Itinerary
We will meet our tour leader at 10.15am for our KM Malta Airlines flight to Milan Linate airport departing at 12.45pm and arriving at 2.45pm. We will proceed to our 3-star Hotel Elena in St. Vincent in Valle d’Aosta. After check-in, we can join the tour leader for a familiarisation walk.
Today’s full-day optional excursion will take us to Annecy, also called “the Little Venice of France”. Here, we will see the Annecy Castle overlooking this medieval town, the Basilica of the Visitation, the St. Claire Gate, the Island Palace, and other monuments. We will have some free time, where one may opt to take a boat ride (extra) on the lake. In the afternoon (time permitting), we will be able to do some personal sightseeing before returning to St. Vincent.
We will start our day with a relaxing full-day optional excursion to discover Gran Paradiso National Park, Aosta. We will then proceed to discover the city of Aosta. Since the 19th century, Aosta has been called “the Rome of the Alps” due to its numerous Roman and medieval sites that make up the history of Aosta.
Today’s full-day optional excursion will take us to visit Superga and Turin. Our first stop is in Superga, where we will visit the Basilica and the splendid views overlooking Turin. We will later proceed to the city centre where we will see; amongst others, Via Roma, Piazza Castello, Palazzo Madama, the Giardino Reale, and the Mole Antonelliana. We will visit the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the Shroud of Jesus Christ.
Today’s full-day optional excursion will take us to Switzerland starting with a visit to Chillon Castle (extra), which was built in 1536 and situated on the edge of Lake Geneva. We will later proceed to Montreaux, the world-famous spa resort. This town is stunning, consisting of palm trees and camellias lining the lake’s promenade. Our next stop is in Gruyères which is known for its cheese. Here, we will visit the lovely, hill town with its magnificent, medieval appearance.
After breakfast, we will have a full-day optional excursion which will take us to the mountain town of Cervinia, where we shall have the option of going up the Matterhorn Mountain skiing resort (weather permitting), lying on the border with Switzerland (cable car extra).
Today’s full-day optional excursion will drive us up the mountains. After a late morning departure, we will head first to Chamonix, a world-famous skiing resort on Mont Blanc. We will take the tram (extra) to go up the mountain. There is the possibility to visit the ice cave; however, to reach the cave there are several steps to reach it. Hopefully, we should still find snow during this time of year.
After check-out, we have some free time before making our way to Milan Linate airport for our return KM Malta Airlines flight departing at 3.35pm and arriving in Malta at 5.35pm.
