I remember the first time we put together our Heart of Austria tour. I hadn't run the trip yet, so I asked one my colleagues what it was like. They responded without hesitation, "It's just like our Dolomites Trek!" That's a good thing. Being compared favorably to the Dolomites, specifically...

A rorbu (rorbuer, plural) is a fisherman's cabin, and one of the most recognizable symbols (along with cod fish) of Norway's Lofoten Islands. With its distinctive bright red paint and white trim, the rorbu is to Norway what the mountain chalet is to Switzerland—a shining example of local architecture that...

Norway seems really magical to me. I love the jagged peaks, the intricate waterways and the tiny villages tucked away in sheltered coves. On a sunny day, the water sparkles like a million diamonds. On a cloudy day, the glowing window of a fisherman's hut invites passersby to step in for tea and a long visit....

They'll also roll out other special offers and attractions throughout the year. The Schilthorn (2,970 meters) is an icon in Switzerland's famed Berner Oberland, and it...
