Trip to Travisio in northern Italy in September 2026

Question

I’m planning a trip in September 2026 with my wife to Travisio in north east Italy in September 2026. We would like to have two stops on the way there and also two on the way back. We would be leaving from Lichfield in Staffordshire and travelling through London and leaving on a Thursday, ideally getting to Brussels for early afternoon on the first day then travelling onwards for a second night somewhere around halfway between Brussels and Travisio. Then travelling onto Travisio on the third day, arriving in late afternoon. Does that sound reasonable and any suggestions on routes and/or stopovers, please? Also, could we do the trip with only one overnight stop, please, and so only have a four day pass in the month? For the return journey, we would like to have the final night in Paris. Any suggestions for routes and stopovers that that, please? Finally, does it make sense to buy the passes in January during the winter sale?

Many thanks,

Colin.

Have a look at Villach in Austria as a point to route through. It’s only 20 minutes from Tarviso, and has good connections via Salzburg, Munich, or Zurich.

You can certainly get there and back in four travel days. If you’re going via Brussels, you could sleep there or Cologne. You could even ditch the hotel and board a sleeper to the Alps after your Eurostar. (It’s even possible to get from Lichfield to Villach in a single travel day, via Paris and Stuttgart, but it wouldn’t be much fun.)

Coming back via Paris, you’ll probably want to route through Zurich or Stuttgart. Strasbourg makes a nice stopover.

There are no certainties about sales, but there’s often one around Black Friday
