EXPERIENCE
Fully customisable
When you have the luxury of quiet immersion in a destination rather than a rushed agenda, you'll have time—time to connect with those you cherish and to savour experiences that nourish the mind, body, and soul. Begin your journey in Vienna, where you and your loved ones can enjoy VIP seating at the Musikverein’s Golden Hall, or closed-door access to Schönbrunn Palace. Or an after-hours tour of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, where you and your companions can stand alone before a Bruegel or Titian, concluding with a private gallery toast. If you have equine lovers among you, head out in the morning to the Spanish Riding School to observe the Lipizzaners' graceful morning exercise, with an optional stable visit. Make sure you get some downtime at the thermal baths,, or go for a chef-led tasting walk through traditional Viennese cafes where you can try local specialities such as Melane or Sachertorte. Visit artisans at their ateliers where you can see glassmakers, milliners or gilders practise their craft, and even try it yourself. Journey to the tranquil Lake Fuschl, where you can take your fill of the many active pursuits in the area, such as e-biking, forest bathing and gentle lake activities. Delve into Salzburg's history with a private guided tour of the DomQuartier, exploring its UNESCO-listed state rooms and Baroque terraces. Salzburg is also home to Stiegl Brauwelt—swing by for a beer tasting at the brewery that has been brewing beer in the city since 1492, the year Christopher Colombus “discovered” America. If wine is more your thing, your group can detour to Wachau Valley when en-route between Vienna and Salzburg. There, in Austria’s UNESCO-listed wine region, have lunch at a local vineyard or stop by a Heuriger (local tavern) for a sip. You and your companions can also enjoy culinary innovation at its finest at Restaurant Ikarus at Red Bull Hangar-7. Here, the menu changes monthly with avant-garde guest chefs from around the globe, set against a backdrop of Red Bull’s extraordinary aviation collection. If history and tradition are more your thing, opt for the Mozart Dinner Concert at St Peter’s Baroque Hall, within St Peter Stiftskulinarium, Europe’s oldest inn and restaurant. For a holistic approach to wellbeing, your party will also have access to MAYRLIFE diagnostics and detox therapies in Altaussee, thermal treatments and lakeside mindfulness rituals. Here is an opportunity for authentic connection – to history, to nature, and most importantly, to one another.

WHY VISIT VIENNA?
Once the seat of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna still wears its imperial past with pride—palaces like Schönbrunn and the Hofburg dazzle with rococo splendor, while the Ringstrasse boulevard is a procession of architecture, music, and art.
The beautiful city is alive with culture, with regular performance by the Vienna Philharmonic and the State Opera that make the city a must-visit for music lovers. The city’s coffeehouses—such as Café Central and Landtmann—are salons of conversation and bonding, where intellectuals once debated important matters of the day and today’s travellers linger over Sachertorte and Wiener Melange.
Vienna’s culinary scene is undoubtedly impressive. From Wiener Schnitzel to Imperial Torte, every dish tells a story, be it at a quiet café or at a Michelin-starred establishment.
Green spaces like the Prater and the Vienna Woods offer respite, while the Danube flows quietly through the city. Whether you’re exploring the MuseumsQuartier or dancing at the Vienna Opera Ball, the city invites you to live beautifully.
Vienna isn’t just a place—it’s a lifestyle; one of refinement, depth and joy.
WHY VISIT SALZBURG?
Salzburg is where baroque beauty meets alpine drama. The city is the birthplace of Mozart and backdrop to The Sound of Music, and its UNESCO-listed Old Town is an idyllic place to spend an afternoon, with its pastel facades, wrought-iron signs, and the Hohensalzburg Fortress rising above it in the soft rays of the sun.
From the prestigious Salzburg Festival to impromptu performances in Mirabell Gardens, the city invites music lovers to listen, feel, and be moved. Mozart’s birthplace is now a museum, offering intimate glimpses into the life of a prodigy whose legacy still echoes through concert halls and cafés.
Beyond music, Salzburg is also known for its café culture—try a Mozartkugel at Café Tomaselli, Austria’s oldest coffee house—or dine at St. Peter Stiftskulinarium, a restaurant that has been serving guests since 803 AD. For the adventurous, the surrounding Alps offer hiking, skiing and golfing amidst breathtaking panoramic views.
Whether you’re tracing the steps of Julie Andrews or sipping wine in a centuries-old courtyard, Salzburg is more than a destination, it's where you can feel like you've truly seen the heart of Austria.
WHY VISIT FUSCHL?
Nestled in the Salzkammergut region, Fuschl am See offers a secluded alpine retreat that feels worlds away from the bustle of city life, yet is a mere 20-minute drive from the cultural heart of Salzburg. This region has been a serene summer haven for Austrian aristocracy for centuries, a heritage that imbues the area with a sense of refined, timeless calm. Lake Fuschl itself is a tranquil, turquoise gem, celebrated for its pristine water quality and peaceful surroundings. Unlike the more frequented lakes nearby, Fuschl has retained its quiet, exclusive charm, which can be seen and felt from the castle hotel and the secluded chalets along its shores.
Beyond its natural beauty, Fuschl is a gateway to authentic experiences that truly define an insider’s journey. The village is home to a traditional "Fischerei" (fishery) that has been operating on the lake for generations. Here, you can watch the fishermen haul in their daily catch of trout and arctic char, which are then served at the Schloss's lakeside restaurant. For those with an appreciation for history, the region is steeped in the story of "white gold", as the historic wealth of Salzburg (literal translation: salt fortress) was built on the salt trade from nearby mines like the one in Hallein.
This unique connection to the land and its history allows you to truly relish the culture, revitalise your senses, and refuel with experiences that matter. It’s an alpine sanctuary where you can pause, reflect, and genuinely connect with nature and your loved ones.
