Excursions & day trips

Bolzano and Renon tour with panoramic train ride

South Tyrol is the most un-Italian part of Italy. It's not just the Alpine location that sets it apart but its languages, architecture and culture. This excursion mixes the best of both worlds with time in the regional capital, Bolzano, and a scenery-rich train ride through the Renon Plateau. Martin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The railway first opened in 1907, and originally incorporated a cog section ascending around 1,000 metres from Bolzano, but in 1966 that section was replaced by cable car.'You'll leave behind the Mediterranean scenery of Lake Garda and head into the lush Alpine meadows and mountains as you near Collalbo. From here, hop on the historic Renon mountain train to Soprabolzano. As you make your way across the plateau, look out for the peaks of the Dolomites rising in the distance. The final part of this journey is possibly the most exciting – the cable car down into the city of Bolzano.Bolzano, or Bozen as German-speaking locals call it, is the elegant and prosperous capital of South Tyrol. It's where Austrian and Italian influences meet. You'll take a half-hour guided walk through the city before some free time to explore. You could visit the Gothic cathedral or head to the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology to meet Bolzano's most famous resident, Ötzi the Iceman. Discovered frozen in the Alps, this 5,000-year-old mummy and his belongings offer an extraordinary window into prehistoric life. Browse the shops and try some local specialities like apple strudel before your return journey to Lake Garda.

Excursions & day trips

Lake Molveno with local speciality tastings

The Brenta Dolomites steal the show on this day trip – think sawtooth peaks, dramatic alpine scenery and a real sense of escape. You'll spend time soaking up the scenery around Lake Molveno, where nature puts on a seriously impressive display. Johann, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This whole area is like a postcard come to life. The Brenta Dolomites are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and what better place for a swim than Lake Molveno, where the water comes directly from the Presena glacier.'First up, you'll stop by a local bee farm, where you'll learn all about the buzzing world of the apiary from the beekeeper. Watch the bees at work, then try three different varieties of honey, each with its own distinct flavour. Then it's on to Lake Molveno – a turquoise beauty nestled at the base of the dramatic Dolomites. It's one of Italy's best lakes for swimming with the cleanest, clearest water. You'll have free time to explore – a swim, a kayak or pedalo adventure, or a ride up the cable car for jaw-dropping Dolomites views. Or simply stroll the lakeside paths and settle in for lunch in the pretty town.To round things off, we'll visit the Marzadro Distillery, a family-run spot known for its quality spirits. You'll tour the facility, hear how traditional liqueurs are made, then try a few for yourself – from limoncello and grappa to local cream liqueurs and gin. You'll also get to taste some of the region's standout olive oil, offering a real flavour of Trentino.
