HunterMoss Unveils Two Extraordinary Supercar Journeys to the Monaco Grand Prix

 

There are many ways to attend the Monaco Grand Prix, but few begin several countries away behind the wheel of a rotating fleet of supercars.

Luxury travel company HunterMoss has designed two driving itineraries that turn the journey to Monaco into an event of its own. The experiences combine high-performance driving, five-star hotels and Michelin-star dining across Europe, culminating in a race weekend that unfolds not from the grandstands, but from the decks of a superyacht in Port Hercule.

For a certain kind of traveller, the appeal is obvious. Formula 1 is no longer just a sporting event; it has become a global stage for luxury hospitality, fashion and high-net-worth tourism. Monaco, in particular, is where it all converges. Yachts line the harbour, helicopters shuttle guests in from nearby Nice, and the narrow streets of Monte Carlo become a circuit threaded between some of the most expensive real estate in the world.

HunterMoss’ approach is to stretch that experience across a week or more of driving through Europe’s most dramatic landscapes.

European Supercar Tour - 11 nights

One itinerary, the European Supercar Tour, unfolds over 11 days and four countries. It begins in Zurich, where guests settle into a discreet alpine spa hotel before crossing into the Swiss Alps. The driving quickly becomes the focus, with routes through mountain passes near Andermatt before descending toward the Italian lakes.

The days follow a rhythm that feels almost cinematic: alpine roads in the morning, lakeside lunches in Italy, and evenings spent in historic hotels or Michelin-starred restaurants. Guests rotate through an impressive collection of vehicles, including models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Aston Martin, each chosen for the roads they were built to conquer.

From the Italian lakes the tour continues through the vineyards of Piedmont before crossing into southern France, where the scenery shifts again to lavender fields and sunlit hills. The final destination is the French Riviera, where the quiet rhythm of countryside driving gives way to the spectacle of Monaco during Grand Prix weekend.

Prices from £23,990 / $29,990 (USD) / $44,990 (AUD)


Le Grand Tour Provence - 6 nights

For those with less time, HunterMoss offers a shorter itinerary, Le Grand Tour Provence. The six-night journey focuses on southern France, beginning at a golf and spa retreat in the hills above the Riviera before tracing some of Provence’s most beautiful driving routes.

Guests follow the historic Route Napoléon through the Maritime Alps, pass through dramatic gorges and lakes in the Parc Naturel des Préalpes d’Azur, and stop overnight at a château near Aix-en-Provence. The route continues through the lavender landscapes and winding canyon roads of the Verdon region before returning to the Mediterranean coastline.

Prices from £15,490 / $19,490 (USD) / $28,990 (AUD)


Both tours ultimately converge in Monaco, where the atmosphere shifts from scenic touring to high-octane celebration.

During the Grand Prix weekend, guests watch the race from a privately chartered superyacht moored in Port Hercule, with gourmet dining, open-bar champagne and live entertainment throughout the day. Optional upgrades include helicopter transfers from Nice and a handful of private cabins aboard the yacht itself, turning the race weekend into a floating hotel in the heart of the circuit.

Experiences like this illustrate how much Formula 1 has evolved in recent years. Once primarily a motorsport spectacle, the sport now operates as a global luxury platform, drawing fashion brands, hospitality groups and affluent travellers eager to experience the atmosphere surrounding the race.

HunterMoss’ supercar tours tap neatly into that world. Instead of simply arriving in Monaco for the weekend, guests experience the continent along the way, tracing mountain passes, vineyard roads and coastal highways before reaching the harbour where the race unfolds.

By the time the cars line up on the grid, the journey to Monaco has already been the main event.
