Step by Step

Start your tour passing by the Salzburg city center with its beautiful baroque townscape
Before you cross the German Border, pass by the heart-chakra of Europe – Untersberg this fascinating landmark spell-bounding since centuries with its mythical power,
Hitler even chose to build his headquarters at the Obersalzberg, so he could see the Untersberg every day.

Arrive at the mountainside hamlet of Obersalzberg. Snake up the scenic road on a brief shuttle ride, enjoy breathtiking views of spectacular Alpine mountain ranges and deep blue Kings Lake.
Then, debark and step inside a World War II-era elevator made from brass, which once transported Hitler’s guests to the Eagle’s Nest.
At the top, bypass the crowds with a direct access ticket and enter the complex.
Built for Hitler’s 50th birthday, wander the site with your guide, learning the history behind it as you go. Soak up the incredible views as you look out from a perch of some 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) above ground.
Afterward, visit the charming Alpine town of Berchtesgaden.
Explore independently this picturesque historic center and make sure to try some local specialties during your stay.

    The Eagles Nest trip was an incredible experience, made even better by the efficient tour operators. Their clear instructions and efforts to get us ahead of the crowds allowed us to skip the lines and enjoy the site without delay. The Nest itself, surrounded by stunning views, was a truly remarkable location. You could feel the weight of history in the air. It was a fantastic day, and the well-organized tour made the visit seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for history buffs and nature lovers alike!

    We ended up going on the first day of opening. Our time got pushed back cause other important people were going up first. Because of this, we got to go to Lake konigsee first, which was lovely. Nice stop in berchestgaden. Seemed a bit chaotic at the buses at eagles nest. Guide was telling us we would be first, but we clearly weren't. By the time we got up there, we were allowed 45 minutes before we had to head back down again. I had to do super fast, stressful souvenir shopping so I didn't miss the bus home. But I'm still glad I got to go up there and see the fantastic views.
