Going Beyond Milan to Discover Mountains, Lakes and Summer Adventures for Erasmus+ Students
When people think of Milan, they usually picture fashion, business districts and elegant city life. However, what many Erasmus+ students discover after arriving in the city is that Milan is also one of the best gateways to outdoor adventure in Europe. Within just a few hours, students can easily swap busy streets for sweeping alpine peaks, cycle around crystal-clear lakes or hike along some of Italy's most spectacular landscapes. Thanks to Northern Italy's excellent rail connections, many of these experiences can be enjoyed as easy day trips or longer weekend escapes. If you’re spending your Erasmus+ mobility in Milan this summer, these are some of the destinations worth adding to your bucket list.
