Join us on this specially crafted, 8-day Alpine Adventure through the German, Austrian, Italian and Swiss Alps. The itinerary has been developed especially for this unique Ayres Adventures Club Tour by two of our native Alpine Tour Leaders who live in Germany and Austria. You'll be traveling in Claus and Axel's "back yard" and will experience the best the Alps have to offer.
Oktoberfest ends October 6, 2013 - two days after the last riding day of this Adventure. Riders arriving a few days early or who delay their departure will have the opportunity to participate in this very unique Bavarian tradition. Oktoberfest is the world's largest fair with 5 million attendees - Germany's most famous event.
The Adventure features:
- The Bavarian Alps
- The most famous motorcycle pass in all of Europe – The Mighty Stelvio. The pass has more than 40 very sharp hairpin turns on each side and the scenery must be seen to be believed. We'll stop at the top of the Stelvio for photos and a refreshing hot drink at one of the snack bars or restaurants.
- The Italian Dolomites
- An overnight stay in a rustic, spa hotel in Warth, Austria
- The smallest country in the world, Liechtenstein
- A stop at the famous King Ludwig Castle as we depart the Alps and arrive back in Munich - the beer capital of Bavaria
Riders choosing to arrive a little early or who stay after the tour will also have the opportunity to tour the BMW Museum and the BMW automobile factory in Munich. Ayres Adventures can help you plan these visits.
The Route
The route is entirely paved but includes some challenging sections, particularly in the mountains and while passing through small towns. The tour is best done by riders who are experienced with narrow, twisty mountain roads.
