Ascona, , Airolo. Discover the milestones of the Classics 2017. I am delighted to invite

to our Ticino Classics 2017 summer rally from June 28 to July 2 in ’s southernmost region.

We will enjoy palm-lined lakes and sharp Alpine peaks while driving our classic cars around narrow bends and up steep mountain roads in Switzerland, passing through Northern Italy. One of the highlights will be our ride on the famous Tremola road with its breathtaking turns and serpentine curves. Our “paddock” and the starting point for our daily rally stages will be the Hotel Giardino in Ascona, near Lago Maggiore.

I very much look forward to welcoming you and your co-driver to Ascona.

Yours sincerely

Its Tuscan-style villas are surrounded by a Mediterranean garden, which inspires with the colors and scents of broom, mimosa, lavender, and more. It is an ambience so peaceful that the only sound you may hear is the chink of a glass on the rim of the pool. Or the warm purr of a classic car engine, of course. A for Alpine The Chedi Andermatt

Could there be a better place to enjoy cuisine and hospitality at its peak? Located at the heart of the mythical Urseren valley, the charming chalet village of Andermatt is also at the crossroads of three Alpine passes: Furka to the west, Oberalp to the east, and Gotthard to the south. At a refreshing 1,444 meters above sea level, it is our gateway to Ticino and Italy. Time for lunch? Let’s see what’s on the menu in The Chedi Andermatt, Gault Millau Switzerland’s hotel of the year 2017. A for Amazing Strada della Tremola

Switzerland’s longest historical monument is part of the original *RWWKDUG3DVVURDGZKHUHDURXQGWKHɇUVWVWDJHFRDFKHV FDUULHGSDVVHQJHUVRQDɇYHKRUVHSRZHUMRXUQH\DFURVVWKH$OSV With its world-famous series of hairpin turns and serpentine curves, the cobblestone Tremola road connects the peak of the pass with Airolo. On its most spectacular section, the road takes only four kilometres to climb 300 meters in altitude, each of the twenty-four bends having its own name. T for Ticino Vico Morcote

In Ticino, a brief trip uphill can turn into a trip far back in time. High above the Lago di Lugano, the historical town center of Vico Morcote is well preserved, with narrow streets and SRUWLFRHVKRXVHVGDWLQJIURPHDUOLHUFHQWXULHVDQGDPDJQLɇFHQW baroque church. The medieval castle of Morcote, built around 1450 by the Dukes of Visconti, is located at the heart of a vast estate with woods, meadows, vineyards, and olive trees. The name of Vico Morcote’s district says it all: Paradiso.
