Amidst the impressive Alpine landscape, a festive atmosphere full of coziness, tradition, and winter magic awaits you. Holzgau, known for its warm hospitality, invites you to experience the contemplative time of the year in a unique setting. Feel the tranquility and beauty of the valley, which is usually already covered in snow at this time of year. Enjoy festive customs and let yourself be enchanted by the winter nature. This journey promises unforgettable moments that reflect the Christmas season in its most beautiful form.

Day 1 | Arrival

Departure in the morning and drive to Holzgau in the Lechtal. You will be warmly welcomed at the hotel with a glass of elderflower sparkling wine. Check-in and dinner.

Day 2 | Winter Alpine Tour

Today, you can expect a tour through some of the most beautiful winter landscapes of the Alps. The route leads over Ehrwald, nestled in the impressive mountain world of the Tyrolean Zugspitze Arena, to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where Bavarian tradition meets alpine flair. Next, we head to the baroque Ettal Monastery, where you will have time for an individual lunch break. Afterwards, you will drive through the idyllic pre-Alpine landscape to the famous Wies Church (UNESCO World Heritage Site). The magnificent Rococo church is particularly impressive in winter and invites for a short, contemplative stay. You will return to the hotel via Füssen.

Day 3 | Lechtal

Today, you will experience the diverse natural and cultural landscape on a winter tour through the Lechtal. Snow-covered mountain landscapes, picturesque villages, and the wild-romantic Lech accompany you on this impressive route. In Reutte, the main town of the region, you will make a stop. During a city tour, you will discover the charming town, which is idyllically situated between mountains and lakes. Reutte has a long history and was once an important trading place. After the visit, there will be time for a short individual stroll before you continue your journey through the wintery Lechtal and enjoy the special atmosphere of this alpine region.

Day 4 | Innsbruck

The days are getting shorter, and the snow-covered mountain peaks are already shining from the mountains. This is the time for pre-Christmas customs in the mountains. In Innsbruck, you will learn more about Krampus, Berchten, and spooky or sometimes even original pre-Christmas customs. During a walk through the medieval streets of Innsbruck, you will learn a lot of interesting things about these mystical customs as well as the exciting and varied history of Innsbruck. Afterwards, you will have free time. Stroll through the Christmas market located right in front of the Golden Roof. A detour to Kiebachgasse, parallel to Herzog-Friedrich-Straße, is also worthwhile. In December, it becomes the fairy tale street, when numerous figures from the most famous fairy tales look down from house fronts, bay windows, and gables onto the street.
