Fjallgöngur og sigling á kajak á Como Lake í hjarta Alpanna 5 dagar.

Við erum í hjarta Alpanna, umkringd háum fjöllum, fögrum skógum, fossum og vötnum.  Hér eru aldagömul fjallaþorp byggð á klettabrúninni  með einstakri þekkingu handverkamanna þeirra tíma.  Í boði er matur úr héraði (beint frá bónda) sem hefur sitt einstaka bragð.  Hér má finna sérstaka parmaskinku og einstaka undursamlega osta sem þú getur ekki fenið annar staðar.  Við uppgvötum þessa paradís með því að sigla á kanóum, ganga í náttúrinni milli hárra fagura fjalla og að lokum gistum við í fjallakofa þar sem við njótum friðsældar í fjallasal.
