The next stage of their journey is inland; first on a horse drawn cart and then on foot up a mountain led by a mountaineer carrying climbing ropes. They go high up, surveying the surrounding mountain tops. Once they get to a certain point the mountaineer ties them all together with the rope. They make their way over shale and across the snow covered and icy peak. The mountaineer is accompanied by a dog. They stop to eat and slide down the snow on their way back down. At the bottom they arrive at some timber buildings next to a lake.
The next part of the film begins with a map of Venice, with a pencil pointing out the route that they take on their trip, beginning with a ride along the Grand Canal and along some other canals, filming the buildings and other boats along the way. They disembark at the Albergo Gabrielli.

Looking across at the San Giorgio Maggiore they film the boats and ships coming in and going out. The next stage of their holiday is again pointed out on the map travelling back along the Grand Canal, filming the boats and architecture as they go on their journey. After the boat trip they explore Venice on foot, the side streets and squares, canals and bridges. The film ends with sunset over the San Giorgio Maggiore.
