Milan (Milno) – Italy’s fashion and design capital, radiates style and sophistication from its world-renowned boutiques and ateliers to the historic architecture encasing the city streets. The heart of the city is home to the magnificent Duomo Cathedral, an architectural marvel that took nearly six centuries to complete. Milan also serves as a gateway to the arts, boasting the legendary La Scala Opera House and the famous “Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci, preserved in the Santa Maria delle Grazie. This vibrant city perfectly blends Italy’s artistic heritage with modern innovation, making it a highlight of any Italian adventure.

The Dolomites – Located in Italy’s northern region of Sud Tirol, offer a breathtaking canvas of towering peaks and lush valleys that beckon outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. This UNESCO World Heritage site is celebrated for its dramatic natural scenery, featuring some of the most stunning alpine landscapes in the world, ideal for skiing, hiking, and climbing. Charming mountain villages dot the region, offering a glimpse into traditional Ladin culture and cuisine. A visit to the Dolomites, with their awe-inspiring vistas and serene ambiance, is a truly enchanting highlight of any trip to Italy.

Bolzano, the capital city of Italy’s South Tyrol region, serves as a charming blend of Italian and Austrian cultures, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Dolomites. This picturesque city is known for its medieval city center, gothic cathedrals, and bustling piazzas that exemplify a unique Alpine charm. Bolzano is also renowned for its archaeological treasures, most notably the ancient Ice Man, Ötzi, housed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. With its vibrant markets and stunning mountain scenery, Bolzano offers a delightful mix of cultural heritage and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination on any northern Italian tour.

Day 2 (distance – 14 km) – We would start from the village Vipiteno, from which we would go to Gilfenklamm, nice walk along the mountain river, with wooden bridges and runways lead through the canyon with a spectacular sight to the waterfalls. This hiking trip will take approximately four hours. After we would have walk and dinner in Bolzano.
Day 3 (distance – 15 km, elevation around 900m) –We would have a quite exhausting loop to Seceda mountain, one of the most well known in that region. On the top of the mountain would be a nice restaurant, and those, tired from the hike, can use a cable car to go down.
Day 4 (distance 11 – 15 km): Depending on the physical ability of the group, one of 2 great and picturesque hikes would be chosen. In general, you should expect an elevation profile from 500 to 700m.
