Alps & Autobahns specialises in fully planned, self-drive holidays. We’ll book your luxury hotels and deliver your dream car right to your doorstep, with your selected route loaded into the navigation unit. All you have to do is turn up in the city where your chosen itinerary starts, get behind the wheel and make some memories. Let us take care of the rest!
It’s the ultimate end-to-end touring experience: unforgettable drives combined with an authentic taste of what each region has to offer.
An Authentic Experience
This is no cookie-cutter holiday. Our itineraries have been personally designed over countless journeys to make the most of Western Europe’s dramatic scenery and phenomenal roads. We take the greatest pleasure in leading you to those hidden gems: the restaurant off the beaten track that serves mouth-watering local delicacies, the deserted alpine B-road that will leave you grinning from ear to ear, or the hidden boutique spa that gets it just right.
Our Cars
At Alps & Autobahns, we’re passionate about European performance marques. While our specialty is offering the latest models from Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, we’re also committed to providing all our customers with the widest possible choice of vehicles. Our range includes a diverse fleet of European supercars, including high performance convertibles and coupes, and the ultimate in luxury autobahn cruisers.
Itineraries- Luxury in the car and out
Along with creating the ultimate driving holiday, we are passionate about giving you an authentic experience once the car engine is turned off. This means staying at the Europe’s finest spa resorts, indulging in culinary adventures, taking in the region’s culture and experiencing lesser-known attractions throughout Western Europe.
Destination highlights
If you enjoy touring with an automotive flavour, Western Europe has no rival. From purpose-built motoring meccas such as Italy’s Stelvio Pass or the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, to enthralling mountain passes, there’s rarely a place without a strip of tarmac worth exploring. Delight your senses with the pristine peaks of the Alps, the charming wine regions of France, the jagged summits of the Dolomites, the enchanting castles of Bavaria, and the alluring Italian lakes of Como, Garda and Maggiore. The list is endless.
