The 'spur' of Italy's boot with dramatic white limestone cliffs and the lush Foresta Umbra.
Gran Sasso Massif
The highest peaks of the Apennines, often snow-capped well into late spring.
Milan & Lombardy
The urban sprawl of Italy's financial capital set against the backdrop of the Po Valley.
Pennine Alps
Breathtaking views of 4,000-meter peaks, including the iconic pyramid shape of the Matterhorn.
Black Forest

The Upper Rhine
The silver ribbon of the Rhine river snaking toward the industrial heart of the Rhineland.
For the best lighting on the Alps, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Approximately 65 minutes into the flight, look closely for the Matterhorn's distinct shape. On descent, keep your eyes peeled for the brown-coal open-cast mines near Garzweiler, which are massive human-made craters visible from the air.
