Eurotours Kitbühel recommends: 

Sunset on the Dachstein Glacier – 

more than panoramic views – page 18 

The highlight of this tour is a trip on the panoramic Dachstein 

Glacier Cable car to a dizzying altitude of 2,700 meters above 

sea level. From here you can take home some unforgettable 

holiday memories such as a walk along the Dachsteins suspension 

bridge, 400m from the ground, or a walk out on the stairway 

to nowhere at the base of the Dachstein Massive and the 

Dachstein Ice Palace invites you into a mysticalworld of ice, 

deep inside the glacier. Your day ends with good food and music 

in the Glacier Restaurant as the sun sets. This tour would be 

perfect to combine with a trip to the city of Salzburg and a trip 

to Hohenwerfen Fortress. 

Eurotours Vienna recommends: 

Highlights of Austria, Switzerland page 33 

Discover some of the major cities of Austria and Switzerland on 

this scenic tour through the Alps. Your trip includes highlights 

such as the Imperial Palace of Schönbrunn in Vienna - Austria’s 

most visited attraction and a World Cultural Heritage site, the city 

of Salzburg – home to Mozart and the sound of Music, the Austrian 

Lake District – home to the famous White Horse Inn, Innsbruck 

and the Nordektte mountain range with its spectacular views 

down into Italy and the spectacular city of Zurich on the shores 

of Lake Zurich. This is a great combination of Alpine mountain 

ranges and impressive cities. 

Eurotours Polska recommends: 

Romantic Train Rides in Northern Poland – page 106 

Discover Polish hospitality and steam trains on this tour. You will 

discover the old town of Poznan, enjoy traditional steam train 

rides from Poznan to Wolsztyn and from Znin to Biskupin and the 

birth place of Nicolaus Copernicus. 

Eurotours Germany recommends: 

The Moselle and its Gardens – page 62

This tour is a highlight for culture and nature lovers alike! You will 

discover the “Jardins des Traces” in France, a unique garden 

built on an industrial wasteland, the Butterfly Garden which can 

be found in the wine town of Grevenmacher in Luxembourg and 

the spectacular gardens of the Roman Villa Borg in Germany, 

with its sweet smelling roses, herbs and flowers. We have also 

included a visit to the iron works of the völkinger Hptte – a UN- 

ESCO world heritage site and as a contrast a visit to the world 

famous porcelain manufacturer Villeroy & Boch. Definitely a 

3-countries tour of contrasts!

from E 179.- 

On this trip you will get to see some fascinating sights of Salzburg, 

its villages, and be inspired by the beautiful landscape 


Day 1: 

Arrive at your middle-class hotel in the Salzburg area. 

Day 2: 

Surrounded by the lakes and mountains of the picturesque Salzkammergut 

region, Salzburg is certainly one of the most magnificent 

cities in the world. Your city guide will introduce you to the 

city‘s highlights before you have free time to visit the city on your 

own. Highly recommended is a visit to Hohensalzburg Fortress, 

the largest fortress in Austria. This unmistakable landmark, with 

its eye-catching baroque towers peeking out high above the city, 

provides the city’s world famous silhouette. 

Day 3: 

Enjoy a tour through the Salzburg countryside today. Travel to the 

town of Bischofshofen well known for its Nordic ski Jump. Enjoy 

some free time to wander round the streets before continuing on 

to the picturesque village of Maria Alm, nestled beneath the Hochkönig 

Mountain range. Enjoy a coffee and cake or take a stroll in 

the quiet of the countryside before returning to your hotel. 

Day 4: 

Today we recommend a trip to Zell am See and Kaprun. Zell am 

See is a spectacular Lakes and Mountain resort with a pretty pedestrianized 

centre and a picturesque lakeside promenade. Highly 

recommended is a cable car ride on the Schmittenhohe or a trip 

on the "Pinzgau" narrow gauge stream train or simply a cruise on 

the lake. After some time in Zell am See, travel to the resort of 

Kaprun where a trip up the "Kitzsteinhorn" is a must. This is the 

highest point in the Salzburg region and is home to the "Gipfelwelt 

3000" (summit world 3000) with the Nationalpark Gallery, Cinema 

3000 and Top of Salzburg panorama platform. 

Day 5: 

Our suggestion for today is a trip to the Salt mines in Hallein and 

Werfen with its spectacular fortress. Hallein is home to the Salt 

mine which is the oldest mine in the world that is open to the public.

Austria, your home for the next four nights.

Horse Inn. Your day is enhanced by a boat trip across Lake Wolfgang

Day 5: 

We recommend a half day trip to Bad Ischl today. This famous spa 

town in the Lake District was the preferred summer residence of 

the Habsburger family and is known for its impressive "Kaiser Villa". 

The villa and park were classed as one of the greatest treasures 

of the 19 th century and are a direct contrast to the magnificent 

splendour of the Vienna palaces.

Days of Pleasure and Indulgence in 

Upper Austria 

Discover the variety that the Upper Austria region has to offer. 


Day 1: 

Arrive in your hotel in the Linz/Wels/Steyr area.

for over one thousand years and enjoys a powerful location 

overlooking the Inn. During a guided tour you will be shown the 

church, cloister and the library before enjoying a wine tasting. In 

the late afternoon, visit the Jenichl farm in Altheim, which lives 

by the slogan “from dough to dumpling”. After a personal greeting

highlight is the 40m high tower 

where you can enjoy a circular 

panoramic view of the region. 

