OUR DNA

100 Members.
Character and Drive.

One hundred members, and not one more. A single, shared passion. Headquartered in Switzerland. Young or old, what matters is character and drive. The Alps-Riviera Drivers’ Club is a private members’ club for those who adore the automobile and delight in looking beyond the horizon – be it mobility, AI, business or culture.

We are neither a racing stable nor a vintage-car circle, but a club for discerning owners of every marque who appreciate a legendary Grand Tour, exclusive knowledge formats (‘Beyond the Hood’) and a network built to last. Our carefully curated community is the very heart of the Club.

Here, friendships are forged that reach far beyond the automobile!

THE PEOPLE

An Exclusive Circle. Remarkable Occasions.

Our members are exceptional – and that is precisely what we treasure. Inspired by the storied clubs of London’s Pall Mall and the splendour of the Belle Époque Riviera, the Alps-Riviera Drivers’ Club is, by design, an intimate circle of individuals with a warm presence and genuine empathy.

In other words: personal encounters rather than anonymous membership lists, curated experiences rather than mass events. We believe in a living network, not chatbots. From the annual Grand Tour to our exclusive knowledge formats, our members experience the automobile as it was always meant to be enjoyed: as a reason to come together.

THE SPIRIT

Driving Culture, Responsibly.

At the Alps-Riviera Drivers’ Club, it is the shared experience that matters – not the horsepower beneath the bonnet. Our members drive with style, consideration and respect for fellow road users and for nature.

Extraordinary Roads.
Unforgettable Moments.

Three formats, one shared passion for mobility. We create encounters, open doors to insider knowledge and orchestrate moments of rare beauty on the open road.

100 Drivers. One Club.

Rare Moments.
Exceptional People.

Membership of the Alps-Riviera Drivers’ Club is limited to 100. Only thus can we preserve a community that is genuine and truly exclusive. Our members are its beating heart – never merely ‘one of many’. Everyone knows one another; conversation flows freely. Our ‘Beyond the Hood’ gatherings can only be staged for a select few, in a setting worthy of the occasion. All Club activities are held under the Chatham House Rule.

Our Welcome Package comprises an engraved metal Club Card together with a collection of travel and sporting accessories designed exclusively for the Alps-Riviera Drivers’ Club. These pieces are strictly ‘Members Only’ and cannot be acquired anywhere else.

For reasons of privacy, this image has been anonymised. Every Member Card bears the holder’s engraved first name and surname.

The Admission Process

‘What does driving
mean to you?’

Our application form deliberately goes beyond the usual contact details. We would like to learn more about your cars, your professional background and the tours and destinations you have already explored. We also ask what draws you to the Club. At its heart lies one question: what does driving mean to you?

All information is treated in the strictest confidence. We never sell our members’ data or information to third parties for marketing purposes.

‘The Alps-Riviera
Grand Tour’

BAVARIA — SWISS ALPS — LAGO MAGGIORE — MONACO

One of the world’s most beautiful driving routes. An incomparable destination. New perspectives and culinary highlights, savoured together.

The Finest of the Alps.
A Grand Finale in Monaco.

Once a year, the Alps-Riviera Drivers’ Club sets out on its singular Grand Tour: a journey of several days across the world’s most spectacular passes and panoramic roads, all the way to the Mediterranean. The route changes from year to year – perhaps from Bavaria’s fairy-tale royal castles through Switzerland and the Valais, over the Simplon Pass to Lago Maggiore and onwards to the Riviera.

The destination, however, never changes: Monaco. Few places embody the world of the automobile quite like Monte Carlo, with its legendary motorsport heritage, its extraordinary cars and its inimitable way of life. On one of the Riviera’s most enchanting corners, the Alps-Riviera Grand Tour reaches its crowning finale.

Along the way, participants can look forward to hand-picked roads, first-class 4-star superior and 5-star hotels, convivial dinners and memorable stops far from the beaten track. Road book and tour equipment notwithstanding, the Grand Tour is deliberately not a frantic competition but a journey in the truest sense of the word: what counts is the pleasure, not the clock. Places are limited and reserved for members; selected Driving Guests may join upon request. For on the Grand Tour, as throughout the Club, one principle prevails: quality over quantity.
