Lake Garda & the Alps

Sunday 21st – Friday 26th June 2026

One of our all-time favourites – this trip combines the beauty of Lake Garda with the thrill of the Stelvio Pass. Plus a host of other iconic Alpine roads, including the Furka and Grimsel passes. It’s an unforgettable blend of dramatic scenery, exceptional driving, and relaxed evenings in hand-picked 4-star hotels.

With Rico Rally, you’ll enjoy great overnight stops in stunning locations, dinner on the first and final nights, hearty breakfasts each morning, secure parking, and wide-space Eurotunnel crossings – all taken care of.

Every team also receives a souvenir event brochure, featuring detailed daily routes, recommended lunch stops, fuel locations, evening restaurant options, and information on hotel facilities – such as pools, spas, or nearby places worth exploring.

And unlike many other road trip operators, we make it simple – a round-trip adventure that starts and finishes in the UK, backed by 14 years of experience creating unforgettable driving holidays.
