00:00Mix together two celebrities.
00:05How can you pack when you don't know where you're going?
00:08I haven't been as excited about something in a long time.
00:11Their destination unknown.
00:13Riga, where's Riga?
00:14Amsterdam.
00:15Throw in another twist.
00:17They must choose an envelope.
00:19Are we ready?
00:20I can't do it.
00:21I have a very bad feeling about this.
00:23One will get a luxury trip.
00:26I'm nervous.
00:27While the other one will travel budget style.
00:32This is high road, low road.
00:35This is amazing.
00:36Amazing.
00:44I don't think I've ever travelled with as much stuff ever.
00:47I've got t-shirts.
00:48I have jumpers.
00:50I've got long pants, short pants.
00:52I've got everything going on, so.
00:54Kevin Dundon is a popular chef, TV presenter and author.
00:58He was a viewer's favourite on Dancing with the Stars.
01:01Alicante, Milan.
01:03Oh, the North Pole's there.
01:04That would be really good.
01:06I don't have a clue what to expect, to be quite honest with you.
01:10The tea bag's packed anyway, so that's all that matters.
01:13Kayleigh Trapp appeared with Kevin on Dancing with the Stars.
01:16She herself is a social media star, well known for her lip-syncing videos of celebrities.
01:22Including...
01:23There I am.
01:24I've got long pants, short pants, flip-flops, tugs.
01:27Even I've got a frying pan.
01:29Jeez!
01:30It's like looking in the mirror.
01:32It's like looking in the mirror.
01:33I think it is like looking in the mirror.
01:34I think it's looking really well.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Where do you want to go?
01:37Doha.
01:38Prague.
01:39I'd take the Aran Islands.
01:40We might take you further than that.
01:41Let's see where the two Kevins are going.
01:45Austria!
01:46So it's the mountains of Austria for our celebrities.
01:51I hope you can ski.
01:53Yeah, I can ski.
01:54Can you?
01:55Okay.
01:56Looks like Kayleigh's going to be walking down the mountains.
01:58Anyway, let's find out who's going high and who's going low.
02:01Will I take A?
02:02Go for it.
02:03I've actually never been as scared in my life.
02:04Three, two, one.
02:05Ah!
02:06Ah!
02:07No!
02:08Oh!
02:09Oh!
02:10You just swap.
02:11I'm buzzing.
02:12Oh!
02:13Oh!
02:14Oh!
02:15Oh!
02:16Oh!
02:17Oh!
02:18Oh!
02:19Oh!
02:20Oh!
02:21Oh!
02:22Oh!
02:23Oh!
02:24Oh!
02:25Oh!
02:26Oh!
02:27I'm buzzing.
02:28In order to reach their destination, our celebrities fly into Munich airport.
02:31Oh!
02:32Oh!
02:33And then transfer across the border into Austria, onto the Alps and into the Gastein Valley.
02:39But where will they be staying?
02:42Are you looking for B&B?
02:44Ah!
02:45Paradise!
02:46Six.
02:47Ah!
02:48Look at this.
02:49This is perfect.
02:50Ooh!
02:51Nice bathroom.
02:53The family-friendly pension persona is situated in the village of Dwarf Gaston.
03:00A breakfast buffet is available every morning and there's both a games room and a winter
03:09sports storage room.
03:10It's got an amazing balcony.
03:11Look at that.
03:12The view is amazing.
03:13I cannot wait to get up there in the morning to go skiing.
03:15I might have to walk up there though.
03:16From Dwarf Gaston to Bad Gaston, where Kayleigh has arrived at the Gastein Valley,
03:17where you can get a lot of fun.
03:18Oh!
03:19Oh!
03:20Oh!
03:21Oh!
03:22Oh!
03:23Oh!
03:24Oh!
03:25Oh!
03:26Oh!
03:27Stop.
03:28What?
03:29Is this the sauna?
03:30Stop.
