Today held the ultimate Alpine challenge for us: the Stelvio Pass. 48 switchbacks needed to be mastered before we reached the top at 2757 meters. Everybody made it up the mountain - and then the weather turned bad. The first rain drops of the tour hit us ...

Another great tour is about to start. It has been forecast wet road but our riders don't get scared at all for just few drops and after the first hour we reach the Loiblpass, the first border of the day. The transition from Austria into Slovenia goes ...

It all started out with a welcome briefing hold by the tour guides. Their real reason was to tease us with descriptions, pictures and stories about what to come. We took off on a sunny morning heading towards the Alps, our playground for the next thirteen days ...

Here we go: the Alps Touring Center crew has been briefed, the motorcycles were handed over and are ready to go. Tomorrow we are on our way to Germany - hopefully the food is as good as it was today...

This special High Alpine Tour was customized for a group of Brazilians doctors and turned out to be a real Alpine Adventure tour: We are already half way through! Before we started our adventure in Erding most of the group had spent a few days in ...

Today Austria's highest pass waited for us: the Großglockner High Alpine Road. The sun was out early, so the weather provided the perfect background for the beautiful scenery of Austria's highest mountain. Unfortunately the blogger doesn't have many pictures of today - as he was busy preparing ...

Today every rider (and passenger) is facing a hard decision: rest day enjoying the breathtaking view from our Villa in liberty style and maybe take a walk around the old historical centre of Maratea and its Marina at the feet of the cliff... or join us for ...

Summer is here! The sun brought the temperatures up to about 75°F - not hot enough for any tourmember to jump into Lake Hallstatt. Instead everybody enjoyed the picnic at the lake shore. The afternoon provided us with a few quite challenging pass roads - good practice ...

What a day! The weather turned out much better than the forecast, giving us the chance to visit the Eagle's Nest. More mountain riding followed - making us hungry enough to sample some of Austria's greatest pastries in the middle of the mountains. Life is good!
