Motorcycle Tours Italy – Passes, Coasts and Islands

<p>Motorcycle tours in Italy take you from the Alpine arc in the north down to the Mediterranean islands in the south. The north lines up the Dolomites, Lake Garda and the great Western Alpine passes; central Italy offers the curves of Tuscany and the Apennines; and the south delivers the quiet coastal roads of Sardinia, Sicily and Corsica. With OVERCROSS you ride these regions guided or self-guided – with experienced tour leaders, planned stages and hotels that fit the route. Whether you are a beginner on the Dolomites intro tour or a high-mileage rider on the 50-passes loop, there is a trip for every level.</p>

In the Alps and Dolomites the high passes are usually snow-free from June to September – the core window for high-mountain tours. Tuscany, the Apennines and the islands are more pleasant in spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), when temperatures are moderate and roads quieter. High summer stays hot and busy in the south.
