"Jagged peaks, with espresso at the summit"
World Famous
Banff National Park
Canada
Canada's crown jewel: turquoise lakes, jagged peaks, and vast wilderness in the heart of the Rockies. Moraine Lake alone is worth the trip.
European Alternative
Dolomites
Italy
UNESCO-listed jagged limestone peaks, emerald valleys, and mountain refugios with home-cooked Italian food. The via ferratas are legendary, and the Tre Cime hike is unforgettable.
Why These Two?
Both feature dramatic, jagged mountain scenery with turquoise lakes, world-class hiking, and that overwhelming sense of alpine grandeur.
