[quote=Anonymous]Organizing a hiking trip in the Alps this August and we usually go via Zurich or Munich, where we had friends. But this year I'm looking at flights and thinking we could fly into Milan and take the train up. It's only a few hours by train to the Berner Oberland. Is it worth spending a few days in Milan? I have faint memories of being in Milan as a teen before we rushed onward to Venice. I am aware of Milan's reputation as a boring city but a few minutes on Google earth shows me the center seems pleasant. We would be mostly interested in viewing old churches and palaces. Maybe a half day trip to Bergamo. Any thoughts appreciated.

If we go via Milan, other ideas for northern Italy are also appreciated. Our plan is one week hiking in the Berner Oberland, based around Murren and Lauterbrunnen and staying in a mix of hotels and mountain huts. Then go somewhere else for another three or so days of hiking, and then a city for a few days before flying out. Am open to ideas where the second part of the trip could be. The Italian Lakes? If so, which one? Guarda or Como?
