On our European holiday, we focused on three exceptional destinations designated in the renowned “Best of the Alps” collection: Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps, the Kitzbuhel Alps in Austria, and Cortina in the Italian Alps. The local villages and towns in the collection are slightly off the beaten path, but we quickly learned that they are totally worth the trip.
These bucket-list travel destinations all offer spectacular outdoor activities, unforgettable hikes, and magnificent vistas. While pristine nature is a common thread that runs through the Best of the Alps destinations, they each embody their own unique cultural identity and modern yet traditional lifestyle. Exploring all of these varied circumstances in the Alps within one holiday made this trip one for the books.
