Simon's favourite: "... due to the roads, the road conditions, the scenery, the technical aspects of it, I actually think Grossglockner (Austria)."

pricing
Your tour price will depend on several things:
-
which bike you choose, if you bring your own bike or if you're riding pillion.

The prices are based on twin or double share accommodation in mainly 4 star hotels, ie. you'll share a room with another person.

easy riding
Day 1 is an easy riding day so you can get familiar with your motorcycle and riding on the right hand side of the road.
We ride at a steady pace, so you don't have to worry about racing around hairpins bends - though there will be occasional opportunity to open up the throttle a little.
We'll be taking several breaks each day, so you can rehydrate and indulge in local cuisines along the way. :)
language skills a bit rusty?
we speak fluent Australian
Many people in Europe speak at least basic English and our local guide will help you interpret.
Bridget is also learning French, so she'll be able to help you un peu (a little) in the French Alps. :)
Most importantly, we both speak Australian fluently - haha!
take advantage of the rest days
manage your fatigue
Riding the Alps takes more focus and concentration than usual, so we've included four rest days.
This means you can relax and recharge after a few days of riding and stay fresh.
Check out some of the local sights or give your eyelids a rest. :)
fancy staying in an alpine hotel or two?
get a taste of alpine culture
Our hotels are chosen for their unique charm and comfort.
They have secure garages for our bikes, too.
So you can relax in comfort and enjoy the local cuisines and cultures.

Our van will also carry your luggage every day, so you feel free and light as you lean into those curves.
It also has room for a passenger, so if you're unwell, you can hitch a ride that day.
No worries.
