Lake Garda is arguably one of the most beautiful in Europe. The Dolomite Mountains contain some of the top biking roads anywhere. Put the two together and you have one fantastic tour.
For this tour we take an early morning euro tunnel crossing before travelling through France, Belgium and Luxembourg to spend our first night in the picturesque Ruwer valley of Germany.
Situated within its own vineyard our hotel for the evening is the ideal place to relax after a long day. Day two and we make a steady pace through the stunning countryside of the Mosel and Rheinland-Pfalz to our overnight stop outside the Bavarian town of Ulm.
Our journey now takes us towards Austria and over the fantastic Timmelsjoch Pass which rises to 2509 meters. We arrive in the Dolomites today and for the next three nights enjoy Italian style cooking in a fabulous family owned hotel with indoor swimming pool, steam room and sauna.

If for any reason you have difficulty accessing any of the information, please contact us and we will send you printed copies.
During our time here we will ride Passo di Giau, Passo San Pellegrino, Passo di Falzarego and many more. The Dolomites are amazing and amongst the best places in Europe to be riding a motorcycle.
As we begin our journey away from the mountains the landscape begins to change and starts to really take on the flavour of Italy. Our hotel for the next three nights is located directly on the banks of the Lake and provides an ideal base to explore the area. If you like you can take one of the boats that leave from the harbour directly outside the hotel, get the bike out and ride the stunning roads of the surrounding countryside or just kick back and relax. You are welcome to join us as we ride into the mountains to visit the Bocca Navene Cafe which at 5000 feet offers an incredible view of the lake.
Reluctantly we leave the lake and travel to Austria to spend the night in a luxury four star hotel with full leisure facilities. En-route we rise to the challenge of the mighty Stelvio, at a height of 2758 metres and with 48 hairpin bends taking you to the summit this really is a magnificent pass. If this is not enough we leave the Austrian Alps behind and ride further north to Germany’s Black Forest where we stay in a traditional family run hotel in the centre of the forest.
The next day we travel north to the Ardennes but not before we have ridden along a section of the famous B500. Our final night is spent in a superb four star hotel in the Ardennes region of Belgium with an excellent restaurant and views over the Semois River.
On our final day we ride back through Northern France to Calais and our mid-afternoon ferry crossing back to Dover.
As you return home and try to recount all the good times you had, don’t forget that very soon you will have a fully edited DVD arriving on your doorstep to bring back all those memories. Enjoy.
