We’ll arrange your channel tunnel crossing at a time that suits you and your journey in the UK. For a relaxed start to your holiday, we recommend taking the crossing the day or evening before and spending the night with us at our hotel, located just a short 10-minute drive from the terminal in Calais. This is our most popular option.
After our morning tour briefing and issuing the sat-navs and radios, our first day is designed for effortless progress. Taking advantage of the Sunday commercial truck bans, we will utilize the sweeping French toll networks to swiftly travel east. By late afternoon, we arrive at our first luxury hotel located in the peaceful Saarland region.
We depart our German retreat and point the convoy south towards the heart of Bavaria. Today’s route features sections of unrestricted Autobahn, allowing you to stretch the legs of your car safely and efficiently while bypassing major cities. Our destination is a spectacular automotive-themed premium hotel near Munich, surrounded by incredible car culture and offering absolutely brilliant dining options tonight.
We leave Germany and immediately begin our ascent into the spectacular Austrian Alps. Heading south for the border we’ll stop for lunch in Gmund, home of the private Porsche museum. By the afternoon, we will cross into Slovenia and arrive at our luxury hotel near Ljubljana, where you check in for two nights.
Today is entirely yours to relax and enjoy exactly as you wish. You can spend a leisurely day exploring the pedestrianised riverside cafes, historic castles, and vibrant culture of the Slovenian capital. Alternatively, for those eager to keep driving, we offer an optional morning route that loops through breathtaking local national parks, returning in time for a wonderful evening out.
Leaving the mountains behind, we carve our way south through the sweeping inland roads of Croatia until the dramatic blue expanse of the Adriatic Sea finally appears. Our destination is a stunning seaside resort near Split. This incredible property will serve as our luxurious basecamp for the next four nights, offering a perfect blend of driving and pure relaxation.
These three full days offer the ultimate Adriatic escape. You will have ample time to explore Split, join our optional guided morning loops through dramatic local river gorges, charter a boat to explore nearby islands, or simply unwind at the beach or resort pool. This extended break perfectly recharges the batteries while offering optional thrilling driving segments for those wanting more steering time.
Our route today takes us north, tracing the edges of sheer coastal cliffs on one of Europe’s greatest and most dramatic driving roads. We weave up the beautiful coastline towards the Belle Époque towns of the northern riviera. By late afternoon, we check into our premium seaside hotel for a two-night stay, trading the southern heat for elegant coastal luxury.
Your second day on the northern coast offers the perfect opportunity to unwind by the sea and soak in the rich atmosphere. You can spend the day exploring historic promenades, relaxing in the hotel’s premium spa facilities, or taking a short trip inland to sample the region’s world-famous truffles. It is a wonderfully slow-paced day before heading into the high mountains.
Trading the ocean for high altitude, we head up into Italy and cross the border back into Austria via fast, flowing alpine valleys. We bypass the most congested areas and enjoy wide, sweeping ribbons of tarmac. By afternoon, we arrive at a breathtaking, modern spa hotel near Innsbruck for a two-night stay, surrounded by towering peaks and crisp mountain air.
Our final rest day gives you the option to completely unwind in the sprawling thermal spa facilities of our luxury resort. However, if you crave more elevation, jump in the car for a spectacular luggage-free blast across a famously wide, twisting mountain pass right on our doorstep. Tonight, we gather to share stories before our journey back toward the west.
Departing our alpine sanctuary, we carve westward through the spectacular Arlberg region and skirt the edges of Lake Constance. After traversing the Black Forest on some fantastic roads we cross the Rhine River directly into the Alsace region of France. We arrive in a picturesque medieval town by afternoon, checking in for a final celebratory group dinner.
On our final morning, we embark on a straightforward, cruise north up the French autoroutes, weaving past Strasbourg and Reims, getting us effortlessly back to the Calais Eurotunnel terminal with plenty of time for our afternoon crossing back to the UK. We say our goodbyes before boarding the train home.
