  • The UNESCO-designated Dolomite Mountains in the northern Italian Alps are one of the most beautiful alpine landscapes I've seen. We try to visit this region each summer, to hike and mountain bike as a family through alpine meadows and alongside the pale-colored limestone peaks. This year, my husband and I were able to experience the legendary mountain passes on road bikes from our base at Hotel La Perla in Corvara. With an enviable location at the foot of the Campolongo Pass (on the famed Sellaronda loop), guests at Hotel La Perla can easily access legendary road bike rides. I just posted a story about why I believe Hotel La Perla is the best place to road cycle in the Dolomites - you can click the link in the profile or visit the Luxe Travel Family blog to read more. We have been visiting the Dolomites since 2010, so please get in touch if you have any questions. -----------------------------------------------#altabadia #laperlacorvara #UNESCO #latergram #unescoworldheritage #10naturalbornwinner #instaitalia #AdventureTravel #inGamba #lovesroadbikes #GlobalCreature #adventurelife #italian_places #pinarelloF10 #Dolomiti # #dolomites #italy_vacations #italian_trips #lifeofadventure #lifewelltravelled #LPPathfinders #luxwt #velo #luxetravelfamily #roadcycling #liveyourdreams #Alps #luxurytravelblogger #mountains #LHWtraveler
  • We have spent the past few days in Alberta reconnecting with friends, celebrating a family birthday, and exploring the Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch near Calgary. Getting up close to these amazing beasts was an incredible experience. Have you seen a buffalo up-close?
  • Switzerland has one of the most pristine environments in the world, capable of producing the finest quality food products. Earlier this year, the award-winning Park Hyatt Zurich parkhuus restaurant implemented a new approach to dining, with a focus on locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients. You can taste the quality in the delicious (and visually appealing menu items). I just posted an article on the Luxe Travel Family blog - Take a Swiss Culinary Journey at the Park Hyatt Zurich parkhuus restaurant, and included photos from our most recent experience. Do you see something you would like to try?
  • Our kids have had cameras since they were toddlers. First, it was Kodak disposable cameras, followed by the bomb-proof NIKON Coolpix waterproof cameras. Now they use regular digital cameras, and I always enjoy their perspective. Like when they were little and often drawn to small things, their photos reveal their interests. On this day, my son was apparently thinking about benches - it must have been a long hike! Do you encourage your children to take photos? #adventuretravel #thisisadventure
  • Our final hike in Austria was amongst the clouds. The mist moved around us, altering the landscape and obscuring our vision. From a distance what we thought was a mountain hut (with food & drinks), turned out to be a farm building. It was a surreal experience. Have you walked in the clouds?
  • This pool and spa bag is one of many quality amenities at Burg Vital Resort in Oberlech. I love to discover a property that pays attention to the details. And at Burg Vital Resort, it is all about the details - luxurious linens, full-size Molten Brown bath and body products, art-filled hallways, and the cutest pool and spa bag I have seen in a while.
  • Our summer vacation in the Alps is coming to an end. After Switzerland and Italy, we have spent the past week and a bit in Austria. Our last stop is the lovely and luxurious Burg Vital Resort in Oberlech (just above Lech am Arlberg). Superb service, beautiful chalet-style suites, divine spa, and locally-sourced and organic menu items are making it very difficult to check-out later today! When and where was the last time you discovered a special hotel or resort?
  • One of our last hikes in Vorarlberg, Austria was a 6+ km loop around the spectacular Lünersee. Referred to as the turquoise pearl of the Alps, the Lünersee is accessible via the Lünerseebahn cable way located 8 km from the mountain village of Brandnertal. Except for one steep ascent and descent, the trail around the Lünersee is relatively flat. And there are many opportunities to venture further into the alpine from here. #VisitVoralrberg #AdventureTravel #ThisIsAdventure #familytravel #LPPathfinders #GlobalCreator #lifewelltravelled #FeelAustria #AustriaTime #GoOutdoors #discoveraustria #travelwithkids #visitaustria #igersaustria #ig_austria #alpen #vorarlbergwandern #naturelover #Austria #österreich #discoveraustria #mountainlife #hiking #vorarlberg #Lünersee #natgeo #naturelovers #luxurytravelblogger #luxetravelfamily #tbscommunity
  • After paddling SUPs in the Kalbersee (2200 m), we continued our panorama hike around the Hochjoch. As we approached Schwarzsee, we noticed someone swimming across this alpine lake. If you are following my #instastories, you may have seen the swimmer. We were tempted to join him. Have you ever swam in an alpine lake? #familytravel #travelwithkids #mymontafon #meinmontafon #visitvorarlberg #feelaustria #myaustria #discoveraustria #visitaustria #ig_austria #igersaustria #austria #luxetravelfamily #LPPathfinders #GlobalCreator #hochjoch #365austria #AdventureTravel #ThisIsAdventure #lifewelltravelled #beautifuldestinations #AustriaTime #lifeofadventure #hiking #alpen #vorarlbergwandern #naturelover #Alps #mountains
