Charm of the Dolomites

Day 1 London – Rodengo
Titan’s VIP Home Departure Service® transports you from your front door to London Gatwick airport for our scheduled British Airways flight direct to Verona. On arrival, we transfer (approximately 2.5 hours) to the family run 3* Alpenland Hotel Rodeneggerhof, our base in Rodengo for the next seven nights, where a welcome drink will be waiting for us.

Day 2 Vipiteno – Bressanone
Today we depart for Vipiteno, a well-conserved ancient mining village, and the medieval houses still embellished with fine wooden carvings. After time for exploration we continue to the charming village of Bressanone, one of the oldest towns in the area with its old lanes and pass the Gothic town houses.

Day 3 Scenic Drive – Dairy Vista – Lagos di Braies
You can further enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites today as we take a leisurely drive along the winding mountain roads, with glorious summer views over meadowland and high-perched villages. We include an excursion to experience the making and tasting of some wonderful Alpine products at a local dairy in the Dolomites with a tour around the museum, and factory (opening times permitting), a chance on occasion to watch a demonstration of cheese and butter making and ultimately then to sample a platter of cheese, available at the dairy, accompanied by a glass of wine. After, we travel the short distance to view the small but beautiful alpine lake of Lago di braies before returning to Rodengo.

Day 4 Bolzano – Merano
After breakfast we travel to the charming village of Bolzano, which is markedly Tyrolean in atmosphere. Here we have included a tour at the Archaeological Museum where you will see the 5300 year old ”Ice Man” found in the glaciers of the Alps. After a leisurely lunch we travel to Merano, aptly called the city of flowers and a delight to explore. An elegant town, spangled with pastel coloured buildings, Merano features two promenades, one built under gigantic trees and the other under a covered art deco portico lined with original paintings, leading to an ancient castle and bridge.

Day 5 Innsbruck
This morning we drive to Innsbruck for a guided walking tour that will bring to life the city’s cultural and political importance during the 14th century under the Hapsburg dynasty. The main street of the Old Town is the Herzog-Friedrich Strasse and, close by is the beautiful Baroque Cathedral of St Jacob, built in 1720. Time at leisure this afternoon.

Day 6 Trento
Today we visit the spa town of Trento, close to Lake Garda with time for our own explorations, before returning to Rodengo where dinner is included at our hotel tonight.

Day 7 Brunico, Ortisei
Our first stop today is Brunico, overlooked by a medieval castle and where you may wish to spend some time in the town’s folklore museum. We continue to Ortisei and enjoy a cable car ride over the Seisser Alm region, scattered with alpine meadows and wooden farmsteads.

Day 8 Rodengo – London
Following our last breakfast, we return to Verona airport for our flight back to London Gatwick airport. Our staff will greet you upon arrival and transfer you to your Titan transport, for your journey home to your own front door.
