Mercedes‑AMG today announced the continuation and expansion of its 2026 AMG Experience season with the inclusion for the first time of off-road driving.
“Back by popular demand, AMG Experience’s ‘On Road’ program returns in 2026. This exclusive six-day excursion features a premier lineup of AMG vehicles and unforgettable driving experiences through some of the West’s most breathtaking landscapes. This AMG Experience journey begins and ends in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with scenic routes winding through Grand Teton National Park and onward toward the geothermal wonders, towering peaks and sweeping valleys that define the Yellowstone region. Along the way, participants will take in pristine lakes, vast grasslands and the raw beauty of the American West – all while enjoying the unparalleled comfort and performance of Mercedes-AMG,” Mercedes said.
“A highlight of this trip: an off-road experience in the legendary AMG G 63 that takes participants beyond the pavement and deep into Montana’s wild terrain. Guided by expert instructors, participants will put the power and precision of the G 63 to the test as they navigate rocky climbs and open backcountry trails. Each day of this bucket-list program will deliver extraordinary scenery, exceptional cuisine, and inspiring company – paired with luxurious accommodations that elevate every moment of the expedition,” Mercedes-AMG claimed.
