Rick Steves' Europe

S11E01 Austrian and Italian Alps

Nestled between Austria and Italy, the breathtaking Alps offer a blend of natural beauty and rich culture. Following our ascent of the Zugspitze, we explore Innsbruck, pay a visit to a secluded farm in Austria, and immerse ourselves in the festivities of a traditional Tirolean village celebration. Next, we venture into Italy, where we discover an exceptionally preserved medieval castle before embarking on an exhilarating ride through the stunning rugged landscape of the Dolomite Mountains.
