One of our customers (and drivers!) all time favourites is back again for 2018. The highlight of this break will be a trip on the narrow-gauge Alpine Rhaetian railway travelling through magnificent scenery to the winter resort of Arosa. Our holiday base is the medieval town of Feldkirch, set in Austria, close to the borders of Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein. Closeby is the tranquility of Lake Constance and Lindau Island. Our holiday price includes evening entertainment at the hotel. Early booking is recommended as this is a very popular departure.

Relax and enjoy the journey of breathtaking scenery aboard three of the most famous train rides in Switzerland. The first ride takes you from Chur to Arosa aboard the Arosa Express followed by the Bernina Express journey from Tiefencastel to Poschiavo. Save the best 'til last with a ride in a panoramic carriage aboard the world famous Glacier Express travelling between Andermatt and Tiefencastel. Every day brings even more spectacular scenery than the last - this is surely a holiday where memories are made to last a lifetime.

Kirchberg in Tirol is a classically pretty Tyrolean village and popular holiday resort nestled in the midst of the picturesque Kitzbüheler Alps, just 6km away from the world famous winter sports centre of Kitzbühel. This region is the very essence of everything that Alpine Austria is known for - crystal clear lakes, snowy mountain peaks, chocolate box villages and impossibly cute chalets bedecked with colourful flowers. This panoramic tour takes you through some strikingly beautiful scenery by road, rail and boat to experience the highlights of the Tyrol.

The August departure also takes in the charming Kirchberg Flower Parade (entrance included).

This is an old favourite of many Crusader Holidays' customers. Pretty as a picture, the Austrian Lakes District, is a glorious region of beautiful lakes, soaring mountains, hills and charming villages. You will see it at its best when you visit Mondsee, picturesque St Wolfgang and photogenic Hallstadt. You also visit the 'Sound of Music' city of Salzburg, renowned for its churches, palaces, gardens and magnificent Hohensalzburg Fortress, and not forgetting Berchtesgaden, arguably, one of the most scenic places in the Bavarian Alps. Your holiday base is the ever popular Tirolerhof Hotel in St Georgen im Attergau, a quiet village in the region of Salzkammergut about 4 km from Lake Attersee.

Christmas in Austria is something many people dream of -  the snow-capped mountains, picture perfect setting, a friendly, cosy Austrian hotel - so treat yourself to a very special Christmas this year, celebrating in style on this relaxing break.. You'll enjoy sumptuous meals and comfortable accommodation at your hotel, plus delightful sightseeing excursions.

A favourite Christmas break for so many Crusader clients, who return year after year.
