Road Tour Swiss Alps (4 days) Click here to Book Now! St Moritz. Stelvio Pass. San Bernardino Pass. Lake Garda. Modena. The awesome Alpine Adventure! Fri 14 - Tue 18 September, 2012 |
General Notes
The Alpine Adventure is a 1,500 mile driving event that takes in the best Alpine passes in Switzerland and Italy, as well as tours of Ferrari & Lamborghini. It is open to all makes, types and age of car.
IT IS NOT A RACE, RALLY OR TIME TRIAL. There are no time constraints or destination arrival deadlines. It is intended primarily to be a fun, social driving experience where like minded petrolheads can get away from it all by driving, dining and telling each other far fetched stories about their cars, their daily exploits and past adventures and encounters. And a casual dress code!
Note couples are welcome and typically make up 60% of all attendees on this event.
The Price
£1,900 per car (£950 per person) based on 2 drivers sharing accommodation (£1,800 for CD Tour returnees). A £500 deposit can be paid online or by calling the booking office on 01302 743827.
The balance is due by Friday 3rd August. We will be taking bookings after this date should there still be availability.
