German Self Drive Tour: Bavaria, Salzburg and Tyrol

The first day of your luxurious self-guided driving tour of Germany and Austria warms up with a run south through backroads in the Bavarian countryside. From here you will cross into Austria and arrive at your second hotel — a postcard-worthy five-star converted castle on the shores of a stunning lake in Salzburg.

Day two of your self-drive takes you south to conquer the superb Grossglockner alpine pass. The route is incredibly scenic and quite technical — a delight for both drivers and passengers. Later, check into an opulent hotel in a picturesque alpine town. We recommend dining on the terrace (weather permitting!).

On the third day of your drive, you will continue back up north via a series of lesser-known but enjoyable alpine passes and roads, passing through the renowned ski town of Kitzbuhel. In the afternoon, you will cross back into Bavaria to carve up the backroads around Tegernsee, where you can conclude the drive with a glass of champagne (or two!).

Enjoy a sleep-in and a leisurely breakfast before departure. Check-out from the hotel is midday, and from here the day is yours before transfers and onwards travel. Time permitting, we recommend returning to Munich for the day to enjoy a hosted city tour exploring the history, architecture, food and, of course, beer, for which Bavaria is famed.
