Highlights

The Tour links the UNESCO world wonder of Venice (at 0 m.a.s.l.) with Olympic St. Moritz at 1,856 m.a.s.l. in the Swiss Alps and on the "roof of Europe" on a daily, environmentally friendly train and coach ride that leads across incomparable landscapes. A world-class journey offering a wealth of cultural and panoramic sights:

• Venice: the "mother" of all UNESCO World Cultural Heritage properties with its lagoon
• Padova: St. Anthony's Dome and the Botanic Garden (UNESCO-listed property)
• Vicenza: the city and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto (UNESCO-listed property)
• Verona: the city (UNESCO-listed property), the arena, Romeo and Juliet
• Bolzano, South Tyrol: Ötzi, the world's oldest glacier mummy, the Dolomites and Reinhold Messner's Mountain Museum
