A high-performance summer journey through the Maritime Alps and the Côte d’Azur
The Maritime Alps Supercars Driving Tour is conceived for travellers who seek a more visceral interpretation of luxury: not stillness, but movement; not display, but precision; not excess, but the rare pleasure of mastering exceptional roads in exceptional landscapes.
Set between the dramatic altitude of the Maritime Alps and the coastal elegance of the Côte d’Azur, this summer driving experience brings together supercars, technical roads and some of Europe’s most evocative scenery. The route includes the legendary Col de Turini pass, a road long associated with demanding curves and alpine driving culture, as well as the striking landscapes of Verdon Regional Park, where scale, light and terrain create a cinematic setting for performance driving.
This is a journey for those who understand the road as an experience in itself. The value lies not only in the car, but in the rhythm of the route: mountain passes, Mediterranean transitions, controlled intensity and the discreet exhilaration of travelling through Southern Europe with purpose.
Through Exclusive Elite Travel, this journey belongs within High-End Adventure Journeys as a refined active experience for driving enthusiasts, collectors, private groups and travellers seeking a sharper, more kinetic expression of luxury travel.
The Journey at a Glance
Over four days and three nights, guests cover approximately 470 kilometres across some of Southern Europe’s most compelling driving territory, from the technical roads of Verdon Regional Park to the legendary Col de Turini, long associated with the Monte Carlo Rally.
The journey begins with arrival at Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, followed by a chauffeured transfer to a five-star retreat near Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The first evening sets the tone with a welcome reception, apéritifs and a gourmet dinner with fine wine pairings.
The first driving day unfolds across approximately 280 kilometres of Provençal scenery: mountain roads, high plateaus, terraced routes and the dramatic landscape of the Verdon Gorge. The programme includes lunch near Moustiers-Sainte-Marie at a Michelin-starred restaurant, time to explore the village, and an evening return to the hotel for Prosecco, canapés and dinner.
The second driving day is dedicated to the Col de Turini: a 32-kilometre ascent rising to 1,607 metres, from Sospel to La Bollène-Vésubie, with technical hairpin bends, alpine views, an artisan coffee stop at the summit and a descent towards the Côte d’Azur. The day covers over 160 kilometres and concludes with lunch on a terrace 400 metres above sea level, before arrival in Nice and an overnight stay on the Promenade des Anglais.
The final day is left at leisure before private chauffeured transfer back to Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport.
