With their jagged, sharp-toothed peaks, crystalline waters and enchanting medieval towns, Northern Italy and Switzerland have beckoned me for years. Legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner once said, “The Dolomites are a perfect blend of art and adventure, where nature has sculpted its own masterpieces,” and I’ve always wished to see these masterpieces for myself. As the rain started closing in at home in Vancouver, Canada, my friend Darcy and I embarked on a whirlwind tour, traveling in a loop from Lake Garda to Lake Como, with a quick Switzerland detour, before finally making our way to the Dolomites.
