1Bavarian Alps, Germany

The Bavarian Alps are home to Germany’s highest peaks and charming mountain villages, including the famous Neuschwanstein Castle.

The Alps become a winter wonderland during the colder months, with picturesque towns, skiing resorts, and warm alpine lodges. Known as the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle, Neuschwanstein is particularly stunning in winter, surrounded by snow and fog-covered hills.

Must-Do: Visit Neuschwanstein Castle and take in the fairy tale scenery of the Bavarian Alps.
