Plus the opportunity to visit the Porsche / Mercedes Museums in Stuttgart. On Rico Rally you will stay at some great overnight locations – with a final night dinner & awards get together.
Mont Cenis
A bit of a sleeper this route – not many know about it, which means there’s less traffic on it. Twists and turns with a dramatic backdrop as the scenery changes on almost every corner.
Nufenen Pass
The Nufenen Pass is Switzerland’s highest pass open to motor vehicles. Sweeping bends, hairpins and stunning views all round make this a truly enjoyable road to drive.
Col de L’Iseran
The highest paved pass in the Alps (2,770m) and a fantastic driving road with stunning Alpine scenery.
Black Forest
A road that combines glass smooth sweeping sections elevated above the forest with a dramatic switchback run, known famously as the Route 500.
Porsche Museum, Stuttgart
Enjoy a close-up experience of the history of Porsche. Encounter legendary racing and sports cars, fascinating production models as well as unusual prototypes. More than 80 vehicles will take you from the early years all the way to the present days of Porsche’s history.
Mercedes Museum, Stuttgart
The Mercedes-Benz Museum brings 130 years of automotive history to life. 1500 exhibits – including 160 vehicles – illustrate the development of the automobile from the very first horseless carriage to the modern limousine. The only place in the world capable of documenting the unbroken history of the automobile from its very beginning.
San Bernardino Pass
The San Bernadino Pass is one of the most beautiful and smoothest mountain passes in the Alps and really is the best way to get from Switzerland to Italy.
Lake Geneva Region
Lake Geneva occupies an extremely beautiful corner of Central Europe. The shoreline is shared between France and Switzerland. The lake is essentially a bulge in the Rhône – mirroring Lake Constance, an expansion of the Rhine, at the other end of Switzerland.
Grand Saint Bernard Pass
A road used in ‘The Italian Job’ – Running almost exactly north to south it connects Switzerland, the Canton of Valais in the north, to Italy and the Aosta Valley in the south. It’s also a superb road to drive, with stunning scenery all around.

Many of our hotels have swimming/spa facilities for you to enjoy & relax in during the evening. Or explore the local town to find yourself a great restaurant, bar or even casino.

RICO RALLY IS NOT A RACE, TIME TRIAL OR GUIDED TOUR – IT IS A NAVIGATIONAL ROAD TRIP WHERE YOU WILL BE GIVEN DAILY END POINTS WITH DETAILED SUGGESTED ROUTES. YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO NAVIGATE YOUR WAY USING YOUR OWN SAT NAV, MAP AND A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR NEW RICO RALLY FRIENDS.
Our European car tour visits amazing destinations via some equally amazing roads and scenery… if you fancy seeing some great parts of Europe, visiting the very best locations and driving some of the world’s best roads, all in the company of like-minded petrolheads, then Rico Rally is a European road trip you can’t miss out on.
Our routes are planned to avoid heavy traffic (where possible), leading you over mountain passes with breathtaking scenery, through empty rural villages and across some truly beautiful open countryside.
Daily mileages vary. Some will be challenging but you should still arrive at your hotel with time to socialise. There should be no night driving (unless you get totally lost). There are no time constraints or destination arrival deadlines. Whether you’re a group of mates or a couple, everyone is welcome.
