Bmw motorcycles are the ones you love? Then you've come to the right place on our tour because we have the ultimate Bmw experience for you. Because we ride from Barcelona to Seefeld in 9 days on BMW motorcycles only and then we go to the BMW Days in Garmisch! That sounds good? It gets even better because we will travel to 7 countries in the 10 days of riding. Our tour starts here in Barcelona and from there we head north to the Pyrenees including Andorra. From there we continue through France on narrow little roads, through gorges until we reach the Alps. Chamonix/ Mont-Blanc still in France will be the start of an unforgettable Alpine tour. From there we head to Switzerland and then on to Italy. The last 2 countries are Austria and Germany. And the combination of the four countries will be the rollercoaster moment of the tour. Because every day is filled with breathtaking passes that make the motorcyclist's heart beat faster. Passes like: "Bernina Pass (2314m)" - "Furka Pass (2431m)"-"Grimsel Pass (2165m)"-"Julierpass/Pass dal Güglia (2284)"-"Passo dello Spluga/Splügen Pass (2115m)"-"Passo dello Stelvio/Stilfser Joch (2720m)"-"San Bernardino, Passo del"-"Susten Pass (2224m)" These are just a few from our alpine ride. But don't think that the rest of the tour is less exciting!!! We will start with “Port d'Envalira (2408m)”-“Port de Pailhères (2001)” to give you an example. You see this tour is something very special! 2500 km of pure riding pleasure and the perfect start to the BMW days in Garmisch.And if you want to see and learn more about our tour then check out our blog every day.

A new day, a new route!!! Today our journey continues towards the Alps, or rather we make our way to Chamonix, the entrance to the motorcyclists' paradise of the Alps. But don't worry, that doesn't mean this day was boring!!! Directly after Aix-les-Bains we went straight up to the “Belvédère du Revard” for a photo and a last look down into the valley to Aix-les-Bains. From there we had to concentrate and focus on the road because some of the cows crossing the road had left us something behind. Apart from that, the ride down and up to the Col de Plainpalais (1174 m) was a real dream. Almost no traffic and breathtaking nice curvy roads. One more thing: today was our first day with normal temperatures (23 - 30 C), what a relief!!! Once we reached the bottom of the valley, it was time to get off the bike as the enchanting town of Annecy on the lake of the same name was at the top of our to-do list for today! Annecy is also known as the little Venice and for good reason. Because the lake flows into a 3.6 km long river that runs directly through the picturesque little town and therefore has numerous bridges. After a coffee and our exploration, we continued towards lunchtime. Of course we could have eaten right there, but it was getting dangerously warm again, so we decided to have lunch on a terrace high above the lake. A top location to enjoy. And even though we would have preferred to stay there, it was time to set off as we still had 160 km to go. For the rest of the day, we continued to delve deeper into the Alps on indescribably beautiful roads and passes. Col du Marais + “Croix-Fry, Col de la” + “Aravis, Col des” turned the afternoon into a wonderful day of riding. All in all: This day is something to be proud of - in every respect. Well, and now we are at the foot of the world-famous Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, and will spend the night here before crossing the border into Switzerland tomorrow. After so much text, it's time for a few pictures to give you a better impression of today. Have fun and see you tomorrow Felix and Axel

It's day 8 of our trip and today we are traveling from Switzerland to Italy and back to Switzerland for a good reason!!!! Or rather for the best reason - beautiful passes in the middle of the Alps!!! First we went over the St. Gotthard Pass, which is a dream, because since the tunnel was built in 1970, hardly anyone has driven on the pass road. But even though the pass is a great start to the day, we had to keep going, because behind us a very dark cloud cover was approaching which didn't look like much fun. So after a few photos, we headed down into the valley to escape the rain. At the bottom, the rain clouds disappeared in the rear-view mirror and in front of us blue skies that promised another breathtaking day. After a coffee stop, we headed for the 2nd of 5 passes. The Passo di San Bernardino (2067 m) was our next destination. At the beginning there was a bit of traffic but at the end the sea of tourists cleared and we enjoyed every meter. We then continued towards the Passo dello Spluga (Splügen Pass 2115 m). And as the name suggests, this was the point where we left Switzerland behind us and entered Italy for the first time on the tour. Once we reached the top, it was also lunch time - Italy style!!! Gnocchi for everyone. And even though I've written it many times here on the blog, the Alps playground is a dream for every motorcyclist and it can't be mentioned often enough!!!! Admittedly, the path down from the Passo dello Spluga is not for everyone, as the hairpin bends are quite demanding. But in our case, I had no worries and our group made its way down into the valley. Once we reached the bottom, it was time to head back up again and we crossed the border into Switzerland to enjoy pass 4 and 5 of the day. First, after the border, we went up the Maloja Pass and then finished off today's final stage with the “Julierpass/Pass dal Güglia (2284)”. It was a brilliant day and tomorrow will actually be the final of the passes, because tomorrow we're going up the “Passo dello Stelvio/Stilfser Joch (2720m)”. So look forward to tomorrow and enjoy the pictures from today Felix and Axel
