to make sure that particular “treats” that are part of the framework
programme, like restaurant visits or trips to certain sights,
remain enjoyable. Smaller groups simply make it easier to get to
know one another.
“The feeling of
driving a classic car
is simply different
than that of driving
a new one.”
“Planning the routes
has less to do with
the places than with
finding the hotels.”
L.L. “Travelling with friends” is more than just a line –
it’s the guiding principle behind the tours, right
C.W. Exactly. The quote “Travelling with Friends” is
actually based on a fun story. On a tour in Leogang, one
of the customers had the spontaneous idea of doing a wine
tasting at 9:30pm. That really hadn’t been part of the plan
because we’d wanted to move on the next morning. But all
the participants loved the idea, so it was quickly decided, and
we all went off to drink wine. The sommelier had prepared
the wine cellar quite well – with candles, cheeses, and plenty
of wine, of course, so that we ended up going to bed at 3am.
The next day, that particular customer came up to me and
told me it had been just like an evening with friends. And
that’s how “Travelling with Friends” was born.
L.L. Which route was your personal highlight?
C.W. It always was a dream of mine to participate in the
Arlberg Classic because it's a really personal event. So,
I did it. And because I have this strong connection with the
mountains we decided to offer this breathtaking trip to the
Dolomites.

L.L. Arlberg Classic, at the wheel of an amazing classic car,
back in Lech. What’s the most beautiful part of this?
C.W. The variety the route offers. There’s the alpine character
of the Arlberg and Flexen pass roads as well as the delightful
Bregenz Forest with its wooden houses. And, of course,
coming back to Lech is also stunning. After all – I did spend a
lot of time here as a child. My parents used to take me to Lech
each year to spend a few beautiful days here. I have a lot of
childhood memories connected with this place. And the
summers are amazing – a bunch of classic cars and nobody
is bothered by it. Quite the contrary, the people even enjoy
seeing them. It’s simply amazing!
