Ayres Adventures Europe!

Our 15-day tour of Switzerland, France and Italy includes many of the most popular riding destinations in these countries. Features of the tour include:

  • Accommodations vary from comfortable upper middle-class hotels to Five-Star accommodations – a cut above th level of amenities offered with most other tours. Most dining will be a la carte, with many dinners in intimate, upscale restaurants. 
  • The tour begins and ends in Zurich, Switzerland and includes many of the most popular passes in the Alps.
  • Attractions include Chamonix-Mont Blanc (including riding a cable car to the top of Mont Blanc), and the Matterhorn Peak - one of the few places in Europe where it's possible to ski every month of the year.
  • The size of the tour group will be limited to about ten motorcycles, making it possible for to enjoy the smaller, more intimate lodging and dining that distinguish our tours.  Ayres Adventures are not designed for the masses.

Meals and Accommodations:
    All breakfasts and 11 dinners are included and meals always include non-alcoholic beverages.We don’t contract with hotels or restaurants for limited selection meals; riders order from the standard menu at top-notch restaurants.  The quality of meals and accommodations during an Ayres Adventure are but one distinguishing feature of our trips. Lodging ranges from comfortable upper-middle class hotels to luxury accommodations and small, boutique hotels that don’t attempt to attract large groups.

Ride Profile:
     Average daily riding distances are very modest and vary depending on the type of roads traveled. The ride provides plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and to soak up the local culture.  Routes are entirely paved.
