After I confirmed your tour with a motorcycle with Twincruiser Tours, you may book your flight. Inform me of the details as soon as possible. On your arrival I’ll be waiting for you and get you with your luggage to your hotel in Bern, the federal city of Switzerland.
Tour description
From your arrival until you leave again, I’ll take care of you.
A touring holiday with a motorcycle that is planed and organized just for you or you and your partner or friends. Depending on how you feel, maybe you have to recover from your jet-lag, we get your motorcycle and ride a few miles, just to get used to the local situation and to feel the bike. The tour starts gently, at a lower level, we follow the planed itinerary that runs over smaller passes, then along charming lakes, wild rivers, plunging waterfalls, medieval castles and between high mountains and sharp, dramatic alpine peaks. Its a hassle-free trip, I did plan enough time to enjoy the magnificent panorama and make stops at some must-see sightseeing’s. By the end of the day, we’ll reach the canton Grisons, where we taste some Bündnerfleisch (air-dried meat), Capuns, Tatsch and Maluns with applesauce and for dessert a nut pie, all typical local specialties.
Magnificent rides awaits us, where we might also learn a few words of Romansh, the fourth language spoken in Switzerland. It is one of the Romansh languages, believed to have descended from the «vulgar Latin» spoken by the roman occupiers in «Raetia», today’s Grisons, in the years between 58 BC to 400AC. The third day, we get over the Swiss border, into the Tirol. A 4*+ hotel awaits us with a few surprises!
We may park our motorcycles, unpack and fill the cupboards in our great room as this will be our «Base Camp» for the next few days.
Daily tours are planned from this ideally placed hotel in the middle of the Alps.
Each day-tour has a specific name, that make us wonder: Alps pure-, Secret Roads-, Smugglers-, Spaghetti-, ride into the Nameless Valley, Sources, Lakes and Waterfalls, James Bond Corner, High Alpine Glacier-Tour and more. During our regular briefings, I present you the tour with all its characteristics and you choose what appeals to you. Enjoy the freedom, respect Mother Nature and experience the thrill of climbing mountain roads on your motorcycle and to fall in love with great views from some of the highest passes in Europe.
Should you or your partner want to have a short break from the motorcycling touring, you may spoil yourself in the wellness area of the 4*+ hotel. Many activities and services are available; like having a full body massage, actually great after a day on the motorcycle, or a manicure, a pedicure, a facial or enjoy a swim in the heated outside pool with a drink.
