Please forgive what sounds like a lazy man’s question; we are simply overwhelmed. We are two couples, mid 60’s, traveling together on the My Way Alpine Tour beginning at the end of July. Rick has SO many wonderful suggestions. Curious if anyone WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS TOUR would kindly share their “must do” experience(s) with us? Truly, even a short sentence would be so appreciated.
We primarily hope to experience nature’s beauty, while keeping with moderate walks and light biking. (Finding the best luge would also be fun. 😝) Also, curious about a scenic train experience suggestion that didn’t break the bank or derail Rick’s intended itinerary.
Thank you for ANY kind responses.

Hi! I took this tour last year in late May/early June and absolutely loved it. I've thought about doing the trip again. I made a list of things I enjoyed, hope this is helpful!
Salzburg
Sounds of Music tour in Salzburg - https://www.mariasbicycletours.com/ (I bought this in advance)
Salzburg Fortress - Fortress Hohensalzburg
*If you’re Mozart/classical music fans you can visit his home and birthplace. They’re both museums now.
In Italy, we stayed in Castelrotto. I spent my time hiking in the Alpe di Siusi area of the Dolomites. There are countless trails with different levels of difficulty. There should be detailed info in the RS My Way Alps book that you'll receive. We also grabbed some maps when we arrived which were helpful.
Füssen
Hohenschwangau & Neuschwanstein Castles (buy these tickets in advance!)
The Treetop walk
Rent bikes! Almost our entire tour group rented bikes and went for a bike ride all around the local area.
*We stopped at the Zugspitze en route to Fussen. I really enjoyed going up to the top, it’s definitely worth it when the weather is decent!
Lauterbrunnen
Murren - the walk/hike to Gimmelwald
Schilthorn - there's a lot of 007 stuff at the top and the thrill walk is fun!
Wengen
Mannlichen - the Royal walk
Staubbach Falls & Trummelbach falls
Chamonix
Aiguille du Midi - it was clear the day I went up and it was glorious!
Hope you have a wonderful trip!
