We (two parents and a thirteen year old kid) will have two weeks to visit the Alps next June, and I would appreciate some advice from people who know the area. Below I've listed our desired experiences and destinations, in decreasing order of priority.
- How far down the list is it reasonable to go?
- How many nights would you spend in each location? Which would you skip?
- How much of this trip would you travel by car, and how much by train? We'll be arriving via rail from Berlin and leaving via rail to Munich.
I want to make sure we have a variety of experiences without getting overwhelmed or repeating things, all while getting a taste for the region. Advice is greatly appreciated.
Things we'd like to do, in decreasing order of importance:
- Hiking and staying overnight at a hut in Triglav NP
- Walking around Roman ruins
- Visiting fine art museums
- Attending one classical concert or ballet
- Eating local food
- Seeing medieval armor and weapons
- Going on a day hike in the Dolomites
