Alpine 50-Pass Tour: 4 Countries in 9 Days

Your Alps motorcycle tour begins at 7 a.m. at the Geismühle West service station (A57). The group stops every 220 km, where you can join in – if you prefer, you can also travel individually directly to the intermediate hotel in Bad Reichenhall.

Today's Alpine pass motorcycle stage crosses eight passes, including the highlight of the whole trip: the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. The smaller passes in Friuli also deliver plenty of riding fun. Overnight stay at the Hotel Parc Victoria in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Over the Passo di Giau you reach the Sella Circuit, which makes this Dolomites motorcycle stage so special: four passes ridden counterclockwise. The route continues over the Karerpass and Mendelpass to the Stelvio, before this stage ends in Livigno.

After a duty-free fuel stop in Livigno, this Alpine pass road stage takes you over the Passo del San Bernardino and seven more passes to Andermatt in Switzerland, where the Motel Gottardo Sud Piotta awaits.

This stage of the Switzerland-France-Italy motorcycle tour covers long stretches free of motorways through Switzerland to Sallanches. Along the way you take on the St. Gotthard Pass via the historic Tremola route, before checking into the Hotel ibis Sallanches.

Over the Col de la Madeleine you reach the Col du Galibier, one of the ten highest Alpine passes on the tour. Nine more passes follow, six of them part of the Route des Grandes Alpes motorcycle stage. Overnight stay at the Hotel La Lauzetane.

The highlight of this stage is the Col de la Bonette motorcycle climb to the highest paved pass in the Alps, plus the Grand Canyon du Verdon. Seven more passes and the Gorges de Daluis round off the day before the overnight stay in Manosque.

This onroad Alps motorcycle stage takes you through the Drôme and the Vercors, including the Col de Rousset and the Cirque de Combe Laval, before a stretch of motorway leads to the last intermediate hotel in Lyon.

To conclude this Krefeld-Alps motorcycle tour, the group rides together or individually back to Krefeld or straight home – with more than 50 Alpine passes ridden and nine eventful days across four countries behind you.
