Journey Before Itinerary
Four Countries, One Alpine Journey
From Zürich through Liechtenstein, Italy and Austria and back to Zürich, with the route, the transport and the stays worked out together.
Two Ways Across the Alps
South on the Bernina Express, north on the Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road, with six viewpoints on the way to stop, walk and rest.
Designed Around the Exception
The Transalpin runs once a day, coaches cannot use the Strada della Forra, and the high road opens only in summer. Whatever weather or season can change has a plan B: if the Timmelsjoch is closed, we cross by the Brenner.
Four Cities, Multiple Ways In
The route sits between four airports, so you can arrive and leave by the flights, fares and dates that suit you, or join it to a longer stay in Europe.
The Value of Staying
A whole day for the Dolomites: up to Seceda in the morning, then the passes of the Sella Ronda with your driver.
Live Inside the Landscape
On Lake Garda, a lake-view hotel, so Italy’s largest lake is the view you wake up to, not only one you visit.
Beyond the Usual Itinerary
A private boat on Lake Garda, the Strada della Forra from Quantum of Solace, and 007 Elements at 3,048 metres above Sölden.
Quality Over Quantity
Aqua Dome is an evening and a morning in the thermal pools, not a photo stop. Fewer places, each given the time it needs.
The Journey Has a Rhythm
Rail, high roads, lakes and peaks each set a different pace. The journey ends in warm water, so you go home rested.

How we decide where you sleep, how long you stay, and what to leave out.

No need to have every detail worked out. A place, a date, a group, or just an idea is enough to start.
