Alps passes 2024

Alps passes  is a fantastic motorcycle tour for good riders who want to test their riding capacity on the most beautiful roads in the World. Do you consider yourself a good rider ? This is a good way to prove it: the best of the Alps in 8 days and over 20 passes. Go from Italy to France into Switzerland back to Italy, enjoying the good cuisine, nice hotels and great landscapes: this could be the “perfect motorcycle holiday”!

With the Alps Passes we will start from Milan riding through Piemonte to the French Alps to climb the Lombarda Pass (2350 mtrs), crossing into France then the Col de la Bonnette (2715 mtrs), wild and dry, then the Monginevro Pass in one breath then the highest tarred pass in Europe, the Iseran, 2770 mtrs, proceeding east we will get to Italy again with the Gran San Bernardo and the Piccolo San Bernardo, then into Switzerland and the Novena Pass (2478 mtrs), then to the fantastic loop of the Furkapass (2431 mtrs), the Grimsel (2165 mtrs) and Susten (2274 mtrs) all in one breath.

Then on the Stelvio Pass at 2758 with 48 hairpins, the Gavia pass, very little known but tight and beautiful, Rombo pass (2491 mtrs), Giovio (2094 mtrs) entering the Dolomites area, part of the Alps, called this way for the typical rocks forming these wonderful pink mountains. The Pordoi (2239 mtrs), the Campolongo,  the Sella (2240 mtrs) are the passes we will be looking for before riding back to Milan to drop off the motorcycles at the end of an incredible week over the Alps after having seen a good part of the lake region too.

What bike will I use ?? Our fleet is composed by different bikes of all ages, some “old new” bikes, old for the age, new for the mileage, like BMW 1200 GS , Honda VFR, Ducati ST4S,  some vintage bikes like Morini 350, Honda 500 Four, BMW R 60/5, some new bikes like BMW 700 GS, you can choose among the list, price is the same for each bike. In case you wish a very new bike like the last model on e market of a BMW or a Ducati we have access to a large fleet but there will be an extra to pay depending on the model.

Do you consider yourself a good rider ? You do not need to be particularly fit as long as you have some experience on twisty roads, our tour leader will give you some suggestions on how to  ride on harpins, swipers, tight curves, you will get back to your country with more experience and permanent memories in your mind!!

And… may be some extra weight for the good food and wine !!!
