EUROPE 1
Explore the beautiful Alps Regions around the world don’t come much more scenic and serene than the Alps, Europe’s extensive mountain range system stretching around 1,200km across the alpine countries of France, Monaco, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. A journey to the Alps could last days, weeks or months, so build an itinerary that suits your members and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Highlights of the Alps include staying in the castletopped old town of Annecy in France and riding Europe’s highest open-air railway to the rocky ridge of the Gornergrat where you’ll gaze in wonder at the Matterhorn in Switzerland. While in the Austrian Alps, take a cable car to the summit of Nordkette or channel the life of Mozart in Salzburg. Elsewhere, take any opportunity or vantage point to admire Mont Blanc, the region’s highest peak located along the French-Italian border and reaching into Switzerland.
