Little Trains of the Dolomites

The scenic Dolomites in northern Italy are a striking mountain range that rightly holds the title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With stunning views, diverse landscapes and plenty of fresh air, it’s a spectacular place to relax and explore, and we do so in style with a whole host of scenic train rides. Picturesque journeys are a wonderful way to see this beautiful region at a leisurely pace – think sheer cliffs and impressive peaks combined with luscious valleys and tranquil lakes. With a trip to idyllic Lake Garda too, this is a truly unforgettable getaway!

Day 3 – Bolzano, Soprabolzano & Collalbo

Today we enjoy a guided walking tour of the alpine town of Bolzano, the capital of Italy’s picturesque and mountainous region of South Tyrol. From here we take a cable car to Soprabolzano, making our way up to an altitude of 1,221m and admiring the views before we enjoy a nostalgic train ride to Collalbo. Take in the wide meadows and fields with views of mountain farms and glimpses of the beautiful Dolomites.

 

Day 4 – San Antonio, rack railway to Passo della Mendola & winery visit

This morning we enjoy a guided visit of the village of San Antonio before taking the rack railway to Passo della Mendola, a 1,363 metre-high mountain pass where we can soak up more spectacular views of the Dolomites.

Day 5 – Caldes Castle & Assessorile Palace

We catch the train from Mezzolombardo to Caldes, where we can take in the scenic vistas before we enjoy a visit to Caldes Castle. Work began on the castle in the 13th century, and since its construction it has become associated with many legends as well as a tragic love story. Next, we visit Assessorile Palace in Cles to discover more about the history of this atmospheric palazzo.

 

Day 6 – Lake Garda & Limone

With its deep azure waters fringed by pastel-coloured villas and olive and lemon groves stretching out towards the foothills of snow-capped mountains, Lake Garda is the largest and, arguably, the most charming of the Italian lakes. We explore this gorgeous landscape with a scenic boat cruise, stopping at the picturesque waterfront town of Limone for time at leisure.
