Day-by-Day Itinerary:

A full driving day from Holland to Annecy, which will be our base to tackle various mountain passes. Along the way we’ll stop at the historic Reims F1 circuit and enjoy a good lunch. The route is about 900 km, and towards the end we’ll hit some twisty roads. This is the only long driving day — once we arrive, it’s time to relax at the hotel.
Tuesday, June 9th
After breakfast we head straight into the mountains, driving passes with views of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe. The coming days are all about staying in the Alps, chasing sunsets, and enjoying some of the best driving roads around. As we move further south, the scenery changes — warmer weather, rocky peaks, and more varied landscapes.
Wednesday, June 10th
We check out and drive for about two hours through stunning routes before stopping for coffee and lunch. Tonight we stay at another 4-star hotel right on a mountain pass, which makes for a perfect base to enjoy an early morning drive the next day.
Thursday, June 11th
Today is all about the mountains. You can start the morning with a drive, or take it easier and explore the area, go hiking, or spend the day at the hotel spa. On the route we’ll cross three famous passes, with lunch at a lakeside 4-star hotel that offers incredible views from the terrace. If the weather is good, we’ll finish the day with a pizza night on one of the passes.

FAQ
The Route
Our carefully crafted route is based on extensive research into the most beautiful driving roads in the Alps. We consider which passes to include and whether to ascend or descend each one, ensuring a well-thought-out experience.
You’ll receive the routes in advance as GPX files, compatible with various navigation apps (we recommend TomTom).
You can follow the routes at your own pace and are not required to stay with a larger group if you prefer. Many participants naturally find others to drive with.
The day to day itenerary
You will receive 4 weeks before the trip a detailed day to day itinerary with all the needed information. This includes the name(s) of the hotels, the lunch stops and the routes in GPX format.
The hotel names aren't listed on the website because we've invested significant time and resources in partnering with them. As a result, we prefer not to disclose specific details. Rest assured, the hotels are exactly as described, great 3 and 4 star hotels.
Payment
Your spot is reserved the moment the pre-payment of 30% is received. The remaining 70% is due 2 months before the departure day.
For businesses, taxes (BTW) will be shown on the invoice as "bijzondere regeling reisbureaus" or "Special rules travel agency" since we follow the Dutch national travel agency policy. Meaning that the Taxes (BTW) can not be returned/asked back.
Cancellation Policy
You can cancel your trip free of charge up to 16 weeks before departure. If you cancel between 8 and 16 weeks before departure, a 50% refund will be issued. Cancellations made within 0-9 weeks will incur a 100% charge.
The reason for this policy is due to the hotel terms and conditions, which are less flexible during the high season. However, your travel insurance may cover cancellation costs.
