Hello - We are getting close to finalizing our trip from Montana through Italy, Switzerland and departing from Salzburg. The forum has been so very helpful! One more question, our last stop in Switzerland is 4 nights in Lauterbrunnen then off to Salzburg. In Italy we will buy individual tickets for where we travel. We are planning on purchasing a Swiss Travel Pass for our adventure in Switzerland.. Do you have any specific recommendations for train route? Do we need to purchase a seperate ticket once we leave Switzerland? Should we upgrade to business or first class?
Also, are there any tours that are a must see/do in Salzburg? Some that look pretty interesting: Dinner and concert at Mirabell Palace, Bavarian Alps. Passing the old baroque city of Salzburg along the Salzach River we head towards the magnificent Alps crossing the German border. Following the Kings Lake-Ache, our journey takes you to Obersalzberg where the second headquarters of the Third Reich used to be? Everything looks magical. We will be in Salzburg for 3 nights. We've ordered Rick's Austria book and hope to have it soon. Thank you again for your help. Mary
