DESCRIPTION

The OPEN PORSCHES TOUR ® is an international Drive Out ® of several days for PORSCHES without a roof (Spyder, Speedster, Cabrio, Boxster) owners and their partner, where road tour driving and international networking during apero and delicious meals in unique settings, are combined.

This TOP event will take place from Sunday evening 16th June until Thursday morning 20th June 2024.

We meet on Sunday evening 16th June @ the 4-star hotel Les Trésoms Lake and Spa Resort ****, located on - and with a view of - the beautiful Lac d'Annecy. We start there at 7 PM with a cozy apero during which we can get to know each other.

From Thursday morning 20th June - after breakfast in Château la Commanderie Grenoble - everyone has plenty of time to get home comfortably and safely.

In total we drive 900 km of beautiful, winding roads, spread over three days (Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday 17-18-19 June).
We spend the night 4 times: from Wednesday night, up to and including the Saturday night. All hotels have 4 stars.

There is no competition involved. Experiencing beautiful moments together among like-minded people - passionate PORSCHE SPYDER, SPEEDSTER, CABRIO & BOXSTER enthusiasts - is central.

Places are limited.

All fully open Porsches are welcome (Targas are considered not fully open). During this event, everyone is expected to drive open at all times, unless it rains.