03:31No.
03:32I don't know if I've ever been in a sauna with a drink.
03:35I've never been in a sauna with a drink.
03:36Oh!
03:37Oh!
03:38Oh!
03:39Oh!
03:40Oh!
03:41Oh!
03:42Oh!
03:44Oh!
03:45Oh!
03:46Oh!
03:47Oh!
03:48Oh!
03:49Oh!
03:50Oh!
03:51Oh!
03:52Oh!
03:53Oh!
03:54Oh!
03:55Oh!
03:56Oh!
03:57The elegant five-star Straubinger Grand Hotel is situated in the heart of Bad Gaston, close
04:05to the impressive waterfall. It has 46 individually designed rooms and suites. Its restaurant
04:11serves alpine and international cuisine, and there's an infinity pool, a spa, and a wellness
04:18centre.
04:19I'm not leaving.
04:26Nestled in the impressive natural scenery of the Salzburg Alps, the Gaston Valley contains
04:31three scenic villages, Dwarf Gaston, Bad Hoof Gaston, and Bad Gaston. Although the valley
04:38is popular in the summer, in the winter, it is transformed as the temperature drops and
04:43the snow falls. Over four months, winter sports enthusiasts have access to over 200 kilometres
04:50of slopes across five different mountains. Over the next few days, our celebrities have
04:56experience the joys of the Gaston Valley, but from two very different perspectives.
05:03On a high plateau at the head of the Gaston Valley is Sport Gaston, often called the Alaska
05:14of the Alps.
05:16International dog sled races are held here annually, and it's possible for tourists to
05:21take part in musher training.
05:23Say hello to my little friend, Lily.
05:26First, we learn how to use the sled without dogs. The most important thing is how to
05:32brake. I will push you a little bit.
05:34Okay.
05:35Mat down. And brake. Yes! You got it!
05:41a bad dog!
05:42No aria. You're going to tip me for a spin!
05:47Three, two, eins, okay, go. Go, go, go, go, go, go! Okay!
05:56Spinder on, Willie John! That's my girl.
06:01That looks so much fun. You are flying, Kaylee. What about Kevin? Who needs huskies.
06:07Hush, hush, hush, hush, hush
06:11Oh, ho, ho, ho, all right
06:15Oh, oh, hang on
06:18Wow, he's almost gone off-piste
06:21It's happening now
06:24Just a little bit rustier to start
06:27The views are unreal
06:29Okay, Kevin, you've got it going in a straight line
06:32Here comes the bend, buddy
06:33Turn, turn
06:35I'm coming, I'm coming
06:37Yeah, come on, come on, Kevin
06:39Yeah, go on, the good thing
06:41Unbelievable
06:47Oh, it's so good, like the adrenaline is pumping
06:55And, uh, and Kevin
06:57Any, any adrenaline there, buddy?
07:04Well, we'll leave you to it
07:05They told me at the beginning I was getting two
07:12Thank you
07:13Then they gave me three dogs
07:15And then I ended up at four, so
07:17I'll take it, four dogs
07:19Nice work, Kayleigh
07:21What about the fellow with no dogs?
07:23Oh, ho, ho, he's picked up some serious speed here
07:27Yay!
07:28It was amazing, last year it was pretty cool
07:32Once I learned how to steer it
07:33Oh, I didn't realise I had to use my feet to steer it
07:36But it's cool, definitely good
07:38But it's cool, definitely recommend it
07:40Hey, hey, hey, hey!
07:42In the village of Bad Hufgastein,
07:56our celebrities visit an exhibition of carved wooden masks.
08:00These are related to the Austrian tradition of Krampus.
08:05You know what happened there?
08:06What?
08:07The wind changed.
08:08In early December,
08:12these hairy horned creatures appear on the streets
08:15along with St. Nicholas
08:16and the locals come out to witness their antics.
08:29Ah, they're not that scary at all.
