Join Alps Circumference
Want to cross the Alps like you never thought possible? Do it in a Classic 911!
2 waves | 10 days | ~1,604 km
We mean Alp crossing seriously when we say it.
We don’t just “do the Alps.” … but we invite you to drive
the Alps as nobody ever does:
Crawling on steep alpine gravel roads normally not driven, we conquer narrow tunnels
and navigate moonlike nature in safari-prepared Porsches, right next to big drops
—where the tourist routes end, and the real Adventure begins.
This is Beyond Adventure: ALPS CIRCUMFERENCE
4 countries • 23 mountain passes • 1,873 km • 42,000+ meters of ascent • 10 days (9 driving days)
If you’re even slightly afraid of heights… this might not be for you.
If that sentence made you smile—keep reading.
This is the Alps you didn’t know existed
Most people “see” the Alps from busy tarmac passes and crowded viewpoints.
We take you under Mont Blanc, onto remote gravel paths, into hidden switchbacks, narrow forest tracks, gorges, tunnels, bridges, and the kind of roads where other
drivers stop at a “no entry” sign… and we continue.
Short in duration? Yes.
Short on adventure? Not even close.
The highlights
(the ones you’ll talk about for years)
• Start in Antibes (France) — Mediterranean calm before the storm
• A lap on the F1 track then out through rally roads and into the mountains
• Cime de la Bonette — while others take tarmac, we take the gravel (slow pace, survival mode)
• Col du Granon — Tour de France legend, and our “keep going” moment
• Col du Sommeiller (3,300 m) — one of the highest drivable roads in the Alps
• Furka Pass (James Bond) + the old Gotthard Pass — two trophies in under an hour
• Lake Como ferry crossing + Spluga Pass (51 hairpins)
• Stelvio Pass (48 hairpins) — yes, that one
• Gavia Pass — “almost too narrow for a 911”
• Finish strong in Bergamo — a proper Italian goodbye in the old city
And in the middle: a two-day rest stop in Chamonix, with options to explore Mont Blanc (Mer de Glace railway, Aiguille du Midi cable car… or just recover at the spa).
What this is
(and what it is not)
ALPS CIRCUMFERENCE IS:
• A Europe you didn’t know existed
• Remote at times, far from civilization from time to time
• Gravel roads + big drops beside you
• Diverse, intense, and deeply rewarding
ALPS CIRCUMFERENCE IS NOT:
• Constant 5* accommodation
• Smooth highways
• High average speeds
• Busy tourist destinations
• Suitable if you fear heights
