The first day in the Alps. Our tour starts in Seefeld and leads us via Germany to the highest mountain pass in Austria - the Grossglockner Hochalpenstraße. You have to experience it yourself. Ask anyone, who has been here...
Today we are entering Italy the only right way you should. On a motorcycle, via a pass on a one lane, one direction road. Feels like riding on a bicycle path. Into the Dolomites - motorcycle heaven. Riding one pass after the other, seven (7) passes in total. Remember, this is only one riding day.
We are turning to the south, but not without taking another shot a some beautiful passes and the Lago di Carrezza, which is famous for its green colours. After a short visit to the Harley-Davidson dealership in Trento, we went on to our lunch in a typical italian Pizzeria. After lunch, we reach our destination in bright sunshine at Lake Garda. Coasting along the shore we are finishing another great day of riding.
Also on our rest day, we could not resist to ride and explored the surroundings. We found quite some things. The beautiful view over the lake, a waterfall and more.
The route takes us away from Lake Garda into the mountains of northern Italy again. This day will be marked by 2 main passes and a few smaller ones. Passo Gavia and Passo Stelvio are world famous and very well known by Bikers from around the world.
Our last riding day takes us from Livigno in Italy via Switzerland back to Italy to finally end up in Austria. 6 more passes today. That means it is an easy and relaxing day to end the tour. Nevertheless with excellent riding and great highlights.
