Telfs: rest and preparation.
An individual transfer will take you from Innsbruck Airport to the luxurious "Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol" in Telfs. Arrive early to spend more time in the hotel's spacious spa area, which you have at your disposal. With amenities such as a panoramic pool, ladies’ spa, private spa, sauna village, textile sauna area, relaxation room and large garden, there are myriad opportunities for relaxation.
A professional drivers' briefing ensures optimal preparation for the days ahead behind the wheel. In terms of cuisine, your first stop will take you straight to the hotel restaurant for a first-class dinner.
Telfs, Merano: fantastic views.
Your first pass is already legendary: the "Brenner". With 23 bends over 39 kilometres, the "Jaufen Pass" will raise your level of driving pleasure even higher while offering views just as fantastic as the ride through the Passeier Valley. The finish line is on a rock above Merano – in front of "Castel Fragsburg", a 5-star hotel famous for its hand-picked breakfast buffet with regional and seasonal products. The "Royale" version was even named one of the "Mighty Top Ten" breakfast experiences in Italy by "Vanity Fair" magazine.
You can even go a little higher on a helicopter flight over the Dolomites. One unforgettable highlight is the view of the rugged peaks of the 250 million year old mountain range, the unspoilt landscape and the winding mountain passes. In the evening, a delicious meal awaits you in the restaurant "Kallmünz" with ingredients from regional suppliers.
Merano, Trento, Merano: a growing appetite for more and more.
Despite the award-winning breakfast, your hunger for performance remains unsatisfied. Luckily, your second day in the Porsche is just around the corner. Still on the agenda: drive, drive, drive. Curvy mountain passages such as the "Mendel Pass" with a ridge height of 1,363 metres will whet your appetite for more. Incidentally, the "Mendel Pass" forms the border between German-speaking and Italian-speaking Tyrol. The eastern road to the pass is known for its 17 bends – perfect for Porsche enthusiasts, as cornering cleanly, quickly and with concentration is a true art.
You can enjoy Italian cuisine at lunchtime in a restaurant. Finally, the third culinary delight of the day awaits you: after an intense ride back to the hotel in Merano, the chef of the "Castel Fragsburg" demonstrates all his skills in the evening.
Merano, Stelvio Pass, Merano: alpine demands.
The intensity just keeps increasing – up to the "Stelvio Pass" at an altitude of 2,757 metres. With its 48 bends, the second highest paved mountain pass in the Alps is a true delight for all experts behind the steering wheel of a sports car. The northeast ramp is one of the most challenging mountain passes in the Alps. Be enchanted by the traditional Italian cuisine during the break.
With renewed energy, nothing will stand in the way of your continued journey through the impressive mountain landscape of the Vinschgau. After hundreds of gear changes, acceleration phases and adrenaline rushes, you will have enough time to calm your pulse again at "Castel Fragsburg". To round off the day, you will swap your sports seat for a place at a table set with appetising dishes in a first-class restaurant in Merano.
Merano, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Merano: time to climb summits.
5 passes within just a few hours: such high demands force man and machine to become one. Just like you and your Porsche. On your way over the "Karerpass", the "Sella Pass" and the "Gardena Pass", you will have to skilfully exploit the performance of the sports car from Zuffenhausen.
Enjoy your lunch with the perfect blend of high-quality ingredients before heading back to "Castel Fragsburg". If there were an award given for the most beautiful, winding and memorable high alpine roads, the "Falzarego Pass" and the "Pordoi Pass" would be deserving recipients. With a bit of luck, your day will end under thousands of stars – after enjoying an evening meal in a relaxed atmosphere on the hotel terrace.
Merano, Sölden, Telfs: at the filming location of James Bond.
With irrepressible forward momentum, one Porsche after the other will conquer the steep mountain stage to "Timmelsjoch", a 2,474-metre-high mountain pass. After the spectacular descent to Sölden, you can enjoy a short break in the cable car that takes you up to the Gaislachkogl. Once you reach the top, the gourmet restaurant "Ice Q", the filming location of "James Bond 007: Spectre", will welcome you with a fantastic panorama and exquisite gourmet delights.
The journey over mountains and valleys will make your heart race long after you arrive in Telfs. In the evening, the "Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol" will have you salivating for its culinary delicacies. While enjoying your delicious dinner, you can reflect fondly on the tour.
Telfs: servus, see you soon.
Since 1997, the "Peace Bell in the Alps" has rung every day in Telfs at 05:00 pm sharp, reminding people of the mutual understanding between the peoples of the Alpine region and their shared responsibility for their homeland. You have also contributed to this spirit over the past few days.
After a final hearty breakfast and the drive to Innsbruck Airport, you will take home many memories of your eventful journey. The winding roads, Alpine routes and passes of Austria will bid their quiet farewell – and hope to see you again soon.
