01 Season · year-round, at its best in winter and autumn
Bernina Express
From Tirano to St. Moritz aboard the little red train of the Grisons, a UNESCO World Heritage line: the spiral viaduct at Brusio, glaciers framed in the window, the milky-white Lago Bianco. In winter it runs through a world of snow; in autumn the larches set the Poschiavo valley alight. Leave Milan in the morning, come home with your eyes full.

02 Season · October – November
Autumn foliage
When the woods change colour, a weekend gladly stretches out. Beech and larch forests in the Alps, the vineyards of the Langhe and Chianti, the chestnut groves of the Apennines: you walk slowly, eat well and come home with leaves in your pockets. A gentle pace for anyone who, after summer, wants to properly slow down.

03 Season · late September – early October
Oktoberfest in Munich
Bavaria’s most famous festival on the Theresienwiese meadow: tents the size of cathedrals, brass bands in costume, generous steins and elegant Munich a short walk away, between Marienplatz, the museums and the lawns of the Englischer Garten. We take care of train or flight and hotel: you keep the long tables, the laughter and the slightly hoarse voice on the way home.

04 Season · year-round
Italian art cities
Florence at the hour the museums open, Venice while the vaporetti are still empty, Rome from the rooftops of Trastevere, Turin between historic cafés and the Mole, Naples with an espresso at the counter and Vesuvius in the background. Two or three nights are enough, if someone has already thought about the train, the right hotel and the tickets to book ahead.

05 Season · late November – December
Christmas markets
The scent of mulled wine and cinnamon reaches you before the lights do. Bolzano and the squares of South Tyrol, Alsace with storybook Strasbourg and Colmar, Innsbruck beneath the mountains, Vienna with its markets in front of the Rathaus. Short weekends, long atmosphere: people come back every year, changing city each time.
