Jaguar | The Alpine Rally

Join us for a thrilling driving experience on the tracks of the iconic Rallye Automobile Monte‑Carlo. During the course of three days, we will conquer numerous mountain passes on our way from Geneva to Nice. Let's go!

Geneva - Uriage

The first part of the route takes us through beautiful moody forests. With the all-wheel drive of the Jaguar F-Type R Convertible, the 575 hp are no challenge to handle - even on wet roads. On our first day, we already drive parts of the Rallye Automobile Monte‑Carlo. The iconic Col du Granier for example was already part of the rally in 1962.

After an exciting journey full of historic highlights, a first culinary highlight awaits us at the Maison Aribert near Grenoble. The small, luxurious hotel is run by 2-Michelin-star chef Christophe Aribert who set up a wonderful place at the crossroads of the Vercors, Belledonne and Chartreuse mountain ranges. It is the perfect base camp for car enthusiasts.

For us coffee enthusiasts, the Café A, a contemporary village café, is an absolute highlight. Located on the ground floor of Maison Aribert, Café A is both authentic and modern. Here, we start into the second day - the French way with an espresso and some croissants as well as a pain au chocolat.

Uriage - Saint-Geniez

After a delicious breakfast, we continue our trip through the French Alps. Four rally stages await us today. All of them with historic significance.

Furmeyer - Barcillonette: In total, the Rallye Automobile Monte‑Carlo led over this section at least 17 times, which makes it one of the most famous stages.

Vaumeilh - Claret: This short stage was only driven once, during the 86th Rallye Automobile Monte‑Carlo in 2018.

Sisteron - Thorad: This great rally stage has been driven more than 28 times since 1966 and offers an exceptional view of the valley.

Briançonnet - Entrevaux: This stage was driven in the most recent edition of the rally and is the last stage of our tour.

Ultimate Provence

Although a bit tired, we happy at the beautiful Ultimate Provence Hotel. The luxurious property is surrounded by its own vineyards. Designed in contemporary style, the 33 rooms of the hotel in the Var are perfect to unwind after a long day. Let's enjoy the beauty of the Provence region.

Overlooking the vines, each room is instilled with a style of its own. The design hotel was built and equipped with attention to detail. Small, intimate and modern, it matches our taste perfectly! In this atmosphere, we enjoy a glass of the hotel's Ultimate Provence Rosé paired with the finest truffle linguine on the beautiful terrace.

Saint-Geniez - La Garde-Freinet

The third and last day leads us to Nice. With its glamor and luxury, the Côte d'Azur has fascinated generations of guests before us. But what can also be found on the French Riviera are spectacular landscapes with rugged mountains behind the azure sea. The legendary coastal roads that run directly along the Mediterranean and along the cliffs make for lasting impressions. A great way to end the Jaguar Alpine Rally, during which the F-Type R Convertible proved very suitable for the winding roads leading from Geneva to Nice.

Wrist Watch Check

As many of you know, we are huge watch enthusiasts. Hence, we want to share some more information about the watches we brought on this special trip.

Jager-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin

Being a popular brand in Britain, Jager-LeCoultre is a very suitable brand to wear on a Jaguar rally. Its history is strongly linked with polo playing British officers, hence the good fit. For the trip we chose to wear a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin reference 172.2.79.S. The beautiful 38mm case is made from rose gold, inside ticks a manual in-house movement.

Rolex Turn-O-Graph

The other timepiece we brought is a 36mm Rolex Turn-O-Graph in a steel case. This reference 116264 is powered by an automatic in-house movement. It is one of the later references of the Turn-O-Graph models, which nowadays are part of the Datejust collection. Characteristically, its fluted bezel is equipped with a diving scale. The popping red second hand and date make for a versatile mixture of dress and tool watch.
