Dolomites & Austrian Alps Driving Tour

Day 1 - Arrive in Munich

Arrive at the International Airport of Munich and transfer to your hotel adjacent to Motorworld Munich. After checking in, explore Munich Motorworld, visit the incredible BMW Museum nearby, or head downtown to Munich's old town. The metro station is directly outside the hotel and is only a 15-minute tram ride to the heart of the old town.

Day 2 - German Alpine Road & Grossglockner

The following morning your car will be delivered directly to the hotel. The first stage of the tour will take you south from the city, and onto a beautiful stretch of de-restricted Autobahn, which then takes you through Bavaria where you will skirt along the super scenic German Alpine Road before dipping into Austria. Next, you will head along to the exclusive Schloss Prielau, a small castle/hotel owned by the Porsche family. After lunch, the tour continues on the Grossglockner, the highest and longest mountain pass in Austria. This is quite simply two hours of driving Nirvana. Finally, continue down the pass into the Austrian Tyrol and the picture-postcard town of Lienz.

Day 3 - The Great Dolomite Road

On Day 3 you will drive some of the most spectacular roads and see some of the most dramatic and famous views of the jagged Dolomite peaks. From Lienz, head across the border to Tre Cime de Lavaredo via Passo Tre Croci. These triplet peaks are some of the most photographed in the world. After a coffee stop and some shopping in the "wealthy playground" ski town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, there are several more mountain passes back to back as you wind around the massive Mount Piz Boe. Lunch is its own event with a cable car ride up to Seceda Ridge with an unbeatable view. Finally, cross back into Austria and up the Wipptal Valley to the ski areas surrounding the river town of Innsbruck and your hotel in nearby Seefeld.

Overnight Hotel: 5-Star Hotel Klosterbrau, Seefeld, Austria

For the final drive, you'll begin by heading further into the Austrian Tyrol Region. Many of the small towns you will pass are renowned for their top-tier skiing. Shortly, you will arrive at and cross the high-speed Hahntennjoch Pass. Then, cross back into Germany near Fussen, home of the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle. Later, complete the tour with a new personal top speed on the autobahn back to Munich.

Day 5 – Final Day in the City of Munich

Take the metro downtown and spend some time on your final day in Munich before departing the city.  Munich is a vibrant city, with parks, museums and a great shopping quarter.  Be sure to visit the famous Marienplatz at the center of the old town, and visit/dine at one of the nearby beerhalls