08:31They're just big hairy fellas looking for a dance.
08:34It's not dancing with the stars,
08:36it's dancing with Kevin Dundon.
08:37Hang on, which one's Kevin?
08:39Is that him?
08:40No.
08:41What about that one?
08:43Oh!
08:44No, there's Kevin.
08:46Oh!
08:47Oh!
08:48Oh!
08:49Oh!
08:50Oh!
08:51Oh!
08:52Oh!
08:53Oh!
08:54Oh!
08:55Oh!
08:56Oh!
08:57Oh!
08:58Oh!
08:59Oh!
09:01Oh!
09:01Oh!
09:02Oh!
09:02Oh!
09:03Oh!
09:03Oh!
09:04Oh!
09:05Oh!
09:11Oh!
09:14And then they were on tour.
09:15Why was that young?
09:16Oh!
09:17Oh!
09:17Oh!
09:19Oh!
09:19That's all taken out of sight.
09:20Oh!
09:21Oh!
09:21First up on the tour is at the Mirabelle gardens. You should know that is the iconic stairs they use in a certain music movie
09:29For the Dormi song she was going up and down with a singing like though a deer. Oh
09:34Yeah, I need to tell you something. Sure. My surname is trap. Really? I think I'm related to them. You're joking
09:42No, I'm serious somewhere around Roscommon. They lost the Vaughan. I think they owe me some money
09:47I've tried asking but they shut the gates. They shut the gates. Yeah, they shut the gates
09:52The private tour takes Kayleigh on to the Non-Burg Abbey
09:56Its entrance gates and cemetery were featured in the film. We're here to see Maria
10:03Do you recognize the nice place?
10:05Is this where Maria or Julie Andrews, she went to leave? Yes, exactly
10:10That's the famous scene where she was like leaving the Abbey and she went to the family fan trap
10:15With her luggage and guitar, but you should know
10:19That here right now is the Abbey where the real Maria was. The real Maria?
10:26Well hang on here. Is that?
10:28Could it be?
10:30The hills are alive with the sound of music
10:37With songs they have sung for a thousand years
10:45I bet you Julie Andrews didn't have to put up with this snow
10:49Hello?
11:00Now there's nothing like a Christmas market to bring out the festive spirit
11:03Is that you?
11:05My mum always called me an angel so
11:07Ah well, your mum thought you were an angel
11:09Yeah
11:10Who are we to deny her?
11:11So staying in Salzburg, our celebrities are visiting the annual Christkindlmarkt
11:17Which is held in cathedral and residence squares in the historic city centre
11:25So here you see the silent night chapel
11:28In 1818 at Christmas
11:31The song was played for the first time in this chapel near Salzburg
11:35Oh, it came from here
11:37Yeah, it's in there hand blown
11:39And hand drawn
11:41Oh wow
11:42So yeah, quite too
11:42There's a lot of work here
11:46The Christkindlmarkt is famous for its food stalls
11:50But not every visitor brings their own chef with them
11:53A jelly donut is on the menu
11:55Kevin will cook it
11:56And then I eat it
11:57Yay
12:00I'm gonna turn them over like that
12:01And look at that, they get a lovely golden brown
12:04So I'm gonna put some apricot jam in there
12:07And then we've got some ice and sugar
12:09Loader on
12:10This is from me to you
12:12Thank you, Kevin
12:13Thank you
12:13I know you're gonna charge me
12:14Yep
12:18What apricots love me?
