Riding out our new bus

4 May

To cap off our most successful semester ever, Bus2alps has rolled out our new wheels, launching the first ever Bus2alps branded bus. In collaboration with our Florence transportation and bus partner, Alterini, we will now be riding to top destinations like the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, and Interlaken, on one of the hottest rides around.

To mark this historic occasion, the Bus2alps team hit the beach in Viareggio for some team bonding. After an incredible night of barbecuing and rehashing all the awesome people we have met this semester, we boarded the Bus2alps Branded Bus for our triumphant return to Florence. Once in Florence, we unloaded at Piazzale Michelangelo, the best viewpoint of Florence, for pictures overlooking Italy’s most iconic Renaissance city, followed by a joy ride through the city.

The new Bus2alps branded bus boasts 55 seats with spacious leg room, 3 plasma screen televisions, personal air and volume controls, personal tray and cup holders, enhanced reclining control, and a sleek design. The bus has been described by those on the maiden voyage as having “similar comforts of an airplane.”

“This is an incredible moment in the history of Bus2alps,” says Bus2alps founder Simon O’Keefe. “It has been quite a journey to watch Bus2alps start as a small operator, to a company that provides discounted group travel for thousands of students every semester. Our first-ever bus marks how far Bus2alps has come.”

Keep an eye out for the stunning new Bus2alps Branded Airplane on Wheels as we ride with hundreds of guests to Europe’s top destinations.

Jumping on the new semester in Interlaken

25 Jan

Jumping out of an airplane, cruising down the mountain on sleds at night, carving fresh tracks on some of the best terrain this planet has to offer, sailing through the sky with a paraglider, leaping off a suspended platform and flying through a canyon, exploring the views and local fare of Switzerland, and capping it all off each night at the local hot spot in town (located directly below our accommodation).  Yeah, I’d say we had a lot of fun this weekend.

Over one hundred study abroad students from across continental Europe traveled with us to Interlaken, Switzerland, this past weekend to engage in the world’s greatest winter wonderland.  It’s hard not to fall in love with the town of Interlaken, and even harder when you get conditions and weather like we had this weekend. There was fresh powder begging to be thrown through the air by a board or skis, and the skies had cleared up to offer us majestic mountain vistas, whether seen from the chairlift, the windows of our hostel, or even the bus ride home.
