On our journey back to the hotel we will pass the vineyards of the Bündner Herrschaft before calling into Vaduz, the capital city of the Principality of Liechtenstein, for free time. Don’t be fooled by this postage-stamp sized city! Hugging the banks of the Rhine and crowned by a turreted castle its location is visually stunning and some of the prince’s very fine wines are also stored here!

Arriving in Hittisau, a sleigh will be waiting to take us on a romantic trip through the snowy hillside with a home-distilled schnapps served. Afterwards, we will visit Schwarzenberg. Located in the picturesque Bregenzerwald Forest, this charming destination is considered one of the nicest villages in the area. Later, we will take you to Dornbirn, where we will visit the world’s largest Rolls-Royce Museum before returning to our hotel.
