About Discover Europe: Germany, Austria & Switzerland Program

Experience three iconic European countries in one unforgettable 10-day adventure designed specifically for high school students. This Travel For Teens school trip takes you from the stunning Swiss Alps to the historic cities of Munich and Salzburg, offering an immersive cultural journey that goes far beyond typical tourist experiences.

Your adventure begins in Interlaken, Switzerland, where you'll explore charming Alpine villages by train and cable car, hike through wildflower meadows, and get your adrenaline pumping with canyoning adventures. For thrill-seekers, optional paragliding offers breathtaking views of pristine lakes and mountain peaks. You'll walk across the famous Birg Thrill Walk and visit the stunning Trummelbach Falls, a waterfall cascading inside a mountain.

Next, you'll travel to Munich, Germany's Bavarian capital, where history comes alive. You'll visit the Dachau Concentration Camp—a sobering but profoundly meaningful experience that helps you understand one of history's darkest chapters. You'll also explore Munich like a local on a bike tour, climb the Alter Peter Church belltower for panoramic city views, and experience authentic Bavarian culture at traditional beer halls. The English Garden provides a scenic backdrop for relaxation and reflection.

Your journey concludes in Salzburg, Austria, the elegant city famous as the filming location for The Sound of Music. You'll visit Mozart's birthplace, walk through the perfectly manicured Mirabell Gardens, and see iconic filming locations like the gazebo where "16 Going On 17" was filmed. Optional visits to Salzburg Fortress or the Toy Museum let you customize your experience, and you'll also visit Hitler's Eagle's Nest en route, now transformed into a restaurant with unparalleled mountain views.

Throughout this trip, Travel For Teens emphasizes authentic cultural immersion. You'll stay in locally-owned accommodations in city centers, dine at charming authentic restaurants, and have numerous opportunities to practice German language skills with shopkeepers, street vendors, and locals. Your dedicated Trip Director and expert local guides accompany you for the entire journey, ensuring 24/7 support and helping you step outside your comfort zone to truly discover what it means to be a traveler, not a tourist. Frequent email updates and hundreds of photos keep families connected throughout your adventure.
