Gents,
As a direct result of the last three year’s big success stories, there will be another "Tour of the Alpes 2005". This time it will take us again through the breathtaking splendour of Austria, the lonlely passes of the Dolomites and the pittoresque landscape of Switzerland. We will conquer once again the most famous and notorious passes of the Alpes. We will stop at the most beautiful points and enjoy its marvellous views. We will spend the nights in charming hotels in the midst of lovely landscapes. And foremost, we will talk about our one passion: the E34 M5.
To get a good impression of such a tour, visit last year’s travel diary with pictures and all (links see at end of post).
Details:
Friday: Meeting point and start of the tour (day 1) is in Munich Germany at noon Friday, September 16th 2005.
We are currently trying to arrange visiting the BMW "Mobile Tradition", after which we will drive to Reutte in Tirol. Once each and everyone has arrived in Reutte and has taken his room we start with the ‚get-to-know-dinner’.
Saturday: On September 17th (day 2) the real thing starts! We will be driving together in 2-3 speed groups and crossing some passes on the way to Bormio. While driving, we have planned to stop several times at the most beautiful places (mostly on the passes) to do some photo shots, smalltalk or just enjoy the scenery.
Highlights for the Saturday route will be Hahtenjoch (1894mtr), the Timmelsjoch (2506mtr), the Penserjoch (2215mtr) and the Passo di Gavia (2645mtr).
Sunday: Quite early in the morning on Sunday (day 3), we will leave our hotel and drive over some additional wonderful passes in the Dolomites, later crossing the border to Switzerland, where some more passes wait for us. We will have our last dinner in Glarus (CH) on Sunday evening.
Highlights for Sunday are the Berninapass (2318mtr), the Spligenpass (2115mtr) and the Klaussenpass (1914mtr)
