We’ve discovered a lavishly restored country house in Tuscany for our 2007 Siena & Palio programs. The luxurious and newly-opened Hotel le Fontanelle dates to the 13th century and sits across the valley from Castello di Brolio and the Chianti Classico vineyards.  The atmosphere is so quintessentially Tuscan that recent guests opted for some down time to absorb its authentic charm, which we happily obliged. 

It’s not too late to book our January and February Swiss Winter Alps adventures, based in Gstaad.  All of our trips are designed for those yearning for something different, but still wanting all the comforts of their luxury lifestyle—or better!  Suggest our 6-day Highlights of the Winter Alps or 9-day Highlights of the Winter Alps & Chateau d’Oex International Balloon Festival programs.

Spotlight On Just Plain Fun!
Swiss Summer in the Emmental & Jungfrau Regions

Switzerland is one of the most visually-captivating places on earth, and our 5-day Swiss Summer in the Emmental & Jungfrau Regions is packed with adventure and jaw-dropping views that your clients will love, from green velvet valleys to secret ice-crystal worlds at the top of the majestic Alps.  Our adventures include a cog railway train through stunning scenery to Kleine Scheidegg and the foot-traffic village of Wengen, and excursion by helicopter to Aletsch glacier and the ice falls on the north face of the Eiger.  We’ll cable car to lunch on the top of the Schilthorn where James Bond’s Her Majesty’s Secret Service was filmed, and cruise sparkling Lake Thun, thick with medieval towns and storybook castles. Late each afternoon your clients will find themselves drifting in our low-level balloons through the rolling meadowlands of the Emmental, where delighted locals wave as we float through brilliant landscapes of munching cows, dairy farms, and ancient villages with authentic chalets dressed in flowered window boxes and crisp lace curtains.  Four-nights at Bern’s 5 star Hotel Bellevue Palace is the perfect complement to this enchanting, multi-dimensional trip. June, July, August, 2007. All-Inclusive from Europe, $7,471 per person, double.
