After arrival in Munich, we will provide you with a rail ticket that can be used to get you to Garmisch-Partenkirchen for the start of the tour. The group will meet on the first day at 1 PM in the hotel lobby for a short excursion, followed by a safety orientation and welcome dinner in the evening.
We reccomend flying in and out of Munich International Airport (MUC) for this tour.
Day 12 is your departure day, and guests are free to leave at your convenience. Please note that we do not arrange or provide departure transportation (train tickets, transfers, etc.), but we are happy to offer guidance for planning.
For reference, if traveling from Brixen / Bressanone to Munich Airport:
We recommend allowing at least 3 hours at the airport prior to your flight. With the earliest train, the soonest suggested flight departure time is approximately 1:00–1:30 PM.
Alternatively, guests may consider flying from Innsbruck, Venice, or Verona depending on onward travel plans and personal preference.
Our Alps experts can assist with recommendations for your pre- and post-tour travel arrangements. Simply call or email us your plans and we are happy to help make the best of your vacation experience. Consider an Alpenwild Getaway, a short-stay, self-guided option that’s easily combined with your tour plans.
You will stay in carefully chosen hotels, small inns, and mountain huts that capture the authentic charm of the Alps.
The hallmark of an Alpenwild trip is our exceptional dining; including buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches, and many dinner options. NOTE: Alcoholic beverages, specialty drinks, one dinner in Innsbruck (day 6) and one dinner in Lanersbach (day 8) are not included.
We can accommodate a vegetarian diet, but since Alpine cuisine is centered around dairy products, accommodating a vegan diet is difficult. You’ll have plenty of whole grain and fresh fruit options at breakfast. For lunch, we will purchase items for the day and you’re welcome to come with us or give us specific requests. You’ll find the larger grocery stores have good vegetarian selections. For dinner our hotels will have vegetarian options, but not necessarily vegan. Other dietary restrictions like gluten-free may not be accommodated in remote mountain towns.
