ALTA: odysseys

What to Expect

From the Dolomites to the Ligurian coast to opposite hemispheres, ALTA has you living out of a suitcase in 2026.

❋ Everything Included

On average, trips are 5 nights and offer a variety of experiences and unique activities; take advantage of as much or as little as you like; it’s all included.

❋ Curated Group

Part of the beauty of ALTA Odyssey are the friends you make for life. Because this is one of your precious annual holidays, the group is carefully vetted, so you’re in very, very fine company.

❋ Luxury Accommodation

We come from a hospitality background and love hotels. Just trust… it will be gorgeous.

❋ Privacy

It’s not The Real World New Orleans, but it’s also not a solo trip. Arrive warm and friendly, but take your ‘you’ time whenever you need it.

Day 1

Settle in, adjust to the pace, and meet the group.

We’ll be staying atop the Vigiljoch (Mount Vigilius) in a place of spiritual seclusion and picturesque idyll. Think swaying grasses and endless sun baths.


Wednesday arrivals.

Arrive in idyllic alpine/mediterranean Lana and ride the funicular up to Vigilius Mountain Resort, your oasis for the next 5 nights


Group Lunch

Chalet style lunch, but make it classy. We’ll sit down together in the fresh air surrounded by mountain peaks for local flavours and sustenance.


Archery

When’s the last time you practised archery on a mountain top? Under the guidance of hotel director Vera Dejori, we’ll ease into the week with focus and inner calm.


Spa time, yoga, pilates or chill

Some time to do as you please; lose yourself in the spa, take a stroll up the mountain, or book a private pilates session with Eve, our personal pilates instructor for the week. The hotel’s Aquiléia Spa has 1,200 sqm of wellness, offering two floors of relaxation.


Cocktails & Dinner

For our first dinner together, we’ll kick off the odyssey in style at the hotel’s spectacular restaurant overlooking the mountains. Dress for the occasion; we’re ending the night in style.

Day Four


A silent ascent followed by sunrise letters. We'll walk as a group up the mountain to the sound of nature's first tunes. When we return, we'll sit on the picnic tables outside overlooking the mountains, cuddle up with a blanket, coffee, and tea, and write a note to someone we've gotten to know on the trip (to be given to them at departure) 

Post-breakfast free time- grab a mountain bike, head to the spa, book a private pilates session or a massage

Group lunch in a secret location in the mountains


Post lunch, we'll head to Miramonti Boutique Hotel, a stunning modern property above Merano with an infiniti pool, a Japanese onsen, and every spa facility you could dream of. 

Let the evening wind down, take a sunset swim in the infiniti pool, and enjoy a casual dinner on the terrace under the stars before we head back up the funicular.


Day Five


First espresso at Kuntrawant, a roasting company in lana, followed by a group morning walk through the vineyards and apple orchards to Tyrol Castle