12:20That is delicious
12:33The Gastine Valley in Austria with its breathtaking scenery
12:40Is the surprise destination for our celebrities
12:43Kevin Dundon and Kayleigh Trapp
12:47Kayleigh struck lucky with the luxury trip
12:49I'm not leaving
12:51While Kevin drew the short straw
12:53And is travelling on a budget
12:54Come on, come on
12:55There are four ski resorts in the Gastine Valley
13:02With 200 kilometres of slopes and 42 lifts
13:06Now Kevin's a very experienced skier
13:09And while Kayleigh did learn to ski on a recent holiday
13:12She's about to offer her friend a high road treat
13:16I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity
13:18Yeah
13:19To go up way high up in the slopes
13:20Okay
13:21First thing in the morning
13:22They're in to centre around
13:23Just yourself
13:25Guide
13:25A lovely breakfast to finish off
13:28And I have decided out of the kindness of my heart
13:32To give that to you
13:33You haven't
13:34I have, Kevin
13:35That's amazing
13:36Yeah
13:37Thank you so much
13:37You're very welcome
13:38Well there's a very happy celebrity heading up a mountain with his private guide
13:44And as Kayleigh promised
13:45When they get to the top
13:47They've got that place to themselves
13:49They've now stopped the canola
13:51So therefore no one else can come up and join us
13:54That is high road
14:05It's amazing
14:06On the mountain
14:08In Gastine
14:10No one on the mountain
14:11Just me
14:12And
14:13Kurt
14:20Amazing
14:20It's the first time ever to be on a mountain with Virgin Snow
14:23I got him pinching myself
14:25Thinking is this real?
14:28Oh yes it's real my friend
14:32And it's real for Kayleigh too
14:34I'm pretty sure this is the baby slope
14:35I'm waiting for a pack of children to just ski past me
14:38But yeah, I'm feeling brave
14:45Kayleigh is testing out her ski legs at the Angertal Ski Arena
14:49A modern facility offering a family friendly ski experience
14:52With beginner slopes and ski schools for all ages
14:56The training wheels are off
14:57Right Dundon
14:59Bring it on
15:00Whoo
15:00Whoo
15:02Ah
15:02Ah
15:03Dammit
15:05I'm all talk
15:12Oh by the way
15:13Happy Christmas
15:14Back at Schloss Island Mountain
15:16Kevin's about to find out that his high road activity has got yet another perk
15:22It's such a beautiful setting
15:25You've got all this delicious smoked hams, cheese, pretzels, prosecco
15:30So I guess this breakfast was made for a queen but it ended up being for the king
15:34Well, you've had a rare old time, Kevin
15:36But I think it's about time you come back down to earth
15:39Or at least down the mountain
15:41You go on because I heard you're brilliant
15:43Oh yeah, I'm fantastic
15:44Watch this, Kevin
15:46Oh yeah
15:47I'll follow you
15:48Come on, Kevin
15:50I was very good of you to give me the high road
15:58We travelled the whole mountain I didn't see once in her
16:02What was it?
16:02Did you say thank you?
16:04I thought I heard it
16:05Thank you
16:05You're welcome, Kevin
16:06That's your Christmas present
16:07Ah, there you go
16:17It's dress-up time for Kevin
16:20So we're going to get on this train
16:25We're going to go into the middle of the mountain
16:27I hope it's a big space
16:28I don't like small spaces
16:32Kevin's visiting the Salzwelten salt mine
16:35An hour's drive west of the Gastein valley
16:38Are you okay there, Kevin?
16:40Active mining only ended here in 1989
16:44After over 800 years of salt production
16:47Here is the border between Austria and Germany
16:50This is the German side
16:51This is the German side?
16:52The Austrian side
16:53Yes
16:54So here I've got one foot in each country
16:56Yes
16:56That's pretty cool
16:57This is two countries in one day
16:59Yes
16:59And you can choose it
17:00No
17:01We'll prepare to stay
17:05What's that?
17:06We're not going in there surely
17:07No, sure not
17:08This is too narrow
17:09No
17:09Good
17:11These salt mines contain wooden slides
17:14That were originally used by miners
17:16To quickly travel between different levels
17:18Lean back
17:19Okay
17:19I'll hold you here
17:28What a way to go to work
17:30Can I do it again?
