Tour: Alpine Passes Opening

High up in the mountains, right up to the top of the Alps, when the sun gets stronger and slowly melts the meter high snow, the marmots awake from their winter sleep, the first flowers show their sharp colours and the Swiss passes are opening.

Tour description

We start the motorcycle season with a special

Our winter has left us and we may get our  motorcycles out of their hibernation. Check your motorcycle, make a slow test-ride or simply rent a motorcycle from us and be one of the first to ride between high snow walls!
