Alps Motorcycle Tour

"Official Travel Partner of BMW Motorrad"

This "Extreme" tour is sponsored by the Iron Butt Association. Iron Butt Extreme tours are open to all experienced riders who enjoy spending more time in the saddle than our leisurely Premium Motorcycle Tours afford (or that are available from other tour operators). These special tours are favored by long-distance fans who enjoy traveling with like minded enthusiasts. Click here for additional information on these special tours.

In conjunction with the Iron Butt Association, we have crafted two Extreme Alpine Adventures. Each of our 9-Day IBA Alpine Adventures include a "challenge day" in which riders will enjoy as many as 19 of the most popular mountain passes in the Alps. Since the two Alpine Adventures are scheduled "back-to-back", some riders may opt to book both Adventures for a total escape of 18 days. Minimal repetition of the two routes is planned (see Extreme Alps Tour 2).

The collection of passes incorporated into the itinerary for this tour include the Nufenen Pass, Furka Pass, Grimsel Pass, Susten Pass, Oberalp Pass, Luckmanier Pass, San Bernardino Pass, Spluga Pass, Maloja Pass, Julier Pass, Albula Pass, Bernina Pass, Aprica Pass, Foppa Pass, Gavia Pass, Passo Tonale, and "The King" – The Stelvio Pass (Europe's second highest pass)

Mike Kneebone will participate in both of these Extreme Alpine Adventures that are scheduled for 2010.
