Dolomites and Beyond

Ride curvy back roads through wildflower pastures, along lakes and snow capped peaks deep into the Alps. Experience the breathtaking scenery of the Dolomites and continue far beyond some of the highest paved roads of the Alps. Enjoy beautiful, well maintained curvy paved roads through motorcycle heaven in Southern Germany, Austria, Italy, Liechtenstein and some Switzerland!

Start this round-trip motorcycle tour in Munich in direction of the Musical City of Salzburg. Cross the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and penetrate deep into the most glorious of the Dolomites around the Olympic town of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Plan a rest day, you could either cover a dozen more Dolomite pass roads or do some mountain hiking. From Italy to Switzerland ride the most famous switchback road, with 48 hairpin turns to the top of Stelvio Pass. Listen to the sounds of cowbells while cruising through Heidiland, a well-known area of Switzerland. Steep turns and sharp bends, endless serpentines and a superb panorama, describe the Silvretta High Alpine Road which you can ride in route to the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the foot of the tallest mountain of Germany.
