Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Chamonix, France

    Say bonjour to Chamonix, a legendary mountain town set beneath Mont Blanc. As arrival times will vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing through the afternoon. The time is yours to wander Chamonix’s walkable streets, where cafés, outfitters, and historic buildings reflect generations of alpine life. As evening approaches, gather with your fellow travelers for a welcome cocktail party and toast the journey ahead.

  2. 2

    Chamonix - Annecy - Chamonix

    This morning, travel to Annecy, a lakeside town where water routes once carried goods, ideas, and people. Walk the medieval center with a local guide, tracing canals, bridges, and long-standing neighborhoods. Free time follows to browse markets, stroll along the lake, or settle into a café. By afternoon, return to Chamonix. This evening, gather over a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.

  3. 3

    Chamonix

    Experience the landscape surrounding Mont Blanc in the way that speaks to you. It’s your choice! Ascend by cable car to the Aiguille du Midi, rising to over 12,600 feet (3841 meters), where you stand eye-to-eye with Mont Blanc and take in views stretching across the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps -OR- ride aboard the historic Tramway du Mont Blanc, a rack railway that steadily climbs through alpine forests and open mountain scenery. Later, return to the valley and slow the pace with a gentle walk through the forests around Chamonix, sharing the crisp air and quiet moments of the mountains with your fellow travelers.

  4. 4

    Chamonix - Gstaad, Switzerland

    Bid France au revoir and cross into Switzerland. During today’s Impact Moment, visit Barryland, where a foundation actively preserves the legacy of the St. Bernard, Switzerland’s national dog. Later, board the GoldenPass panoramic train and watch alpine valleys and villages roll by en route to Gstaad. After settling in, take a stroll through town. This evening, enjoy dinner at your hotel.

  5. 5

    Gstaad - Grindelwald

    Travel through the Bernese Oberland, where alpine pastures support a long-standing dairy tradition. Visit a local creamery and sit down to a raclette brunch at a working farm, tasting specialties made just steps away. By afternoon, arrive in Grindelwald, set beneath the towering Eiger. Settle in for your 2-night stay. With an evening at leisure, explore this charming village at your own pace.

  6. 6

    Grindelwald - Jungfraujoch - Grindelwald

    This morning, ride a cogwheel train to Jungfraujoch (UNESCO), and find out why it’s called the “Top of Europe.” At this high-alpine destination, take in views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, and wander through the Ice Palace carved into the glacier. By afternoon, you’re back in Grindelwald with the remainder of your day free for independent exploration.

  7. 7

    Grindelwald - Lucerne - Seefeld, Austria

    You can’t leave Switzerland without a visit to Lucerne, where medieval architecture lines the lakefront and wooden bridges connect old neighborhoods. After your visit to Lucerne, continue through Liechtenstein, the only country entirely within the Alps. Arrive in Seefeld, Austria, and begin getting your bearings in the village with an evening at leisure.

  8. 8

    Seefeld

    This morning, settle into the slower rhythm of Seefeld during a horse-drawn carriage ride through the Tyrolean countryside. As hooves echo along quiet lanes, take in the scent of pine, the creak of the carriage, and the vast rocky backdrop. The afternoon is yours to explore Seefeld, or perhaps choose an optional tour to Oberammergau, known for its Passion Play tradition dating back to 1633 – walk the town and theatre site before sitting down to homemade Tyrolean dishes at a local restaurant. Return to Seefeld by evening.

  9. 9

    Seefeld - Innsbruck - Brunico, Italy

    Travel through the Bavarian Alps to Innsbruck, the historic capital of Tyrol. With a local guide, combine a walking tour of the Old Town with a panoramic drive that whisks you past imperial landmarks like the Golden Roof. Free time follows before crossing into Italy. As the limestone peaks of the Dolomites rise ahead, arrive in Brunico, your home for the next two nights. After dinner, an evening stroll through this town that dates back to the 1200s offers a glimpse of local life.

  10. 10

    Brunico - Dolomites - Brunico

    Spend the day actively moving through the Dolomites (UNESCO), where narrow valleys and high ridgelines define both the landscape and daily life. In Val Badia, hear from a local guide as Ladin traditions come into focus through language, food, and routine. Step inside a traditional maso, an alpine farm, where you taste Ladin dishes prepared from local ingredients and long-practiced methods. Later, ride a cable car up to Rifugio Lagazuoi, lifting above the valley as peaks unfold in every direction. This evening, Brunico is yours to explore at your own pace.

  11. 11

    Brunico - Cortina - Mogliano Veneto

    Today, it’s off to Cortina d’Ampezzo, set beneath the Dolomite peaks. Free time gives you room to wander the streets, pause at a café, and watch the town move through its day. As the route continues, the mountains fall behind and vineyard-covered hills take over. In Italy’s Prosecco region, visit a local vineyard and sample its sparkling wine, produced here as part of everyday work and tradition. By evening, a villa in the Venetian countryside welcomes you as you gather with your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner.

  12. 12

    Mogliano Veneto - Tour Ends

    Your journey across Europe’s stunning peaks comes to a close today.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
