alps, 2019
We travelled over 1,700 miles in 7 days, stretching our cars and ourselves to the limit on some of the best driving roads Europe has to offer. Our convoy included a Mercedes C63 AMG, Aston Martin Vantage V12S, Jaguar F-Type, Mercedes SL65 AMG, Porsche 996 C4S, Aston Martin Vantage V8, Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, Porsche 991 GT3, Nissan R35 GT-R, and two Noble M12 GTOs – a group of real driver’s cars tested on the incredible Black Forest roads and unrestricted autobahns of Germany, and on some of the most famous Alpine passes in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy: Klausen, Gotthard, Tremola, San Bernardino, Bernina, Stelvio, and Umbrail. Our drivers and passengers enjoyed sumptuous hotels, great food, great company, and self-drive speedboats to explore beautiful Lake Maggiore in Italy.
“The hotels we stayed in were all superb. We’ve taken boats out on Lake Maggiore in Italy, and swam in (cold!) Swiss lakes. We’ve had some great dinners, and a few (sometimes too many!) beers, but you realise that you don’t need to spend mega-fortunes to really enjoy one of these tours.”
