Sinewy curves weave past rolling meadows while snow-capped peaks take your breath away. Switzerland is a visual feast for drivers, deserving of an equally eye-catching car. The VIP Porsche 911 Targa Experience gives you the keys. Hit the road in a winter white, 1985 model. Don’t forget your sunglasses, for the Porsche 911 Targa has a distinctive open roof system that lets the bright blue skies in. This day-long adventure invites you to cruise through the awe-inspiring countryside, with a pit-stop at Piz Gloria, the iconic revolving restaurant made famous in the James Bond classic, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
The Porsche 911 Targa is more than just a car — it is a design icon. With its unmistakable silhouette and open roof, it invites drivers to fully immerse themselves in the world around them. Nestled in the pristine mountain landscape, The Alpina Gstaad offers the ideal stage for such an experience. Slide back the Targa’s roof to soak up the pure Alpine air and stunning scenery. Every curve of the mountain roads echoes the sense of freedom and precision that the 911 Targa embodies.
The day begins with a special welcome gift. The Alpina Gstaad also sends you off with a gourmet picnic for when you fancy a pause in nature. Cruise through the Saanenland countryside past the turquoise Lake Thun, around a 1hr 30 min drive depending on whether you are going at a leisurely Sunday pace or race-car speed. At Mürren, hop into the world’s steepest cable car for a glorious ascent up Schilthorn Mountain.
Piz Gloria awaits at the 2970-metre-high summit. Crowning the peak, the panoramic restaurant serves up some of Switzerland’s most epic views. You get VIP access that matches your luxury ride. Tuck into a platter of local cheese and charcuterie paired with a glass of wine while soaking up the 360° vista, an endless sea of snowy summits. Outside on the ridge, stroll the Walk of Fame that pays tribute to the cast and crew of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, including Bond himself, George Lazenby. Top off your experience with class back at The Alpina Gstaad. Savour a gourmet dinner at one of the hotel’s exceptional restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Martin Göschel, which takes local cuisine to gastronomic heights.
Driving a Porsche 911 Targa in the Gstaad countryside is not just about reaching the destination. It is savouring every moment of the journey: the winding ascents, the thrilling hairpin bends, and the jaw-dropping Alpine scenery.
