In the evening we are expected for the apero and dinner in the hotel.
The room is available from 3 pm.
The wellness facilities of the hotel are highly recommended.
DAY 2
After an extensive breakfast we leave the Roomers Hotel. Via the winding Scharzwaldstrasse B500 we head direction Switzerland. The ideal way to wake up.
A stop at the waterfalls of Schaffhausen is one of the options.
IWC Schaffhausen
The real reason why we drive in this direction is an exclusive visit to the worldfamous watch house IWC.
The International Watch Company was founded in 1868 by the American Florentine Ariosto Jones. Mr. Jones’ watches gained fame as thé watch for the aviation enthusiast, using titanium. IWC is part of the luxury goods holding of Richemont since 2000. This group represents many prestigious houses.
Don’t forget that IWC works on a regular basis together with Porsche Design. This makes it interesting for car enthusiasts.
More than worth a visit !
Life’s too short to stay in a boring hotel
THE DOLDER GRAND
The next two days you will experience an overnight stay in a real landmark of Switzerland : The Dolder Grand.
A stay in this hotel is a destination in itself. The history goes back to 1899. It is one of the best hotels in the world. It was a former Kurhaus/Spa and it got a complete makeover by the famous architect Norman Foster. The whole transformation cost more than 250 million euros. Winston Churchill, Prins Charles, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Sofia Loren belonged to the guestlist in the past. This list is endless.
Also in terms of art, this hotel is a museum in itself. Marvel at works of art Andy Warhol, Salvator Dali etc.
Besides the art, the hotel offers you a wellness area of 4000 m².
This iconic venue corresponds perfectly to the saying : life is too short to stay in a boring hotel !
DAY 3 and 4
Today will be a real drivers day. After breakfast in The Dolder Grand we head to the mountains via exciting roads. Be surprised by the unforgettable views, driving higher than 2000 meters and much more.

Rules
- What are the rules for this Tour ? Which car do I need to participate ? RUFIE loves to bring car enthusiasts together in the first place. A passion for automobiles is more important than being an owner of a very exclusive sportscar.

- The Tour is dedicated to oldtimers and recent premium sportcars. You are in the best place to judge if your oldtimer is fitted for this trip.
- One important point is to dispose of an actual gps and to have the skills of using it. In the ideal world your GPS is able to import a gpx-file.
