From Meran to Lake Garda Selfguided tour

From Meran to Lake Garda Selfguided tour 1469 €, 8 Days

Starting in the famous spa town of Merano, you walk through vineyards and orchards, past historic castles and sparkling tarns, and visit idyllic places with some of the most wonderful views. The mountains of South Tyrol and Trento are incredibly fascinating—they offer vistas of turquoise lakes, vast plateaus, deep river valleys, and dramatic canyons. The rugged peaks of the Dolomites accompany you along the way, giving you an excellent feel for the awe-inspiring alpine world of these steep and solitary giants. In Trento, you discover mountain villages with winding, narrow streets and idyllic stone houses before reaching your final destination: Lake Garda. Surrounded by high cliffs and nestled among olive orchards, cypresses, and fig trees, you can truly feel the Mediterranean flair. Sipping a cappuccino and enjoying gelato on the banks of the deep blue lake—La vita è bella!

Merano - a historic spa town with elegant villas, botanical gardens (like Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens), and scenic promenades.
Marlengo & Lana -
 gentle walking paths through vineyards and orchards, especially famous for apple farming.
Castles & Fortresses -

Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

Mozambique Tour: Your Complete Guide to Africa's Indian Ocean Coast

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