17:32No, Kevin
17:33But you can take a boat trip across the salt lake
17:36Wow
17:40It'd be perfect for brining my hams for Christmas
17:46So you also we see a nice salt line with different colors
17:50This comes from the minerals
17:51Oh wow
17:54It was most enjoyable I really thought
17:56You're welcome
17:56I definitely think that you've beaten me on the outfit
17:59Of the three towns in the Gaston Valley
18:12Two have the word bad in their names
18:15Bad Gaston
18:16And Bad Huf Gaston
18:18Bad's just German for bath
18:20And the valley here is famous for its natural thermal springs
18:24And historic spa culture
18:27There's a good choice of spa centers here
18:29That you can avail of without your clothes on
18:33Wait, hang on
18:34What?
18:35No, you're all right
18:36Thank you very much
18:37We're Irish
18:38We're doing none of that
18:40Austria is class
18:43Savage
18:44What do you dobs say?
18:46Oh my gosh
18:47I love it
18:48Love it
18:49The dobs wouldn't say that
18:50They'd say it's deadly
18:51It's gas
18:52Yeah, speaking of gas
18:54What are those bubbles, Kevin?
18:55That's not me, by the way
18:57Just saying
18:58I'm coming
19:01Now time for the sauna
19:02With its very impressive view
19:04As a lip-syncher
19:05I'd be used to not using my words
19:07But for once I really am speechless
19:11Plunge pool, anyone?
19:16Oh my god
19:20That's actually nice
19:21Yeah, it's lovely
19:21It's lovely
19:23I'm green
19:23Keep breaths
19:25Do it
19:25No harm
19:26Oh!
19:31Nighttime is drawn in over the Gastein Valley
19:33And a full moon has made its appearance
19:36It's the right place to be
19:37As they say in Cayley's home county of Monaghan
19:40If you're sick with the hunger
19:42I'm about to have a little personal chef experience
19:44Who do I think I am?
19:46I don't know
19:46But I'm going to laugh it all up
19:49At the Valerie House restaurant in Sports Gastein
19:52Cayley is enjoying a full moon dinner
19:56I could live off prawns
19:58And these prawns are definitely top tier
20:00I think you can always tell when fish is fresh
20:02And this is as fresh as it gets
20:07I'm trying local veal for the first time in my life
20:10And a dumpling on a bed of red cabbage
20:14Oh my god
20:15It's as soft as a pillow
20:16Wow
20:18I feel like I've been living under rocks
20:19But I've never tried a dumpling either
20:21And it almost tastes like stuffing
20:23But better
20:25I know Kevin Dundon
20:26He's going to be returning in his toboggan
20:29For this kind of stuff
20:30But listen it's all mine Kevin
20:31I'm on the high road not you
20:34And god only knows what he's eating right now
20:37I am starving
20:39Looks pretty good actually
20:40This is a traditional dish of the region
20:43And it's got a combination of pork and beef inside
20:48The flavours really come through
20:49And it warms your body from inside out
20:51Which is kind of perfect for this sort of temperature
20:53For me this is a perfect dinner
20:55Perfect dinner
20:56The best part
21:01And we have a nice little medley going on here
21:03A bit of everything
21:04It's blueberry
21:05And blueberry is my favourite fruit
21:07So somebody called ahead
21:10Take a schlab out of that
21:15It's crunchy and it's soft and it's pillowy
21:18And it's absolutely class
21:23What is going on
21:24When can you say you've had fire lit dinner
21:27Under the moon
21:28It's complete magic
21:40Schnapps is a traditional Austrian spirit
21:42Made from various fruits and herbs
21:44And at the Duritzbauer in Bad Hufgastein
21:47They've been distilling snaps and liqueurs since 1850
21:51The master distiller is Hans
21:54Tell us about this big machine here behind us
21:57Yeah
21:58Machine
21:58Modern people call us machines
22:00Yeah
22:01The fruits the mask you put in the inside
22:04Then goes the alcohol out of the fruits
