10 reasons to take part in the Edelweiss World Tour
14 Dec 2016
Escape the daily (motorcycle-) grind
… smoothly paved roads, a common language and familiar surroundings.
Say goodbye to all this and discover the vast array of new and foreign countries on our planet; ride through breath-taking canyons and conquer off-road tracks that simply do not exist at home.
Experience new cultures
… whether it’s a former German colony in Africa, exotic food in Bolivia, a completely unknown religion in Thailand or quite simply the different attitudes and lifestyles of far-off countries, this is the tour for you!
A “safe” adventure
… it’s an adventure, but with a safety net. Professional planning concerning routes, hotels, etc.; experienced tour guides; a support vehicle, just in case; excellent local contacts and so much more.
Broaden your horizons
Think you know Russia? Really!?
Consider Columbia too dangerous? No, it’s not!
Edelweiss will assist you to travel safely through unknown countries, meet people you never would have met otherwise and learn about their life and culture.
Improve your riding skills
Although a good amount of riding skill is necessary to participate on this tour you will find that at the end your riding skills will have increased dramatically. The vast variety of terrain and roads will allow you to improve far beyond what would be possible at home.
Meet like-minded riders
This tour is for those, who “always wanted to experience more”.
Do something extraordinary
Package tourism is for beginners; but how many people have travelled around the world by motorcycle?
Experience “the world”
Ride your bike through the foreign and the exotic; break free of your comfort zone.
Conquer limits
Not just borders between two countries that you have never visited before, but also your own personal boundaries and limits as you continue to grow during the tour.
Collect unforgettable memories
Whether it’s an especially challenging gravel road in the Chinese mountains, meeting the locals in a small village in Africa, or the taste of a cold beer after a beautiful days’ ride in Peru, these experiences will leave indelible impressions that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
