Sample Itinerary:
DAY 1 · ARRIVAL IN ZURICH
Arrive individually in Zurich, Switzerland, where your Lake Como adventure begins. Upon arrival, enjoy a comfortable private transfer to your hotel. Later in the afternoon or early evening, your supercar, pre-programmed GPS, and printed road book are delivered to you. After a short personal tour briefing, the rest of the evening is yours to relax and settle in, with on-call support in place from the very beginning.
DAY 2 · LAKE ZURICH TO LAKE COMO
Depart Lake Zurich and head into the Swiss Alps, driving through the scenic Lake Lucerne region and along winding roads that follow sections of the famous Glacier Express railway. The route climbs steadily toward the Oberalp Pass, delivering classic alpine scenery and wide-open views.
During the summer months (June–October), the drive includes four spectacular mountain passes. In the shoulder seasons (May / November), the route features two high-quality alpine passes, still offering an unforgettable journey.
Descending toward Italy, the landscape softens as you approach Menaggio, a sun-kissed town on the northern shore of Lake Como. The afternoon is yours — relax by the pool, take in the lake views, and enjoy dinner overlooking the water.
DAY 3 · LAKE COMO TO ZURICH
After breakfast, the journey turns north once more, re-entering the Swiss Alps via two iconic passes in the Engadine Valley. Passing near St. Moritz, the road climbs to 2,284 m (7,493 ft) above sea level, revealing expansive mountain scenery and a distinctly different alpine character.
This return drive highlights the contrast between Italy and Switzerland — in architecture, language, cuisine, and atmosphere — all within a single day’s journey. Upon arrival back at Lake Zurich, arrangements are made for the return of your vehicle, and the evening is yours to enjoy.
