Don’t you judge me for starting the festive season early, I’m bringing you a Christmas Trapp of a lifetime in Austria and Bavaria.
How better to spend Christmas than with the perfect family rather than the one we’re all stuck with.
When you can celebrate with your very own Alpine family with Platinum Travel.
Our pals at Platinum always go above and beyond and that means for Christmas they’re lending us an ideal family.
Be My Guest

Platinum’s Connect With Locals lets you join up with a local family.
For an exclusive Be My Guest experience and Farewell Dinner in their home.
And we would of course insist at the end of the night that they bid us all…
So long, Farewell Auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight, I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu, Adieu, Adieu to you and you and you.
The very beginning

But in the best traditions of The Sound of Music let’s start this package at the very beginning.
Their Christmas Markets of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Leichtenstein is a very good place to start.
Their eight-day escorted tour with flights from Ireland into Vienna and out of Zurich covers seven cities.
Over eight days from €2,389pp November/December.
A local guide will whirl you around Vienna and Salzburg.
And for all the classical high culture of the Austrian capital and the Mozart of Salzburg it’s really Sound of Music you’re there for.
Christmas gifties

But D’oh that’s not all.
On this escorted tour you’ll get to take in the charms of beery Munich, the Passion pilgrimage Oberammergau…
The ski haven Innsbruck and Lucerne with its Lion Monument.
And an unexpected giftie in Valduz, the capital of Leichtenstein.
So as stores begin already to dust down their Christmas stock, even before Halloween, why not plan for a Christmas away.
And have the Trapp of a lifetime with an Alpine family.
