Tour: Grand French Alps

Most individuals love the idea of a motorcycle vacation but dread the thought of organizing it. The part before can get very stressful. With us, all you have to do is to pack your personal belongings, we even send you our packing-checklist and to book your flight, the rest we take care off.

Tour Description

On your arrival in Switzerland, we meet you and bring you to your hotel in Bern, where you may refresh yourself. We meet later and have dinner together. The next day, you may sleep a bit longer, we meet you at the hotel and have a little briefing and introduce you the local conditions.

Be one of the first one to cross the French Alps in spring

Our alpine-tour begins easy along some rivers, lakes and though woods and we might even make a stop at a Swiss chocolate factory?

The following days will be full of discoveries, breath-taking panoramas and wonderful views in and over the French Alps.

The chosen itinerary will take us over twenty six high alpine passes and we’ll ride over 25’000 vertical meters until we see the sea. In Nice, we can relax and rest a bit until we ride back to Bern over a bit more relaxing and easy route.
