Enjoying nature and culture in northern Italy
From Lake Iseo via St. Moritz and Bergamo to Franciacorta
From March to October
A 5-day trip that offers everything nature and culture lovers could wish for.
The journey starts on Lake Iseo, where we will first take a boat trip to discover three of the five islands, and then visit the charming town of Iseo. The next day we change from Mediterranean lake scenery to rough alpine landscapes. On board a panorama wagon of the famous Bernina Express, we will experience one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. The destination is St. Moritz, where we will have time for a stroll and sightseeing.
After these scenic highlights, we will head to the cultural capital Bergamo, where we will take the funicular railway to get to the old town, enjoy a guided tour and have some ice-cream. The last stop is the picturesque Franciacorta wine region, where we will get insights into the production process and -of course- enjoy a wine tasting. This trip really knows how to involve all the senses.
