A party are seen boarding a coach at Ostend and the narrator explains that they are headed for the Tyrol. Arriving at Seefeld in Tirol, there are shots of statues and a roadside water trough, as well as murals painted on buildings including the Haus Andreas Hofer hotel and a house with the name "Alois Albrecht" written on it.
The next portion of the film shows two of the ladies in the group getting on a chair lift, with views over the surrounding countryside. They drink coffee in a caf? at the top of the hillside and write postcards before descending again.
The next shots are taken in Innsbruck, where the winter Olympics had been held in 1964. There are views of the ski jump emblazoned with the Olympic rings, before shots of the town itself including the King Charles Fountain and Royal Palace.
The party then head to the Dolomite mountains and stop to take photographs of Monte Cristallo in northern Italy. The next stop is Misurina, where there are more shots of mountains and the group stop by a lake. In Cortina, there are shots of the ski resort, a bridge and the Hotel Concordia.
Back on the coach again the party pass more mountains and a hillside castle before heading over the Europa Bridge back to Seefeld. On the journey home they see the falls on the River Rhine in Schaffhausen and two women drink coffee on the waterfront.
In the coach again they drive through provincial France before boarding a Channel Airways aeroplane, and the film comes to a close as the plane is seen coming into land from the cockpit.