In the afternoon, take a trip on a

tour in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana. Here the old meets the

Austria, Italy and Slovenia. After passing over the border into Italy,

some time to relax and discover the town before travelling over the

rooms 

• Check-in at hotels is normally between the hours 

of 12.00 – 3.00 p.m. An earlier check-in may be 

possible on request or at extra cost. You should 

anticipate having to vacate your rooms by 10:00 

a.m. irrespective of the time of your departure. 

• For offers based on an unnamed hotel, the hotel 

name will be advised approx. 4 weeks prior to 

arrival. Should it not be possible to accommodate 

your group in the region booked, Eurotours 

Ges.m.b.H. reserves the right to accommo 

date your group in an alternative town/village 

suitable to the programme. 

3. Payment conditions 

All payments can be made per bank transfer. The 

client must pay any relevant bank charges. Should 

payment be delayed, Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. reserves 

the right to cancel all services following a written 

reminder. This does not release the customer 

from any cancellation costs as detailed in clause 4 

mentioned below. If payment is delayed, the usual 

bank interest rate will be charged automatically, but 

at least 14% p.a. Any additional costs incurred by 

Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. to enforce the claim, will in 

turn be reclaimed from the tour operator. Unless 

otherwise stated on the individual offer/sales confirmation, 

or in any other written agreement between 

the customer and Eurotours Ges.m.b.H., the following 

payment schedule will apply: 

• 30 days before arrival: 30% of the total amount. 

• 10 days before arrival: outstanding balance. 

For products with the main destination Germany, 

the invoice will be issued by our Eurotours office in 

Germany from the following address: 

Eurotours Deutschland 

Garmischer Straße 4, D-80339 München 

4. Cancellation fee 

Unless otherwise stated on the individual offer/sales 

confirmation, or in any other written agreement between 

the customer and Eurotours Ges.m.b.H., the 

following cancellation fees apply: 

• 30 – 14 days prior to arrival 

30 % of the total amount 





• Less than 4 days & no shows 

100% of total amount. 

5. Ticket reservations: 

All tickets must be paid 100% in advance. Exact 

payment and cancellation conditions will be given 

at time of the offer/sales confirmation. 

6. Responsibility and Liability 

Should Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. be unable to accommodate 

the clients in the reserved accommodation, 

then we will provide alternative accommodation of the 

same or better standard and position. Any additional 

costs will be covered by Eurotours Ges.m.b.H.. 

Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. acts as an agent between the 

customer and the local suppliers and cannot be held 

responsible for any impairment (e.g. insolvency or 

other) to the services provided which are beyond its 

control, caused by a third party or the result of force 

majeure (such as, but not exclusively, war, or threat 

of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, adverse weather 

conditions, technical, mechanical or electrical 

breakdowns within a hotel or any method of transport, 

industrial disputes, governmental action, port regulations, 

timetable changes and all similar circumstances). 

7. Rates 

All rates are generally quoted net per person in 

Euro (E), except for Swiss products (see below) 

and include taxes and duties. All rates are due in 

full. Should there be changes to a local tax structure, 

you will be informed of these 4 weeks before 

they come into effect and increases will be passed 

on to you. We reserve the right to increase rates 

without prior notification. Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. 

reserves the right to pass on exchange rate fluctuation 

to the tour operator, which increases the 

rate by more than 8%. Products in Switzerland 

are quoted in Euro (E) and Swiss Francs (CHF). 

The Swiss Franc (CHF) price is the valid price, but 

the product can also be paid for in Euro (E). The 

price in Euro will be calculated according to the 

exchange rate on the date the invoice is issued. 

8. Direct contracts 

The customer agrees not to contract hotels/pensions/ 

suppliers supplied by Eurotours Ges.m.b.H., 

directly or through a third party for the period 

of at least 12 months after the last booking with 

Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. In case of violation, the 

customer agrees to pay 10% of the total turnover 

with the hotels/pensions/suppliers to Eurotours 

Ges.m.b.H. for the following 3 years. The amount 

due will be calculated based on the average turnover 

with Eurotours over the previous 3 years. 

9. Complaints 

Any complaints or problems must be notified to the 

supplier directly, and reported to us, in resort, within 

24 hours of the problem arising. If the matter remains 

unresolved, you must write to us with full details within 

30 days of the completion of the arrangements, 

enclosing copies of the customer complaints. We 

regret we cannot accept any responsibility for any 

claim not notified to us within this timescale. Any 

invoice differences must be notified in writing within 

14 days of the invoice date, otherwise our invoices 

will be considered correct and valid. Any differences 

do not entitle the contracting partner to a delay 

in payment but will be settled by credit note. 

10. Legislation and Jurisdiction 

In the case of insolvency, Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. is 

covered by a bank guarantee from the UniCredit 

Bank, Austria as well as under the insurance bond 

for travel agents for the protection of clients’ monies, 

according to the Travel Agency Insurance law 

(RSV, BGB1.11/10 from 15.01.98). The settlement 

of any possible claims is subject to Austrian law. 

The court of jurisdiction is Kitzbühel.
