Take in the tranquil beauty of the Austrian Alps as you conquer the highest peak, roam on two wheels with your bike and even take to the air on a tandem paragliding trip. Cap it all off in style with trips to local restaurants, and the chance to kick back with your Contiki crew at our luxury Haus Schöneck - a Special Stay worthy of the name with an on-site bar and cosy lounge area.
This was my first Contiki trip and it is going to be the reason why I go on more in the future. Our tour guide was energetic, friendly, and so excited that everyone was there and just made every day an amazing time. Each day of the Active Alps was something new. I got to cross a lot of things off of my bucket list! If I got a chance to go back and do it again, I 100% would. It was the best week of my life.
