We begin our immersion into the "Sommerfrische" (imperial summer retreat). Stroll past elegant 19th-century villas and the Spa Park where the Viennese elite spent their summers. We can stop at a traditional confectionery for a morning coffee and exquisite cake, or even a light brunch (optional), soaking up the nostalgic ambiance while your guide shares stories of the monarchy.

A short drive takes us to the Rax Cable Car station. In just minutes, you are whisked up to 1,545 meters (5,070 ft) (Tickets included). Step out into a different world of fresh, crisp air. The Rax plateau offers a unique experience: enjoy a guided, easy walk along flat paths suitable for all fitness levels. Depending on your preference, we can reserve a table for lunch at the "Ottohaus" mountain lodge with a panoramic terrace or return to the valley for a meal at a refined restaurant.

On our way back to Vienna, we make a final atmospheric stop at the Semmering Pass. Your guide will take you to the legendary "20-Schilling View." Gaze upon the spectacular double-viaduct of the Semmering Railway (UNESCO World Heritage) surrounded by dense forests—a perfect photo opportunity to end the day.

Relax in your spacious vehicle. After a day of fresh air, history, and beautiful views, stretch your legs in the back seat while we'll drive you safely back to your hotel in Vienna.
