Top-notch means "first-rate" and "excellent" according to the dictionary, but what does that mean to you when you join us for an active tour in Italy?
It means that...
- We've done all the planning, and put all the pieces in place, so you'll have a great time!
- You'll keep busy with your preferred sport (and others), and enjoy (test) yourself on some awesome terrain!
- You'll stay in a nice hotel, dine in local restaurants, and experience Italy first hand!
- You'll never be herded around and have to follow your guide's published group schedule!
- You'll be able to rest when you are tired, and go for another run or peak or pass when you aren't!
- You'll know your traveling companions well before you travel, so there aren't surprises!
- You'll be pleased with the value you get for your money, and happy not to have chosen a "luxury" tour!
In short, at Altaquota Adventures we put everything together in one complete active tour package! You can enjoy all the hiking, biking, mountain biking, skiing, and snowboarding that Italy offers–but we keep it flexible and adaptable to your desires, interests, energy, and of course, the weather.
Our guides are guides, not servants, and are eager to show you the best trails and road and slopes around. And when it fits your schedule we'll mix in the cultural highlights of Bormio, Bellagio, Cortina, and Massa/Carrara, both those obligatory "tourist-trap" spots, plus those off the beaten track.
We'll provide you a good value for you money, and while our "leave-your-wallet-at-home" philosophy isn't inexpensive, from the moment we pick you up at the airport, until we drop you off after your active tour, we have you covered with everything you can reasonably need or expect! We don't spend your money on luxuries, rather we focus on you enjoying your Italian vacation–and we know you won't be disappointed! |
