Stay in a beautiful village on the shores of Lake Como, enjoy a cruise on the lake and take a ride on the iconic Bernina railway to St Moritz


This bestselling trip is back for 2023!

Lake Como is one of the most picturesque of Italy's lakes, with its chic restaurants, elegant towns, and ornate lakeside villas. It's no wonder it's been the stomping ground of aristocrats, artists and celebrities for centuries.

This all-inclusive holiday includes a seven-night stay in Colico, a stunning village on the shore of Lake Como, where you'll be charmed by the crystal clear lake waters and the magnificence of the towering Alps. You'll have plenty of time to unwind, admire peaceful scenery and explore the charming towns and villages of this dreamy Italian region.

A stay on the lake would not be complete without a boat trip. You can sit back and relax as the views of quaint lakeside ports, pretty villages and magnificent mountain scenery pass you by.

You'll also be able to appreciate the beauty of neighbouring Switzerland on this special tour, with a day trip to elegant St Moritz on the Bernina Railway. This enthralling train ride takes you along the highest railway line in the Alps and the spacious, panoramic carriages provide a unique viewpoint for you to admire the best of Switzerland's pristine lakes and stunning mountain tops.

Your home for this trip will be the 19th-century Hotel Risi, located right on the northern shores of Lake Como. Traditional Italian dishes will be served over three courses at dinner, and each morning you'll enjoy a fresh continental breakfast.

ST MORITZ AND THE BERNINA RAILWAY
Synonymous with style, elegance and sophistication, St Moritz is Switzerland's premier Alpine resort, loved by celebrities and royals alike. You'll travel there on the Bernina Railway, a UNESCO-listed panoramic railway that will take you through spectacular mountain scenery.
