Our BMW Motorrad Days Adventure provides riders with the opportunity to enjoy some of the most popular riding in the Alps, coupled with the largest BMW party in the world - BMW Motorrad Days.
This special tour begins with a selection of a late model motorcycle from the full BMW line. Accommodations will vary from comfortable upper middle-class hotels to Five-Star accommodations – clearly a cut above what is offered by other tour companies. Most of our dining will be a la carte, with many dinners in intimate, upscale restaurants. You will never be presented with a limited-choice, “tourist” menu on any of our tours.
Arrival Day: Zurich. The arrival destination for all of our Alpine Adventures is Zurich, Switzerland. We’ll meet your flight, escort you to your lake front hotel in the pleasant Zurich suburb of Kusnacht, and let you get familiarized with your motorcycle. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a kick-off celebration dinner in a fine restaurant.
Day 2: Zurich to Garmisch. You'll begin your first riding day with an delightful ride to the Bavarian town of Garmisch, where BMW Motorrad Days is held. You'll arrive in Garmisch early enough to check out the opening events at BMW Motorrad Days.
Days 3 & 4: Garmisch. During your stay in Garmisch you'll have plenty of time to attend the events at BMW Motorrad Days as well as enjoy some magnificent riding in the area. You can either take off on one of our guided tours of the area or strike out on your own.
Day 5: Garmisch to Corvara. From Garmisch you'll ride the Alps through Austria and into Italy, surrounded by the Italian Dolomites. The scenery and landscapes on today’s ride will be absolutely stunning. And you'll enjoy a great hotel in Corvara, with amazing views of the Dolomites.
Day 6: Corvara to Merano. Today’s ride will include the Timmels Joch Pass, another favorite of Alpine motorcyclists, and concludes with a relaxing stop in a Five Star hotel in Merano.
Day 7: Merano to St. Moritz, Switzerland. Your first major event of today’s ride will be the most famous motorcycle pass in all of Europe – the Stelvio Pass. The pass has more than 40 very sharp hairpin turns on each side. The scenery is indescribable – it must be seen to be believed. Be sure to stop at the top of the Stelvio for photos and a refreshing hot drink at one of the snack bars or restaurants.
From the Stelvio, you’ll experience another most enjoyable riding day on the way to St. Moritz – one of the most famous towns in Switzerland. St. Moritz is renowned for beautiful landscapes, high fashion, fine cuisine and great hospitality. Chances are you’ll have a great day in St. Moritz, as the sun shines an average of 322 days per year. And we know you'll enjoy the 5-Star hotel that we use in the town.
Day 8: St. Moritz to Cannobio. After another great day of riding in the Alps, we’ll arrive in Canobio and settle into a charming little lakefront hotel for the evening. The hotel is situated on the shore of Lake Maggiore – the second largest lake in Italy.
Day 9: Cannobio to Zurich. After another great day of riding you’ll arrive back at your hotel with plenty of time to relax and clean up before your special celebration dinner.
Day 10: Departure Day. We’ll accompany you to the airport for your flight home.
Our Alpine Adventures afford an ideal opportunity to include non-riding companions. Tours include a large, comfortable support vehicle. Just register your guest as a passenger and let us know that you’d like us to reserve a seat in the support vehicle. Passengers will enjoy all the attractions of the Adventure.
