Overview

Your riding adventure will start with a day of discovering Lake Garda, with its picturesque waterfront views and blanket of expansive clear water. We will then climb up into the Alps and challenge ourselves with the famous twists and turns of the Stelvio Pass, named in 2008 by the Top Gear presenter, as one of the best driving roads in Europe. It is a masterpiece of road engineering and one of the most dramatic passes in the Alps due to its extraordinary wall of switchback turns. Our journey will then continue to Switzerland and riding one of the highest roads in Europe and most scenic rides in the world, the Furka Pass. The views are a biker’s dream, as you see the winding route unfurl into the distance ahead of you. All meals are included, with breakfast and dinner served at the hotel. We will make lunch stops en route, at hand-picked locations, during our riding days. You will be joined by several motorcycle racing stars, who will be your guides and hosts throughout your experience. Our tour itinerary gives you the opportunity to socialise in a relaxed atmosphere with like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts and our down-to-earth racing professionals.

Highlights

Riding the Alps

Riding the Alps

With this tour you will experience two of the world’s greatest roads on two wheels, in one combined experience, however the journey between each of these will be equally stunning. Riding the Alps will be a breath-taking encounter. You are likely to see snowed-peaked mountains, glaciers, valleys, charming villages, and alpine forests scattered across the landscape, as far as the eye can see. We’ll be taking our time on these roads, allowing for plenty of stops to soak up the panoramic views.

Luxury hotel

Luxury hotel

Our Woodcote promise is to select the finest, luxurious five-star hotels to be your residence throughout the experience. We believe that enjoying the time you spend off your bike is just as important as time spent out riding, so our tour itinerary allows for plenty of time to indulge in the local surroundings, views, hotel facilities, and cuisine. All clients will have a double room as standard, so your residence for the entire experience will be comfortable and spacious.
