Telfs: rest and preparation.
An individual transfer will take you from Innsbruck Airport to the exclusive “Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol” in Telfs. Early arrival is particularly recommended, as this gives you more time to enjoy the hotel’s extensive spa area. With highlights such as the panorama pool, a ladies’ spa, a private spa area, a sauna village, a textile sauna area, a relaxation room and a spacious garden, the area offers numerous opportunities for relaxation.
A professional drivers' briefing prepares you perfectly for the days ahead behind the wheel. Your culinary journey starts with an exquisite dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Telfs, Merano: fantastic views.
Your first pass is already a legend: the “Brenner”. With 23 bends over 39 kilometres, the “Jaufen Pass” ramps up your driving pleasure even further, offering stunning views, just like the drive through the Passeier Valley. The finish line is perched on a rock above Merano – right in front of the “Castel Fragsburg”, a 5-star hotel renowned for its hand-picked breakfast buffet featuring local and seasonal produce. The “Royale” version was even recognised by “Vanity Fair” as one of the “Mighty Top Ten” breakfast experiences in Italy.
Things go even higher with a helicopter flight over South Tyrol. An unforgettable highlight is the breathtaking view of the rugged peaks of the 250-million-year-old mountain range, the untouched landscapes and the winding pass roads. In the evening, a delicious meal awaits you at the “Kallmünz” restaurant, where the ingredients come from local suppliers.
Merano, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Merano: time to climb summits.
5 passes in just a few hours – such challenges require both man and machine to become one. Just like you and your Porsche. As you drive over the “Karerpass”, the “Sella Pass” and the “Gardena Pass”, it is all about skilfully tapping into the full performance of the Zuffenhausen sports cars.
After a lunch offering a perfect blend of the finest ingredients, you will head back towards the “Castel Fragsburg”. If stars were awarded for the most beautiful, winding and memorable high-altitude alpine roads, the “Falzarego Pass” and “Pordoi Pass” would undoubtedly deserve one. With a bit of luck, your day might even end under a sky full of stars – after a relaxed dinner on the hotel’s terrace.
Merano, Stelvio Pass, Merano: alpine demands.
The intensity keeps rising – until you reach the “Stelvio Pass” at 2,757 metres. With its 48 bends, the second-highest paved mountain pass in the Alps is a true delight for those who know how to handle the sports steering wheel. The northeastern ramp is particularly known as one of the most challenging pass roads in the Alps. A short break gives you the chance to indulge in traditional South Tyrolean cuisine.
Refuelled with new energy, nothing stands in the way of continuing your journey through the stunning mountain scenery of the Vinschgau valley. After countless gear changes, acceleration phases, and adrenaline boosts, you will have plenty of time to unwind at the “Castel Fragsburg”. To cap off the day, you will swap your sports seat for a place at the beautifully set table in a top-class restaurant in Merano.
Merano, Trento, Merano: a growing appetite for more and more.
Despite the award-winning breakfast, your hunger for driving thrill remains unsatisfied. Luckily, your fourth day in the Porsche is just around the corner, with one thing on the agenda: drive, drive, drive. Winding mountain passes like the “Mendel Pass”, standing at 1,363 metres, leave you craving more. By the way, the Mendelpass marks the boundary between German-speaking and Italian-speaking Tyrol. The eastern route to the pass is renowned for its 17 bends – perfect for Porsche enthusiasts, as mastering precise, fast cornering here is truly an art form.
Italian cuisine can be enjoyed at lunch in a local restaurant. The third culinary delight of the day awaits in the evening: after an intense drive back to Merano, the head chef at “Castel Fragsburg” will demonstrate his full culinary expertise.
Merano, Sölden, Telfs: at the filming location of James Bond.
With relentless drive, one Porsche after another conquers the steep ascent to the 2,474-metre-high “Timmelsjoch Pass”. After the spectacular descent to Sölden, you will enjoy a brief respite on the mountain cable car, which takes you up to the Gaislachkogl. Once at the top, the gourmet restaurant “Ice Q”, featured in the James Bond film “Spectre”, welcomes you with breathtaking views and exquisite culinary delights.
The journey over mountains and valleys will keep your heart racing long after you have arrived in Telfs. In the evening, the “Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol” will give you the chance to reflect on the day’s thrilling adventures over a delightful dinner.
Telfs: servus, see you soon.
After a final, hearty breakfast and the drive to Innsbruck Airport, you will carry home a treasure trove of unforgettable memories. The winding alpine roads, passes and serpentines of Austria bid you a quiet farewell – hoping for a swift return.
