You'll depart London on the Eurostar to Brussels and continue to Frankfurt in Germany, where you'll check into The Frankfurt Hotel for an overnight stay with breakfast included.
Today you'll leave Frankfurt and travel to Munich, then across the border from Germany through the Austrian Tirol to Innsbruck, where the train climbs the Brenner Pass over the Alps to around 3,000 feet. As you descend through alpine peaks and pass the sapphire lakes of South Tyrol, there are sensational views to enjoy before disembarking at Trento. A short transfer takes you to Hotel Miralago, your base for the next seven nights. Before your evening meal, there's time to settle in and explore Lake Molveno.
Your day starts with a guided tour of Bolzano, a small yet culturally rich city. Next, ascend the modern gondola for 12 minutes to Soprabolzano, a village nestled on a high plateau on the Renon Mountain. Pause to appreciate the meadow and woodland scenery and superb views of the Dolomites.
Next, board the Renon Railway. This small, hundred-year-old train transports passengers across the plateau on an 18-minute journey to Collalbo. Some of the original cars are still operational; others have been replaced with modern counterparts. On return to Bolzano, there's free time to explore the historic centre that's influenced by Italian, Austrian, and German culture.
Today you'll explore Riva Del Garda, a bustling town located on the northern side of Lake Garda. A backdrop of lakes, valleys and mountains makes this a scenic spot for a stroll along an atmospheric network of winding streets. Board a boat for a trip across the lake to Limone, where there's free time before returning to the hotel.
Sit back and relax on the Castle Train for a journey aboard line 700 between Mezzolombardo and Caldes, where a 13th-century castle dominates the apple-growing village. There's a guided tour of the castle before travelling by coach to Cles to visit Assessorile Palace.
The day starts with a visit to the elegant town of Madonna di Campiglio, nestled at an altitude of 1,550 metres between the Brenta Dolomites and the glaciers of Adamello and Presanella. You'll venture into the South Tirol of the Dolomites for a return journey on the Mendola Funicular Railway. It's one of the longest and steepest railways in Europe, offering unforgettable views as it climbs 1,363 metres up to the Mendola Pass. Free time in Caldaro follows, where there's a market square and lake to explore. A coach transports you to Mezzocorona for a guided visit and local wine-tasting.
