Eurotours Kitbühel recommends:
Sunset on the Dachstein Glacier –
more than panoramic views – page 18
The highlight of this tour is a trip on the panoramic Dachstein
Glacier Cable car to a dizzying altitude of 2,700 meters above
sea level. From here you can take home some unforgettable
holiday memories such as a walk along the Dachsteins suspension bridge, 400m from the ground, or a walk out on the stairway to nowhere at the base of the Dachstein Massive and the
Dachstein Ice Palace invites you into a mysticalworld of ice,
deep inside the glacier. Your day ends with good food and music in the Glacier Restaurant as the sun sets. This tour would be
perfect to combine with a trip to the city of Salzburg and a trip
to Hohenwerfen Fortress.
Eurotours Vienna recommends:
Highlights of Austria, Switzerland page 33
Discover some of the major cities of Austria and Switzerland on
this scenic tour through the Alps. Your trip includes highlights

brought the Habsburgs both the Hungarian and Bohemian crowns.
Continue to the imperial vault, the last resting place of the imperial family, which documents more than 300 centuries of Austrian
history. Pass the Church of the Augustinian Friars, where Emperor
Franz Joseph and Sisi exchanged their marital vows in 1854, then
end the tour at the Hofburg, which houses the Sisi Museum, the
Imperial State Apartments and the Imperial Silver Collection. In the
former private rooms of Franz Joseph and Sisi you can see some
of the original furniture, valuable silverware and private possessions
of the Habsburgs. In the afternoon drive to Schönbrunn Palace, the
former summer residence of the imperial family.

Today visit Schloss Hof, which was built as a hunting estate for Prince Eugene of Savoy in the 1720s. See the castle, with its imperial apartments,
the spectacular terraced gardens and working estate with animals. The
chapel is where one of the few Habsburg love marriages took place in

6. Responsibility and Liability
Should Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. be unable to accommodate the clients in the reserved accommodation,
then we will provide alternative accommodation of the
same or better standard and position. Any additional costs will be covered by Eurotours Ges.m.b.H..
Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. acts as an agent between the
customer and the local suppliers and cannot be held
responsible for any impairment (e.g. insolvency or
other) to the services provided which are beyond its
control, caused by a third party or the result of force
majeure (such as, but not exclusively, war, or threat
of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, adverse weather conditions, technical, mechanical or electrical
breakdowns within a hotel or any method of transport,
industrial disputes, governmental action, port regulations, timetable changes and all similar circumstances).
and include taxes and duties. All rates are due in
full. Should there be changes to a local tax structure, you will be informed of these 4 weeks before
they come into effect and increases will be passed
on to you. We reserve the right to increase rates
without prior notification. Eurotours Ges.m.b.H.
reserves the right to pass on exchange rate fluctuation to the tour operator, which increases the
rate by more than 8%. Products in Switzerland
are quoted in Euro (E) and Swiss Francs (CHF).
The Swiss Franc (CHF) price is the valid price, but
the product can also be paid for in Euro (E). The
price in Euro will be calculated according to the
exchange rate on the date the invoice is issued.
8. Direct contracts
The customer agrees not to contract hotels/pensions/ suppliers supplied by Eurotours Ges.m.b.H.,
directly or through a third party for the period
of at least 12 months after the last booking with
Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. In case of violation, the
customer agrees to pay 10% of the total turnover
with the hotels/pensions/suppliers to Eurotours
Ges.m.b.H. for the following 3 years. The amount
due will be calculated based on the average turnover with Eurotours over the previous 3 years.
9. Complaints
Any complaints or problems must be notified to the
supplier directly, and reported to us, in resort, within
24 hours of the problem arising. If the matter remains
unresolved, you must write to us with full details within 30 days of the completion of the arrangements,
enclosing copies of the customer complaints. We
regret we cannot accept any responsibility for any
claim not notified to us within this timescale. Any
invoice differences must be notified in writing within
14 days of the invoice date, otherwise our invoices
will be considered correct and valid. Any differences do not entitle the contracting partner to a delay in payment but will be settled by credit note.
10. Legislation and Jurisdiction
In the case of insolvency, Eurotours Ges.m.b.H. is
covered by a bank guarantee from the UniCredit
Bank, Austria as well as under the insurance bond
for travel agents for the protection of clients’ monies, according to the Travel Agency Insurance law
(RSV, BGB1.11/10 from 15.01.98). The settlement
of any possible claims is subject to Austrian law.
The court of jurisdiction is Kitzbühel.
