4 SUPERCAR DRIVE EXPERIENCE INCLUDING A LUXURIOUS REST DAY IN ANDERMATT SUNDAY 09 - WEDNESDAY 12 JUNE Spend three unforgettable days experiencing a fleet of the world s best supercars on the roads for which they were built. The route covers a selection of the most breathtaking and renowned roads in Switzerland, including the big three Furka, Susten and Grimsel. Day One begins with some of the lesser known, but enjoyable passes that traverse the central Swiss countryside and national parks, building up to the tight switchbacks of Klausenpass. The day is a great warm up for the following days of quite challenging driving, with the lazy bends and twists of the country backroads providing you with the opportunity to get used to the incredible power and performance of the beasts in the convoy. Your second drive day is a big one, The morning warms up with a run past Lake Vitznau and down into the central Alps of Switzerland. Here you will experience Susten and Grimsel, followed by one of our favourite passes Nufenen. Susten Pass is marked with fast downhill portions that lead through valleys, banked turns and steep uphills, all of which will leave you grabbing at the gears. Grimsel, meanwhile, features jaw-dropping panoramas around every corner, and is a less technical, more free-flowing pass. Like Susten, Nufenen is a technical and challenging pass that will leave you spent but wanting more.

5 SUNDAY 09 - WEDNESDAY 12 JUNE Following two big days of driving the group can relax with a rest day in Andermatt. Enjoy a leisurely morning making use of the Chedi s incredible and extensive wellness facilities, after which the group will be flown via chartered helicopter around the magnificent Matterhorn Mountain. Here you will land atop a scenic glacier before being choppered to a gourmet lunch at a celebrated restaurant in the famed ski town of Zermatt, with panoramic views of the Alps. The final day of your incredible will take east on Furka, then back up across Grimsel. Furka, was immortalised by the Aston DB5 v Ford Mustang chase in James Bond s Goldfinger. This incredible road alternates between tight hairpins and long sweepers, and section after section of fantastic tarmac. From here you will follow along the bottom of Lakes Thun and Brienz, before winding up with the lush valleys and peaks of the Entlebuch UNESCO biosphere and Gruyere Natural Park.
