Stelvio & the Dolomites

Begin your adventure in Stuttgart, where engineering prowess meets timeless elegance. This city is home to both Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with museums that celebrate their legendary histories. Explore leafy parks, dine in local wine taverns, and get acquainted with Germany’s automotive soul. Consider adding a night here to take it all in before the wheels start turning.

Overnight Stay: Porsche Program Accommodation

Your journey officially begins as you take delivery of your brand-new Porsche at the factory. After a full walkthrough and maybe a stop at Motorworld Stuttgart, it’s time to hit the autobahn. Open roads and derestricted sections let you truly bond with your car. Push east through rolling hills and skirt around Munich before arriving at Lake Tegernsee—an alpine gem that offers calm water, mountain air, and luxury hospitality to welcome you to the journey ahead.

Overnight Stay: 5-Star Das Tegernsee

This drive sets the tone for the days ahead. Begin along the scenic German Alpine Road before crossing into Austria and heading toward Zell am See, where lakeside cafés provide the perfect mid-morning break. Then it’s on to the legendary Grossglockner High Alpine Road—Austria’s most famous pass. With perfect curves and heart-pounding elevation, this stretch is all about the drive. Descend through Tyrolean valleys into Italy and end the day in the stylish town of Cortina, nestled in the dramatic Dolomites.

Overnight Stay: 5-Star Faloria Mountain Spa Resort

Today delivers the most intense driving of the tour. Cross eight Dolomite passes including Giau, Fedaia, Sella, and Gardena—each one offering a new take on alpine perfection. Tackle narrow hairpins, sweep past glacial lakes, and make frequent stops for photos, espresso, or just to catch your breath. The scenery evolves from wild peaks to vineyard valleys as you descend toward Bolzano, where a lakeside hotel and a glass of Alto Adige wine await your arrival.

Overnight Stay: 5-Star Wellnesshotel Seeleiten

Take the day off to explore Bolzano and the surrounding wine region—or jump back in for one more loop drive through the mountains. The Jaufenpass offers hairpin climbs and cliffside cafés, while the lesser-known Penser Joch delivers high-speed curves and big alpine views. This loop is a compact thrill ride, perfect for a half-day outing before returning to relax by the lake, visit a local winery, or enjoy a slow evening spa session and gourmet dinner.

Start the day gently, cruising south through the wine-lined Alto Adige Valley before taking the cable car up to the jaw-dropping SkyWalk above Mezzocorona. Then shift gears—literally and figuratively—for one of Italy’s most scenic drives across Monte Baldo. The route winds high above Lake Garda, offering panoramic views from alpine ridges. Add in a visit to Madonna della Corona, a church clinging to a cliff, and end the day with a lakeside dinner and deep sense of arrival at Garda’s tranquil shores.

Overnight Stay: 5-Star Lefay Resort & Spa Lago di Garda

After days of white-knuckle passes and sweeping scenic routes, today invites you to unwind. Enjoy the spa, take a private boat tour across Lake Garda, or explore charming lakeside villages like Limone or Sirmione. Optional activities include wine tastings, cooking classes, hiking trails, or simply soaking up the sun by the infinity pool. However you choose to spend it, this is your time to relax, reflect, and recharge before the next alpine push.

Begin with a backroad beauty—Valvestino Pass—lined with switchbacks and turquoise lakes. Pass through Adamello Brenta National Park, home to waterfalls, alpine meadows, and sleepy mountain villages. Continue through the apple orchards of the Non Valley, and then tackle the thrilling and rarely-traveled Gavia Pass. Its remote, rugged character is unmatched. End your day at a high-alpine lodge accessible only by cable car, where the views, altitude, and silence are pure magic.

Overnight Stay: Sunny Valley Kelo Mountain Lodge

Today is the heart of the tour—the Stelvio Pass. Start your ascent from the southern side, a blend of fast corners and tight hairpins, then pause at the summit for coffee and panoramic photos. The descent brings the iconic 48 hairpins of the northern face, an unforgettable driving feat. From there, cross into Austria for whiskey tasting at PUNI Distillery and a photo stop at the sunken bell tower in Reschensee. Then ascend the Kaunertal Glacier Road—40km of heaven—before ending in Seefeld’s alpine elegance.

Overnight Stay: 5-Star Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol

Your penultimate drive weaves together alpine drama and cultural charm. Start with the curves of the Kühtai Saddle, then take on the wild, narrow hairpins of Hahntennjoch. Cruise through the peaceful Namlos Valley before heading north to the postcard-perfect Neuschwanstein Castle. After lunch and a stroll, follow the German Alpine Road toward Lake Constance. A short ferry ride brings you to Konstanz, where you’ll check into a stunning lakeside hotel just in time to toast your second-to-last night.

Overnight Stay: 5-Star Hotel Riva Konstanz

It’s your final ride—choose a swift autobahn sprint or a scenic farewell through the legendary Black Forest on the B500. Visit cuckoo clock towns, stop for one last waterfall, and enjoy the deep pine-scented roads before returning to Stuttgart. Drop off your Porsche with memories carved into every curve, every summit, every pass. Whether you’re flying home or staying on, this is the kind of trip that stays with you long after the keys are returned.

Overnight Stay: Radisson Blu Porsche Design Tower

Your European driving odyssey comes full circle in Stuttgart. After an unforgettable week of mountain passes, cliffside churches, and sweeping valleys, it’s time to return your Porsche to the place it all began. The drop-off process is smooth and hassle-free, giving you a moment to reflect on the miles, memories, and milestones. If time allows, enjoy a final stroll through the Porsche Museum, grab a farewell espresso, or squeeze in one last German meal before heading to the airport or your next destination. This might be the end of the tour—but not the end of the story. From now on, every drive will take you back.
