Via the Grandes Alpes to Cote D'Azure


 

 

This delightful motorcycle trip will take you over the most beautiful mountains of France with great food and wine.

The day's distances are easy to do so you don't have to leave early in the morning, have enough time to stop at many beautiful places and, upon arrival from the hotel, still have time to explore the area, if only on the terrace with a beer or wine.

Mountains Grandes Alpes 684 kilometers and 16 mountain passes in the Alps including: Col dÍseran ( highest at 2,764 meters ) , Col du Galibier, Col d' Izoard, Col de la Madeliene and Col de la Bonette.

Good preparation

In addition to a major service beforehand, it is important to leave with -nearly- new tires. In some of these countries, motorcyclists are also required to bring a first-aid kit, spare lights and reflective safety jacket (including for passenger). We also recommend bringing a tire repair kit.

Group tour but still individual

For each riding day a route description is made. You can decide per day whether you want to ride the route alone with your travel companions or with other group members. This way you have optimal freedom during the trip and can ride at your own pace.

Travel Guidance

The tour guide rides along on the motorcycle. His or her tasks consist of providing information about the options on the days off, confirming the hotels along the way and generally ensuring that the trip runs smoothly. Of course the tour leader is the contact person for all possible issues during the trip.

Luggage

During this short Europe trip, there will be no follow car. It is therefore important that you bring your luggage on the back of the motorcycle.

Heavy travel

Day distances are not long for most days of this trip, leaving plenty of time for frequent stops.
