About This Journey

The Alpine Heli-Link is designed for travelers who want the mountains without compromise: deep nature, elegant spa culture, private guiding, alpine cuisine and one unforgettable vertical transfer from Tyrol into the Dolomites. The journey begins with three nights in North Tyrol, where guests choose the alpine base camp that best reflects their style. On Day 4, the scene changes dramatically: a private helicopter lifts guests over the main Alpine ridge and into South Tyrol, where the pale limestone walls of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites become the new horizon.

This itinerary is ideal for couples, families or small private groups seeking active luxury, high-altitude beauty and a seamless transition between two of the most charismatic alpine regions in Europe.

Journey Highlights

Private Helicopter Transfer

A private helicopter lifts guests over the main Alpine ridge from Tyrol into the Dolomites — approximately 30–40 minutes of cinematic alpine crossing.

Choose Your Tyrolean Base

Der Böglerhof in Alpbach (traditional warmth), DAS KRONTHALER at Achensee (adults-only lifestyle), or Lebenberg Schlosshotel in Kitzbühel (castle-style glamour).

Private Mountain Guiding

Daily bookable private guiding in both Tyrol and South Tyrol, calibrated to fitness, weather and preferred intensity.

Dolomites Experience

Private guided exploration of the Sella massif, Gardena Pass, or the Seiser Alm — one of Europe's most celebrated high alpine meadows.

Dual-Region Spa Access

Tyrolean saunas and panoramic pools, plus the Granvara Vital Dolomit SPA in the Dolomites.

Seamless Luggage Service

Full-service luggage coordination around the helicopter day — logistics turned into theatre.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Guests arrive in Tyrol and check in at their selected base camp: Der Böglerhof in Alpbach, DAS KRONTHALER at Achensee or Lebenberg Schlosshotel in Kitzbühel. The afternoon is intentionally slow and sensory: mountain air, spa immersion, warm hospitality and the first view of the peaks.

The evening begins with a gourmet dinner inspired by regional Tyrolean ingredients.

Exclusive detail: A private welcome briefing can be arranged with the mountain guide to calibrate the next days according to fitness level, weather and desired intensity.

Today is dedicated to the physical beauty of Tyrol. A private mountain guide designs the route around the chosen hotel and guest fitness level. In Alpbach, this may mean a guided summit route towards Gratlspitz. At Achensee, the Rofan mountains offer lake views and alpine drama. In Kitzbühel, the Kitzbüheler Horn or trails connected to the legendary Streif provide a chic mountain setting.

After the hike, the journey turns inward: spa, sauna, pool and a restorative treatment such as a Tyrolean stone-oil massage, hay bath or alpine body ritual.

Exclusive detail: The day can be staged as a private peak and recovery concept, combining guided performance, scenic picnic moments and a signature spa treatment.

The third day brings a more place-specific alpine experience. At Der Böglerhof, the day can focus on a gentle herb walk, alpaca encounter or nature-based activity. At DAS KRONTHALER, the experience can become deeply mindful with guided forest bathing at Achensee and a yoga or breathing sequence. At Lebenberg Schlosshotel, guests may enjoy an e-bike tour to Kitzbühel's lake landscapes.

The afternoon is reserved for me-time in the wellness area: pool, sauna, relaxation lounges, treatments and quiet mountain views.

After breakfast, a private transfer brings guests to the helicopter landing point. The highlight of the journey begins: instead of a long road transfer, guests fly privately across the main Alpine ridge. The approximate flight time is around 30–40 minutes, depending on exact routing, weather and aviation permissions.

The route is conceived as a cinematic crossing: from the green Tyrolean valleys over the high alpine world, with views towards the Großvenediger region and onwards into the heart of the Dolomites. Arrival is planned at or near the Granvara Relais & SPA in Wolkenstein / Selva Val Gardena.

The afternoon is devoted to arrival at the Granvara:

garden landscapes, Dolomite views, the heated outdoor pool and the first feeling of South Tyrolean elegance.

The panorama changes from green alpine meadows to the pale, dramatic limestone walls of the Dolomites. A private guide leads guests into the landscape according to weather, ability and interest. Possible areas include the Sella massif, the Gardena Pass / Grödner Joch or the Seiser Alm, one of Europe's most celebrated high alpine meadows.

After the hike, guests return to the Granvara Vital Dolomit SPA for a final wellness highlight: saunas, pools, relaxation rooms or a treatment such as a Dolomiti Flower Bath. The evening concludes with a farewell dinner that blends South Tyrolean earthiness with Italian lightness.

After breakfast, guests depart from South Tyrol with private onward transfer. Depending on the overall journey, departure can be arranged via Innsbruck, Verona, Venice, Munich or Salzburg, or extended with additional nights in the Dolomites, Lake Garda, Venice or the Austrian Alps.
