Arrow Alps Tour 2022 /// HGT'22 - 9 Days of Driving Bliss in The Alps

We all have our passions – for me it is driving towards the most beautiful roads in the world and if possible with friends and their Bimmers. So we've accomplished our first international tour that last 9 days and went amazing with all sort of adventures and experiences! A very special word to mjn77 that so kindly help us with all elaboration of the event. From giving us all sort of tips and advice to leading our drives in very difficult passes in considerable complicated weather conditions. In the end everything went beautifully to all of us and people and cars did amazingly well.

Therefore here's our tour in detail so that anyone can inspire themselves or to others to do or join us on future tours. This should make a great reference for anyone planning travel towards the Alps. Germany not only do we have great Autobahns but also some of the best gateways to the most beautiful roads in the world.

Enjoy,
Joao

Preps on the carbon bonnet for the V10


This M6 is truly a beast and it will blast the mountains with her V10 roar!
