Day 6 Luz St Sauveur - Tarascon

The day of 10 passes! We follow a lot of roads taken by the Tour De France, including some of the highest passes. Plenty of challenges today: steep cliffs, cows on the road, construction, but we made it to Tarascon alright!

Day 5 Pamplona - Luz St Sauveur

Time to head into France! Taking in some lovely pass roads and twice climbing through the fog, above the clouds, what an amazing experience!

Day 4 Pamplona - San Sebastian restday

We stayed two nights in our hotel in Pamplona, taking a nice little loop to explore the beautiful city of San Sebastian on the Atlantic ocean.

What a day! We covered more than 400km's of mostly twisty roads to arrive in sunny Pamplona!

Gas stop!
Will and Paul, happy with the roads!

Day 2 - Castelldefels - Avellanes

We had a great first day! Hot, sunny weather, empty, dry roads and nothing but us and the mountains. 

First coffeestop was at Montserrat, with a great view over the valleys below.

Laurens,

I will be with you in September for this tour and riding a R 1200 GS. Are the cases similar to those on the adventure series or the regular GS. Also, are there luggage inserts for the cases or should we bring our own?

Thanks

They are regular GS cases, and you should bring your own case liners if you need them.
See you on the tour!

Thanks for the speedy reply and I look forward to riding with you. We are a group of five from New York and Connecticut. This will be my either sixth or seventh Eidelweiss tour.

I will bring my own case liners.
