If Lake Como is best known for its lavish Villas, authentic Italian cuisine, and romantic lakeside views, then its best kept secret is the accessible alpine beauty of the dramatic surrounding mountains. This region offers exquisite accommodations, genuine culture, historical perspective, and surprisingly remote and beautiful day hikes at the foot of the Alps. These mountains are so revered that a little-known hut system exists among the open meadows, Faggi groves, and high ridges that run along either side of the lake, some of which you visit on your daily sojourns from the famous lakeside villages.

Lock it in while you can! Our first Patagonia dates are sold out, but we added a second trip to accommodate you. Join us in the land of vast steppe grasslands, rugged and beautiful coastlines, endless foothills, and forests of indigenous trees.

Tour du Mont Blanc
ADDED DATES: Aug 31 - Sept 9, 2023
We just added a second set of dates for Tour du Mont Blanc, our world-famous hike that everybody should do at least once (and often sells out). Trek across the borders of France, Italy, and Switzerland during our ten-day TMB trip. Taking advantage of some little-known variations to the standard route, we lead you from the mountain-chic cafés of Chamonix to remote mountain hamlets en route to Courmayeur, Italy, and more.
