Alpine Getaway, Day 1: Pick Up Your New BMW in Munich
Upon arrival, you will be met and escorted to a private chauffeured sedan for a drive to either the European Delivery Center or the Bayerischer Hof, a magnificent family-owned hotel for more than four generations. Recently rated one of the best places to stay in the world by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler, the Bayerischer Hof provides the perfect launching pad for a driving tour of Bavaria and beyond. Indulge in a special dinner at Palais-Keller, a Bavarian brasserie with a wide selection of local specialties.
The next morning, sink into the driver’s seat, and begin the driving tour of a lifetime.
Alpine Getaway, Day 2: Zurich, Switzerland
Depart Munich and explore the charming town of Bregenz, situated on the banks of the Bodensee, also known as the Lake of Constance. Bregenz offers the perfect opportunity to have lunch and take a stroll before getting back on the road. Drive through lake country on your way to Zurich, where you'll check into Hotel Baur au Lac, Zurich's prestigious 150-year-old landmark of unequalled hospitality, exceptional elegance, and impeccable service. On the shore of the lake and surrounded by its own private park, Hotel Baur au Lac is uniquely located at the upper end of the fashionable Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich's famous shopping and business district. And you're a stone's throw away from all the major cultural tourist attractions. Enjoy a wonderful dinner this evening at Le Pavillion.
Alpine Getaway, Days 3 and 4: Interlaken, Switzerland
Departing Zurich, head for Interlaken in the Bernese Oberland and the five-star Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, where you can enjoy two days of mountain and forest hikes, as well as a panoramic train ride to Jungfraujock, known as the 'Top of Europe.' Consider an exclusive spa treatment at the hotel, then in the evening experience its superb establishments: La Terrasse, a four-star restaurant with elegant French cuisine, or Jungfrau-Stube, a casual environment serving Swiss specialties and barbecue.
Alpine Getaway, Day 5: Lausanne, Switzerland
Travel along the southern shore of Thunersee to Spiez, a popular summer resort known for its poets and troubadours, as well as its ancient castle. Continue south to Gstaad, one of Europe's most exclusive winter resorts, and then head north to Gruyeres, home of Gruyere cheese, not to mention spectacular scenery. Then it's south again, to Lausanne on Lac Leman, where you'll spend the last night of your tour enjoying the lake and Alps at the award-winning Beau-Rivage Palace.
