Description

The Swiss Alps have everything we love about driving.

The Swiss Wonder is a short but action-packed road trip through the heart of the Swiss Alps. Over five days, we spend three full days on the road, winding our way through iconic mountain passes, hairpin bends, glaciers and small Alpine villages.

We’ll start in Vienna, boarding the famous Vienna–Feldkirch night train and waking up at the Austrian–Liechtenstein–Swiss border. From there, our first unforgettable ride takes us through Switzerland’s most iconic ski resorts and across some of the weekend’s most remarkable passes, before rolling into the epitome of Swiss mountain towns: Andermatt.

The crown jewel of the trip will be our main driving day: a loop from Andermatt back to the same spot, crossing the world’s most famous passes, including the legendary Furka Pass, home to the Wes Anderson–movie-like Belvedere Hotel, perched at one of the most photographed hairpin turns in history.

Accommodation

Skip the boring highways and let the ÖBB Nightjet carry us and our vehicles all the way to the Swiss Alps. We board in Vienna, settle into our 2 person sleeper cabins, and enjoy the unique overnight journey.

By morning, we wake up refreshed at the Austrian–Swiss border, ready to hit the legendary Alpine passes.

For two nights, a 4-star hotel will be our home base in Andermatt, 1,444 metres above sea level and right in the heart of the Swiss Alps, surrounded by some of the region’s most legendary mountain passes.

After a full day behind the wheel, we’ll return to the hotel, where wellness facilites await us. Come morning, after our breakfast, we head straight back to the mountain roads.

At the end of the trip, the Nightjet brings us and our cars smoothly back to Vienna, wrapping up the adventure in style.

We kick things off with dinner together in Vienna before loading our cars onto the ÖBB Nightjet around 90 minutes before departure. At around 10 PM, we roll out of Vienna and head for Switzerland.

The roughly 9-hour overnight ride is spent in 2-person sleeper cabins, with drinks and snacks available to order along the way – and plenty of time for a toast with your cabin mates. We start the next morning with breakfast on board, before arriving in Feldkirch at around 8 AM, right at the foot of the Alps and ready to hit the roads.

Maximum 24 mixed nationalities in one group.

We make high-quality content of all our camps, which you will receive after returning home to remember all the amazing memories.

The official currency of Switzerland is the Swiss Franc (CHF). Card payments are accepted almost everywhere, and while many places also accept euros, you’ll generally get a better deal paying in Swiss Francs or by card. It’s also worth keeping a small amount of CHF in cash for smaller purchases.

Breakfast and dinner are included during our stay in Andermatt. During the driving days, we’ll stop for lunch along the route, usually at mountain restaurants and alpine inns tucked between the legendary passes. Before boarding the Nightjet in Vienna and on our way back, we’ll also plan a stop for dinner together.

Our route runs on well-maintained paved roads, including some of Switzerland’s most iconic Alpine passes. Expect plenty of winding mountain roads, hairpin bends, steep climbs and descents – all part of what makes driving in the Swiss Alps so special.

All participants must have valid travel insurance for the countries covered during the rally. Contact us, and we’ll be happy to help you find the best option for you.

Program

5-day itinerary

We load our cars in Vienna onto the train and board the overnight ride to Feldkirch, kicking off the adventure.

We arrive in Feldkirch at sunrise, then hit the legendary Alpine passes, driving through breathtaking landscapes and iconic Swiss ski resorts.

Along the way, we tackle the historic Tremola San Gottardo, Switzerland’s longest road monument and one of Europe’s highest paved roads with its 24 dramatic hairpin bends.

By evening, we roll into Andermatt and check into our Alpine home base for the next two nights, surrounded by some of Switzerland’s most legendary driving roads.

On our main driving day, we tackle the Alps’ most legendary passes, starting with the Furka Pass, where cinematic curves and the Rhone Glacier below make you feel straight out of a James Bond scene.

We continue over the Grimsel Pass, winding through high-altitude landscapes dotted with mountain lakes, before descending into the verdant valleys via the Susten Pass, where turquoise rivers and dramatic cliffs line the road.

Finally, the Oberalp Pass offers a gentler climb with panoramic views of the Ursern valley and the turquoise Oberalp Lake. By the end of the day, we loop back to Andermatt to relax in the spa and enjoy our dinner together.

On the final day, we head back to Feldkirch via a different scenic route, crossing the Klausen Pass with its dramatic Alpine landscapes, historic villages, and winding roads, enjoy a leisurely dinner along the way, and toast the unforgettable moments and relive the trip’s highlights on the overnight train ride home. We arrive back to Vienna the next morning.

FAQ

Cherished, thrilling vehicles you’d love to drive along Europe’s most iconic mountain passes. Our goal is to gather a unique collection of cars, so please coordinate with us about which car you’ll bring.

Our partners offer a limited selection of special vehicles for rent. Contact us for details, and we’ll help you find the perfect vehicle.

Not at all! While it’s more comfortable with a travel companion, there are always participants who complete the route solo. Our standard package includes accommodation in a double room, so you’ll share with another guest. If you prefer to stay alone, there’s no problem – you can opt for our single-room supplement. Private sleeper cabins are not available on the train.

We meet at Vienna’s train station, where the overnight train departs and carries us all the way to Feldkirch, at the Austrian–Liechtenstein–Swiss border. From there, we dive into the Alpine passes of Switzerland, only leaving the mountains on our way back, when we return to Feldkirch and then board the return train to Vienna.

In Europe’s most iconic driving destination, the legendary high Alpine passes, hairpin turns, and winding roads of the Swiss Alps await, set against a breathtaking backdrop.

Although in different styles, one thing is certain: every night will be unforgettable. We spend the first and last nights on the Austrian ÖBB Nightjet in 2 person sleeper cabins. Our vehicles are transported on wagons attached to the train, so we don’t have to drive across Austria to reach the Swiss Alps. The 2-person sleeper cabins are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The train ticket includes a light breakfast, and additional food and drinks can be purchased from the onboard staff.

Between the two train journeys, we spend two nights at a 4-star hotel in Andermatt at 1,444 metres above sea level. Designed as a modern interpretation of a traditional Swiss chalet, it gives us a comfortable Alpine base between our driving days. Single rooms are available in our Andermatt accomodation for an extra fee, but single sleeper cabins on the train cannot be booked.

All the countries we pass through (Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) accept both passports and valid EU national ID cards for border crossings. A driver’s license is not considered a valid travel document.

If you are not an EU citizen, please check with your country’s embassy website to determine if you require a visa for entry.

All participants must have valid travel insurance for the countries covered during the rally. Contact us, and we’ll be happy to help you find the best option for you.
