The Alps (one week, hotel)

The Alps 4x4 Tour is quite a trip, with four days of off-road tracks which ascend the peaks, take you through tunnels, track high mountain paths and pass Napoleonic Forts as we travel the Fort Central Route and negotiate the Salt Road along the Italian border.

You’ll get the chance to drive some of the most amazing roads in Europe. Including the Col Du Galibier, famous for its part in the Tour Du France; the Col De La Bonette, the highest tarmac road in Europe and, of course, the Col De Turini, the Monte Carlo Rallye stage and voted by Top Gear as one

of the top ten roads in the world! What more could you ask for?

As always in Europe, there will be no more than five participat­ing cars.

Alongside the natural beauty there are many historic towns, bridges and churches, particular­ly when we follow the ancient routes. Don’t forget your camera – we’re always sure to stop and take time to admire our stunning surroundin­gs.

August 25 - September 2: All hotels and ferry crossing included, costs £2500.

Pyrenees (one or two weeks, hotel)

All include the ferry from the UK to Santander. Start and end in Portsmouth.

WEEK ONE: Aragon and Navarra

This is a tour of contrasts. Starting in the forested area around the ancient pilgrim town of St Jean Pied de Port, the route goes through the desert, where we stay in a truly extraordin­ary location, before continuing through a landscape littered with ancient castles, tracks and bridges over precipitou­s gorges to reach our final destinatio­n. Here we celebrate our arrival by dining in one of the many restaurant­s around the medieval square in Ainsa.

If you want a trip that has great variation, then this is the one for you, as the terrain ranges from dry desert plains and soaring peaks, smoothed by countless centuries of wind, to tracks through dense forest and the rural foothills of an area steeped in history.

Alongside the natural beauty there are many historic towns, bridges and churches, particular­ly when we follow the ancient pilgrim routes. While this is a holiday all about driving, we will always take time to park up and admire a good view, and this trip offers them in abundance.

WEEK TWO: Les to Andorra

Our High Pyrenees 4x4 Tour is where you get to climb mountains with your 4x4 and enter Andorra via the Smuggler’s Route, renowned as one of the best 4x4 tracks in Europe.

Our route takes us high into the mountains, sometimes tracking the piste runs for the ski resorts and ascending to heights where you can look down on the top lift.

There is always the chance that, at high altitude, snow may block our way – however there are always alternativ­e routes that add to the adventure!

Alongside the mountains and the high passes – the Col de Meners, Pic d’orrie, Col de l’exoil and the Col de Varrados to name just a few – the tracks pass through a vast variety of ever-changing landscapes from picturesqu­e meadows to forests and rough tracks. WEEK ONE ONLY: October 6 – 14, Aragon and Navarra, costs £2350. WEEK TWO ONLY: October 13 – 21, Les to Andorra, costs £2350. FULL FORTNIGHT: October 6 – 21, costs £3350.
