Austrian Treasure Trail in London

The prize is not bad, if we do say so ourselves. A 10-night tour of Austria with flights, accommodation and activities in every region for the In Pursuit of Austria Competition winner and a lucky companion of their choice. Just imagine: You start your journey with a luscious spa treatment and a glass of sparkling wine on the roof terrace of your Bregenzerwald hotel, move on to Montafon and master a 3000m mountain, bake a “Brandteigtorte” in the Alpbach Valley to impress friends back home, discover breathtaking landscapes and spend the night in a traditional alpine hut  with your Eagle’s Walk guide in Tirol, have a cooking lession with one of Austria’s top chefs on the top of a Zillertal mountain, then complete your trip from a different angle by paraglider or hot air balloon in Innsbruck!

With such a fantastic prize at stake we have been keeping competition entrants preoccupied with weekly taster breaks and an Austrian Treasure Trail in London. The first week saw participants entered into an additional prize draw for a 2-night trip to Salzburg, including a guided “Walk of Modern Art” through the city. This inspired us to leave a mark of Austrian culture and the finer things of life on London’s famous sights with a giant Mozartkugel Measuring Tape – fully functional and, of course, edible! Someone who got to know all about Austrian indulgence was Jenny, winner of our epic Year’s Supply of Chocolate prize draw amongst those of you who joined us for afterwork drinks at the Kipferl restaurant in Angel.

Week two we showed Londoners that delicious cuisine is enjoyed best against a refined natural backdrop with an Austrian picnic in the park and live string duo to accompany. Even the British weather was on our side and we were amazed by the turnout. Thanks to all those who waited in line  for their Austrian lunch box, but we are sure those Schnitzel sandwiches were worth the wait! The giveaway of the week was a trip to Vorarlberg’s Lake Constance region for a Bregenz Festival performance and chauffeur-driven journey in a Rolls-Royce, a wonderful taster of what lies in store for the final week.

Marking the last stretch of the In Pursuit of Austria Competition, we would like to invite you on an In Pursuit Bike Tour of London, taking place on Thursday 29th March 2012. After a long day in the office you might want to stretch your legs Austrian style – by pushing the pedals. Enjoy the fresh air and see the city from a different perspective as you cruise it by night, but not by yourself or on an empty stomache! Bring a friend to experience Austrian hospitality and we’ll provide the food and drinks to enjoy on board. To be in with a chance of winning this unique tour of London, make sure you stop for our “In Pursuit Team” that will be biking around the city throughout the day.
