In this unique location, connect with a legacy of engineering and artistry, feel the road through the vintage steering wheel, and share in a truly unique experience with your cherished ones. Begin your journey in Andermatt, where you can navigate through the legendary mountain passes, driving over the ancient cobblestones of the Gotthard Pass—a road first engineered in the 19th century—and through the historic Tremola Pass, a magnificent "street monument" that features 24 hairpin bends through a landscape of granite. You can channel 007 energy as you drive through the Furka Pass, immortalised by James Bond in Goldfinger, and glide over the famously smooth roads of the San Bernardino Pass, a route cherished by vintage rally drivers for its wide, sweeping turns and dramatic scenery. Between the exhilarating drives, sample the region’s renowned cheeses at a traditional Alpine dairy, and descend into the Sasso San Gottardo museum, located in the extensive underground caverns of the former Gotthard fortress. If you have animal lovers in your group, enjoy a fluffy welcome by the rescue dogs at the Great St. Bernard Monastery—a sanctuary founded by St. Bernard of Menthon in the 11th century. As your journey winds south to Lugano, your party can dine at rustic mountain inns as well as Michelin-starred restaurants, indulging in local specialities such as Capuns and Älplermagronen, as well as fine dining with Alpine game and boutique wines. The grand finale is an intimate farewell in Andermatt, where your party can enjoy a private restaurant all to yourself, celebrating your time together as well as your shared love for classic cars and breathtaking scenery.

WHY VISIT ANDERMATT?
Andermatt, once a quiet military hub, has been reborn as an exclusive year-round destination. Situated at the crossroads of some of Switzerland's most legendary mountain passes, it is the quintessential base for an Alpine adventure. What makes Andermatt unique is its blend of history and innovation. The village still holds the soul of a centuries-old trading post, yet it offers the contemporary comforts of a world-class resort. It is where you can see the first bridge in the Schöllenen Gorge, built in the 13th century, a feat that transformed the village into a vital trading centre.
The air here is crisp, the landscape is dramatic, and the sense of possibility is endless. Beyond the thrilling drives, you can explore the rugged terrain on foot, or in the winter, take to the slopes of its modern ski area. Andermatt’s appeal lies in its authenticity; it is a place that feels both untouched yet rich in culture, where local traditions meet global sophistication. It is this unique duality that makes it the ideal anchor for an experience that is both exhilarating and deeply restorative.
WHY VISIT LUGANO?
Lugano is a city that offers a taste of the Italian la dolce vita within the discreet efficiency of Switzerland, set in pristine Alpine surroundings.. It is the southern counterpart to Andermatt's rugged peaks, offering a seamless transition from the high-altitude thrill of the passes to the serene beauty of the lakeside. Located in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, Lugano offers a microclimate that is noticeably milder and sunnier than the rest of Switzerland.
The city is renowned for its stunning lake, surrounded by lush, verdant hills and dramatic mountain peaks. The cultural fusion is palpable, from the Italian-influenced architecture to the Michelin-starred cuisine that celebrates both local Ticino terroir and classic Mediterranean flavours. It’s a place to slow down, to savour a glass of Ticino Merlot on a private terrace, and to reflect on the day’s adventures. This is the essence of true luxury: the time and space to breathe, to connect, and to simply be.
