More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a Milan hotel before dawn and the city’s flat geometry slips behind you as the private car threads its way north. Coastal plains give way to folded hills, then the road tightens; glassy Swiss peaks appear like punctuation, and the train at Tirano waits with panoramic windows promising a higher cadence of light.
