FOLLOWING THE MILLE MIGLIA TOUR 2025#4/06/2025

On this first day, participants will meet at the Loisium Wine & Spa Hotel (4*), close to Epernay and the perfect place to start the tour. Loisium is set on a hill overlooking the sea of vineyards of the Champagne Region. During the welcome dinner a tour briefing will take place and participants will receive the welcome packs and road books.

Today’s drive will be through beautiful and changing scenery. From the vineyards of the Champagne to the endless cereal fields of the Grand East and the mountains and forests of the Vosges in Alsace. Stay will be at the Grand Hotel (4*) in Gerardmer. Dinner will be served at the hotel’s restaurant.

Departing from Gerardmer, the route will stop at Bienne to visit the Omega Factory & Museum, situated at the Cité du Temps, operated under the leadership of The Swatch Group Ltd, the largest watchmaking company in the world which unites, among other companies, 17 watch brands: Breguet, Harry Winston, Blancpain, Glashütte Original, Jaquet Droz, Léon Hatot, Omega, Longines, Rado, Union Glashütte, Tissot, Balmain, Certina, Mido, Hamilton, Swatch, and Flik Flak. A guided visit to the Omega Museum will take place before continuing to Brienz, where the stay and dinner will be at the Grand Hotel Giessbach (4*).

Driving in Switzerland in spring is always tricky. We always want to include the most impressive mountain passes in the road book, but sometimes this is not possible because of the snow. Even in June some of the passes could be closed. Not much we can do about this, other than crossing our fingers and checking the road information every day to see if you can follow our road book which will include amazing mountain scenery or if we need to give you an alternative route. Stay will be at the Hotel Precise Tale Seehof (5*) in Davos and dinner will take place at the hotel.

From Davos, the twisty Fluela Pass takes you east to Zernez and then the Umbrail pass, in the Stelvio National Park, will get you into Italy. The route also borders the Iseo Lake before arriving to Gardone Riviera, at the shores of Lake Garda, where the stay for the next 3 nights will be at the Hotel Savoy Palace (4*) Dinner will be at the hotel.

A bus will take travellers to Brescia, the beautiful city which once a year welcomes the start (and the finish) of the Mille Miglia. What makes Mille Miglia a unique event is its history: over 90 years of passions, emotions and traditions along the non-stop itinerary from Brescia to Rome and back. Mille Miglia is a race reserved for cars built between 1927 and 1957, and only car models that participated in the original race until 1957 are accepted in the event. Every year, it attracts classic car enthusiasts from all over the world, especially during the car control procedures which are performed in the historic streets and squares of Brescia. Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Fiat, Audi, BMW, Bugatti, Maserati, Aston Martin and of course Jaguar… the most fascinating cars all meet in Brescia. Travellers will have the day free to wander around the city and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Mille Miglia. Dinner will be served back in the hotel.

Finishing in Rimini, this almost 200-mile stage follows the river Po and then reaches the Adriatic Sea. Today there aren’t any mountains along the way. The route will avoid highways and there are many interesting places where you can stop if you want a break from driving, like the 5th Century mausoleum of Gala Placidia, the sister of Emperor Theodosius I, situated in Ravenna, decorated with mosaics and with a deep blue vault and dome decorated with starry and floral motifs. Hotel in Rimini will be the Grand Hotel Rimini (5*) and dinner will be at the hotel.

Marche, Umbria and Lazio are the regions the route will drive through on this stage. 204 miles of scenic roads finishing just 30 miles from Rome. Our destination today is the Hotel Terme di Stigliano (4*), built on the remains of ancient Roman temples and baths. A perfect place to relax after a great day on the road. Dinner will be served at the hotel.

The roads in this stage of the Mille Miglia are difficult to put into words. Arguably the most beautiful scenery in Italy, with rolling hills, lakes, medieval villages… and those cypress trees that for some reason wouldn’t look the same if they were in any other place in the world. Tuscany is always a joy, regardless of your reason for visiting. Landscapes, roads, architecture, gastronomy, wines and more. Pienza, Montepulciano, Monticchiello, the Orcia Valley and much more will be on today’s route. The selected hotel for this stage is the Castello di Spaltenna, in the chianti, where dinner and chianti wines will be served tonight.

The roads of the chianti and the amazing Futta Pass, between Florence and Bologna, were on the itinerary of the final edition of the Real Mille Miglia, in 1957. By driving them we want to remember the drivers of that time, when the most beautiful race in the world was a real race. We will finish this stage returning to Lake Garda, where the stay will be at the Savoy Palace Hotel. Today a farewell dinner will take place at the hotel.

End of Tour.
