br />
same or better standard and position. Any additional<br />
costs will be covered by Eurotours Ges.m.b.H..<br />
Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. acts as an agent between the<br />
customer and the local suppliers and cannot be held<br />
responsible for any impairment (e.g. insolvency or<br />
other) to the services provided which are beyond its<br />
control, caused by a third party or the result of force<br />
majeure (such as, but not exclusively, war, or threat<br />
of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, adverse weather<br />
conditions, technical, mechanical or electrical<br />
breakdowns within a hotel or any method of transport,<br />
industrial disputes, governmental action, port regulations,<br />
timetable changes and all similar circumstances).<br />
7. Rates<br />
All rates are generally quoted net per person in<br />
Euro (E), except for Swiss products (see below)<br />
and include taxes and duties. All rates are due in<br />
full. Should there be changes to a local tax structure,<br />
you will be informed of these 4 weeks before<br />
they come into effect and increases will be passed<br />
on to you. We reserve the right to increase rates<br />
without prior notification. Eurotours Ges.m.b.H.<br />
reserves the right to pass on exchange rate fluctuation<br />
to the tour operator, which increases the<br />
rate by more than 8%. Products in Switzerland<br />
are quoted in Euro (E) and Swiss Francs (CHF).<br />
The Swiss Franc (CHF) price is the valid price, but<br />
the product can also be paid for in Euro (E). The<br />
price in Euro will be calculated according to the<br />
exchange rate on the date the invoice is issued.<br />
8. Direct contracts<br />
The customer agrees not to contract hotels/pensions/<br />
suppliers supplied by Eurotours Ges.m.b.H.,<br />
directly or through a third party for the period<br />
of at least 12 months after the last booking with<br />
Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. In case of violation, the<br />
customer agrees to pay 10% of the total turnover<br />
with the hotels/pensions/suppliers to Eurotours<br />
Ges.m.b.H. for the following 3 years. The amount<br />
due will be calculated based on the average turnover<br />
with Eurotours over the previous 3 years.<br />
9. Complaints<br />
Any complaints or problems must be notified to the<br />
supplier directly, and reported to us, in resort, within<br />
24 hours of the problem arising. If the matter remains<br />
unresolved, you must write to us with full details within<br />
30 days of the completion of the arrangements,<br />
enclosing copies of the customer complaints. We<br />
regret we cannot accept any responsibility for any<br />
claim not notified to us within this timescale. Any<br />
invoice differences must be notified in writing within<br />
14 days of the invoice date, otherwise our invoices<br />
will be considered correct and valid. Any differences<br />
do not entitle the contracting partner to a delay<br />
in payment but will be settled by credit note.<br />
10. Legislation and Jurisdiction<br />
In the case of insolvency, Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. is<br />
covered by a bank guarantee from the UniCredit<br />
Bank, Austria as well as under the insurance bond<br />
for travel agents for the protection of clients’ monies,<br />
according to the <strong>Travel</strong> Agency Insurance law<br />
(RSV, BGB1.11/10 from 15.01.98). The settlement<br />
of any possible claims is subject to Austrian law.<br />
The court of jurisdiction is Kitzbühel.<br />
