THE ALPINE EXPLORER TOUR ITINERARY
Europe’s most iconic mountain roads. One unforgettable ride.
Note: If you're not riding from the UK on your own motorcycle, the route will be adapted to begin with bike pickup near Innsbruck Airport, giving us more time in the high Alps. There is also the option to add some off-road riding to this tour via sections of the Italian TET (Trans Euro Trail)—perfect for riders seeking a bit more grit in their adventure.
