Conquering the Bernina Pass: Essential Tips for an Unforgettable Drive

Few climbs offer such clear visibility to those behind the wheel as the road of the Bernina Gran Turismo. This spectacular route to the pass of the same name winds gracefully through alpine meadows, giving drivers the chance to select the perfect speed and gear for each bend. Thanks to advanced scanning technology, the course has been recreated with exceptional precision for the Roarington simulators, delivering an exhilaratingly realistic driving experience. The quality and accuracy of this work have already been proven in past editions of the Bernina Gran Turismo, where drivers trained on Roarington simulators to learn every section of the route—without risk, and without unnecessary pollution. To achieve a competitive time, experts recommend “mentally dividing” the course into three sectors, allowing drivers to memorise every detail: from the gears required to tackle its sweeping bends, to the subtle variations in gradient that define a true mountain pass. One of the greatest advantages of simulator training is the ability to return instantly to the starting line with a single click—multiplying practice runs and maximising the chance to perfect every move.
