Alpine Sprint — Hatch100

Day by Day

The Itinerary

1

Dover → Reims

Champagne country & welcome dinner

~320 miles

Morning ferry crossing, convoy south through the French countryside to the champagne capital. Group welcome dinner and route briefing — get to know your fellow drivers over a glass of the good stuff.

2

Reims → Black Forest

The legendary B500

~280 miles

East through Alsace, cross into Germany and pick up the B500 through the Black Forest. Arguably one of Europe's greatest driving roads — smooth tarmac, sweeping bends, almost zero traffic. Hotel overnight in the forest.

3

Black Forest → Swiss Alps

Switzerland via Basel

~220 miles

South into Switzerland via Basel. The roads get smaller and better as you climb. Afternoon free to explore, group dinner in the shadow of the Alps.

4

Swiss Alps → Dover

The Vosges Mountains home run

~480 miles

Early start through the Vosges mountain range, north through France and home via Dover. You'll be planning the next one before you're off the ferry.
