New Year in Austria, Slovenia and CastelBrando

A truly spectacular New Year Adventure

Celebrate New Year in wonderful Salzburg, exciting Slovenia and stay in a centuries old castle

Spend New Year’s Eve exploring the Austrian Lakes District followed by dinner celebrations in sensational Salzburg, and New Year’s Day on an exhilarating horse and carriage ride through the mountains. Relax over 3 nights beside gorgeous Lake Bled, follow the shoreline of beautiful Lake Bohinj, catch a cable car up into the snow clad Slovenian Alps, glide on a historic boat across the lake to a Church on an Island, and visit elegant Ljubljana. In Postojna take a mesmerising train ride deep into to a stupendous labyrinth of massive caves and later wander through a cliff clinging fortress. As a finale stay in a massive baronial Castle in the foothills of the Italian Dolomites. Fabulous food, festivities, fun… what a way to celebrate the New Year!
