TOURS: Venice, Lake Garda & Dolomites Mountains 

Bolzano is a city in the South Tyrol province of north Italy, set in a valley amid hilly vineyards. It’s a gateway to the Dolomites mountain range in the Italian Alps. In the medieval city center, the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology features the Neolithic mummy called Ötzi the Iceman. Nearby is the imposing 13th-century Mareccio Castle, and the Duomo di Bolzano cathedral with its Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Our festival will organize 3 tours for students and parents to join (not included in tuition cost).

Venice: A short 2h30min train ride will take you to Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy. It is a popular holiday location in northern Italy. Glaciers formed this alpine region at the end of the last Ice Age. It’s location gives Lake Garda a year-round temperate climate where olives and lemons grow well north of their usual range, and a turbulent history that has left several well-fortified castles and Roman remains. Add long sandy beaches and a clutch of towns with lakeside promenades and cafés surrounding postcard marinas, whose sole purpose seems to be la dolce vita, and Lake Garda really does have something for everybody.

Dolomites Mountains (Italian Alps): About two hours north of Venice lives a scene that looks as if it could have been born in the brain of Vincent Van Gogh or nicked straight off the pages of a Grimm’s fairy tale. Rolling green hills dotted with charming village chalets intersect abruptly with dramatic, craggy mountains that pierce the sky. It’s an outdoorsman’s paradise with endless activities for hikers, bikers and skiers alike. But it also offers premium relaxation for a heaven-on-earth holiday that’s chock full of diverse culture.
