We will be traveling in July on a hiking and kayaking trip throughout the lakes of Italy: Lake Como, Bellagio, Stresa. After the trip we will have 4 days to go explore then we fly out of Milan. Any ideas? Switzerland? Stay in Italy?

Dolomites, specifically Ortisei, for hiking in spectacular mountains.

I agree with Sam, but be aware It is a 5-to-7 hour train trip to Bolzano then an hour by bus to Ortisei. Well worth it for 3 nights but 4 nights is better and 2 nights is just not enough.
Depends on how early you fly out of Milan but you probably need to spend the night before flying in Milan, limiting your stay in the mountains by a night. I would not take that long trip (2 trains and a bus) to Ortisei for less than 3 nights. July is high season so you will need to get on top of lodgings ASAP if you want to go.
