Austrian and Italian Alps

Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on In the Alps of Austria and Italy, we celebrate both nature and culture. After conquering the Zugspitze, we tour Innsbruck, visit a remote farm in Austria, and join in a Tirolean village festival. Then we cross the Alps into Italy and tour a uniquely well-preserved medieval castle before joyriding deep into the rugged Dolomite Mountains. After an unforgettable hike, we catch our breath in Europe’s largest high-altitude meadow, then enjoy some more alpine folk music. #ricksteves #austrianalps #italianalps Visit for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
