STAGE 1

AUSTRIA

After our arrival in Vienna, we’ll move closer to the Alpine Mountains in the comfort of a minibus, where we will experience all the fantastic experiences of our trip. In the town of Zell am See, the entry point to the Alps, we pick up our BMW R1300 GS and start with the most famous thing the Austrian mountains have to offer – the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse.

This mountain road, which was built almost 90 years ago, connects the Salzburg and Carinthia regions and offers visitors breathtaking views of Austria’s highest peak, the Grossglockner at 3,798 metres above sea level, and Austria’s largest glacier, the Pasterze. The road is located in the Hohe Tauern National Park, the largest protected area in the Alps, and offers a full 48 kilometres of incredible views. A trip along this road is an unforgettable experience for anyone who loves beautiful nature and mountain scenery.

STAGE 2

ITALY

From the Austrian Alps we will move on to the Italian Alps, which are quite different and offer even more breathtaking experiences. The Dolomites are a mountain area in northern Italy that covers an area of approximately 141,903 hectares.

This region is famous for its rocky peaks that are popular destinations for climbers and hikers. Mount Seceda is one of the most significant peaks in the Dolomites. It is located in the southern part of the mountain and has an altitude of 2,518 metres. But do not worry, we are not climbing anywher. We’re going to use the cable car that will take us to the top of the mountain where we’ll and enjoy the spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Another important point on the route will be Passo dello Stelvio, famous for its serpentine curves, where every motorcyclist will have a blast. At the top at 2,758m above sea level, we will have an incredible view down the valley to all 48 curves and also to the glacier above the pass.

And as far as taste experiences go, our tours are not just about motorbikes. We will taste authentic Italian pizza and spaghetti to complete our impressions with authentic gastronomic experiences. With every bite, we’ll be reminded why Italian cuisine is so popular around the world.

STAGE 3

SWITZERLAND

Switzerland is an alpine country that attracts visitors with its natural and cultural diversity. In spite of the delicious cheeses, chocolates, which of course, to be tasted along the way, the country is known for an endless list of luxury mountain resorts.

Switzerland is also renowned for its mountain railways, which offer not only transport, but also a unique experience and a break from the ordinary stereotype. The Swiss mountain railways are a worldwide phenomenon. Because of its extraordinary attractiveness, the railways over the passes have been included in the world UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first Swiss railway was put into operation in 1847. Swiss railways are undoubtedly another symbol of this beautiful country surrounded by mountains and I have to say, it’s an incredible thing to see trains running in the mountains.

STAGE 4

FRANCE

We will then head into the heart of the French Alps, where we will climb alpine passes, both on asphalt and on challenging terrain. The balcony roads in France are like a separate verse in the symphony of the beauty of the European landscape. Also known as „Routes des Balcons“, these routes are romantic in spirit, offering views you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. They are scenic, twisting roads that surround mountains and valleys as if they were carved directly into the hillside. When you find yourself on the balcony roads, it feels like the world around you loses any boundary. The roads wind between hills and mountains, sometimes creating steep curves with incredible views of the landscape below. New perspectives emerge with every mile, creating the feeling that you are part of something bigger than just an ordinary road.

But our adventure doesn’t just focus on the road. We also bring you taste adventures of French cuisine and wine. We’ll stop at local wine bars so you can taste delicious wines and learn the stories that come with these drinks. Along with culinary delights, you can experience the authentic atmosphere of French towns and villages.
