Highlights

A base in Alta Badia

Three nights in the heart of the Ladin Dolomites, where refined mountain hospitality meets one of the great landscapes of Europe.

Hiking Piz Sorega

A day on the high pastures above San Cassiano — gentle trails, rifugio tables, and the Sella massif filling the horizon.

Tre Cime di Lavaredo and Lake Misurina

The three great towers that are the emblem of the Dolomites, and the still waters of Misurina beneath them.

Sirmione and the villages of Lake Garda

Descend from the mountains along the lake — Sirmione's castle and thermal peninsula, and the olive-fringed shore towns.

Verona

The Arena, the piazzas, and the streets of Romeo and Juliet, explored from your base in the city.

Valpolicella wine country

Among the cherry trees and terraced vineyards north of Verona, with tastings of Amarone and Ripasso at family estates.

Vicenza and the Palladian villas

The city Andrea Palladio rebuilt, and the country villas that changed the shape of Western architecture.
