✅ Day 6 – Saturday, July 5, 2025
The highlight of today’s drive is the iconic Great , offering breathtaking alpine views and incredible driving roads. After the pass, we’ll make our way to our accommodation for the night — Hotel Landhaus on Furkastrasse. Looking forward to a scenic and memorable day on the road!
Before we set off, a quick note about our stay at the Sunrise Inn & Spa in Chiaves Pessinetto — what a gem! The hotel was incredibly cozy, with a peaceful mountain setting that made it the perfect place to relax and recharge. A real highlight of the tour so far, and a welcome break after the intense driving days!
Nanolex products have been performing flawlessly throughout the tour — big thanks for keeping our cars looking sharp!
Looks like the owner of our apartment — which was more than just a room! — is a big fan of Piaggio Vespas!
Still in Italy, we’re on the hunt for Q8 stations and that precious 100-octane fuel — not the easiest mission!
And we came across this beautiful Clio Williams — what a find!
As we approach the St. Bernard Pass, we’re already seeing some serious and classic horsepower and coming to life!
The climb was incredible, and now the cars need a moment to cool off. Wow, what an exhilarating ride!
We decided to relocate the cars to a more suitable, non-customs area and grab some food — all that driving really works up an appetite!
Alexander will be leaving the group after lunch today. He faces a challenging drive all the way to Hamburg, especially after his car overheated during the climb and the brakes on his 440i were smoking!
It’s truly amazing to watch the goats gracefully climbing the mountains at their own pace. Someone even mentioned eagles swooping in and carrying off small goats — nature is wild and fascinating!
We park in style
We're now on our way to the hotel after a challenging but stunning drive — the scenery was incredible, though local traffic did make it a bit tricky to keep our pace!
And we arrive our lovely hotel with a gorgeous parking place for the OG.
Some prefer parking outside — but not me!
Tomorrow's big day!
