Alpine secrets few travellers ever reach — balanced against Italy's most iconic wonders.
Five days that swing from paddleboards on a lake no tourist knows to the cathedrals of Milan, from 3,200 metres of high-alpine freedom to a sunset sail to Bellagio.
Arrive at Milan Malpensa and drive into the lesser-known alpine gem of Valle Mosso. Wander Biella's old town — a spot few tourists reach — and dine high in the Alps with a view almost entirely your own.
Begin at serene Lake Viverone, paddleboarding at sunrise, then hike from the Basilica of Oropa. In the evening, sweeping mountain views at Oasi Zegna and an alpine dinner far off the beaten path.
Ascend to Alagna Valsesia by cable car, reaching 3,200 metres. Explore the alpine wilderness at your own pace — no crowds, just nature — then unwind with a tasting of Alpine vintages found nowhere else.
From the hidden Alps to the iconic: a morning on Lake Como, a train to Milan for cathedrals, galleries and luxury shopping, then back to Como and a sail to Bellagio for a lakeside sunset.
After immersing yourself in both hidden alpine corners and Italy's icons, depart from Milan Malpensa carrying a perfect balance of secret vistas and renowned marvels.
