Wondering how we use the Ship in our White Nights rally?
Simply put, we spend the nights on board ship and the days chasing it down the coast on the empty roads of the north. Each morning we disembark with the cars and follow the tulip route down the coast to the point of embarkation. All these routes have been carefully researched and driven to ensure you don’t miss your floating hotel.

The historic international station of Canfranc has been transformed into the 5* luxury Canfranc Estacion, a Barcelo Royal Hideaway hotel with a Michelin-starred restaurant. This will be the main base hotel for our fabulous new Pyrenees XL rally in May 2025!
Set against the stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains, deep in the Aragon valley, the building is steeped in history. The station opened as an opulent rail hub in 1928, then witnessed arrests, espionage and gold trafficking during World War II. By 1970 it had closed its doors and lay dormant for decades until work began to transform it into the luxury hotel of today.

Day 16 of the Sultan’s Trial Rally: Slovenia 🇸🇮 to Austria 🇦🇹

The final day 🏁 of the Sultan’s Trail has arrived. After 5,000 km and 15 countries, we’ve experienced an incredible journey filled with history, stunning scenery, and unforgettable motoring adventures. Along the way, we’ve forged lifelong friendships with an amazing group of rally participants.

Today’s destination is Schloss Fuschl, a picturesque lakeside hotel nestled at the foot of the Austrian Alps. But first, we must cross the Alps, hop borders between Germany and Austria, and even board a mountain train.

Driving onto the train, we left our cars behind and emerged from the Tauern Tunnel into the beautiful Salzburg Valley, skipping a long, busy motorway drive. Familiar ski resort signs greeted us, while snow-dusted peaks hinted at the approaching winter.

A final climb brought us past the Eagle’s Nest, a somber reminder of history, before we arrived at Schloss Fuschl. Passing through the iconic Bespoke Rally arch, we knew our incredible journey had come to an end.

With champagne in hand, we celebrated with a gala dinner and the first look at the event video, reliving the highlights of this unforgettable adventure.

Until next time, thank you, Bespoke Rallies, for the memories, the fun, and the magic of the Sultan’s Trail!
