2026 The Dolomites & Alps PORSCHE Fest

Join the fun and drive a PORSCHE from Stuttgart, Germany – the home of PORSCHE – to Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, enjoying the Alps and the Dolomites.  You will stay in gorgeous 5-star hotels, drive on scenic Alpine roads, over incredible Alpine passes, enjoy world class cuisine and fine wines, and have time to relax and decelerate your speed of life. 

This Fast Lane Travel tour starts and ends in Stuttgart.  We always recommend that you arrive a day early, if possible, to have time to relax, adjust to the time change, and enjoy the area (ask about our Early Arrivals Program).  We recommend that you fly into Stuttgart (STR).  If you fly into Frankfurt (FRA), the best way to get to Stuttgart is to take the train directly from the Arrivals Terminal 1 in FRA to the Stuttgarter Hauptbahnhof Station – it’s a little over an hour’s train ride.  The Steigenberger Hotel Graf Zeppelin is directly across the street from the train station. 

NOTE:  Airfare is not included.  Your airport transfers in Stuttgart (STR), however, are included. 

The tour requires a minimum of 14 participants to operate.

All reservations must be confirmed by May 29.

If possible, we always recommend that you arrive a day early (i.e., leave home on Thursday, August 27th) to have a little more time to relax, adjust to the time change, and enjoy the area.  Call us to find out about our Early Arrivals Program (includes hotel, dinner and breakfast).
