Everything about the The Collen Challenge
The areas
We discover
The base of the The Collen Challenge is Switzerland, but in two stages we have a trip to France and Italy.
The idea
Creating Stories
In summary: The most beautiful route through the Alps, which might not really be ordinary, but does pose a challenge. A fine hotel in the evening and the opportunity to share experiences at the bar.
The car
We recommend
Competing in The Collen Challenge is usually done with a sports car of convertible. That's the best choice.
The essence
The accommodation
We strive for good, clean and comfortable. So, no hotel from a big chain but a charming local hotel where you are being spoiled by the employees. In Switzerland we have selected 5 beautiful hotels which suffice these criteria.
Nights: 5
The food
The same thing goes for the food. The local kitchens are in the center of attention and we eat among the local population. Nowhere does the cheese fondue taste as good as in Switzerland.
5 diners
The route
The Mountain Passes will mainly be driven in Switzerland. Yet we also make two trips to Northern-Italy and France.
Countries: 3

We want to make CarChallenge more environment friendly. First of all we try to compensate our CO2 emissions. Secondly we bring capital to rural areas in underdeveloped countries.
- CO2-rights: In some industrial sectors you need to buy certain CO2-rights for every ton of CO2 you emit. By purchasing those rights ourselves, and by destroying them afterwards we can compensate part of our annual emissions.
- We organise events in rural areas where no tourists ever come. We bring capital and employment to those areas that need it.
