Lyon, France

Start in France’s culinary capital, where Roman ruins, Renaissance architecture, and gourmet food meet. Wander the Vieux Lyon, dine in a traditional bouchon, or climb to Fourvière Basilica for sweeping city views. A perfect launchpad for your alpine adventure.

​

Annecy

Often called the “Venice of the Alps,” Annecy enchants with canals, pastel buildings, and a pristine turquoise lake. Stroll the Old Town, rent a paddleboat, or cycle around Lac d’Annecy. Framed by mountains, it’s both tranquil and impossibly picturesque.

​

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

A mecca for alpine adventure and views of Mont Blanc, Chamonix offers glaciers, cable cars, and high-altitude hikes. Ride the Aiguille du Midi for jaw-dropping views or explore the Mer de Glace. Bustling, dramatic, and exhilarating — a true Alpine icon.

​

Aosta, Italy

Cross the border via the Mont Blanc Tunnel or Petit Saint Bernard Pass and descend into Aosta. Surrounded by peaks, this Roman-rooted town blends Alpine scenery with Italian history. Walk through ancient arches, enjoy mountain cuisine, and sip local Valle d’Aosta wines.

​

Lake Orta (Orta San Giulio)

Tucked away from the crowds, Lake Orta is a serene escape. Stroll through Orta San Giulio’s cobbled lanes or take a boat to the island monastery. Romantic, reflective, and utterly charming — it’s the calm before Milan’s urban buzz.

​

Milan

End in Milan, Italy’s fashion and design capital. Explore the Duomo, visit Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, or shop in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. A stylish and energetic finale to a trip through mountains, lakes, and timeless towns.
