Life is Beautiful - Alpine Wonderland

Day 9: Bormio - Seefeld Like every good fairy tale, also this one must come to an end. However, for the last riding day we have prepared quite a challenging and incredible route! The first pass will be Forcola di Livigno, followed by a stop in this duty free town. We then leave Livigno with the tunnel leading us into Switzerland, where we climb pass del Fuorn and then Umbrail pass. A few more hairpins and we are on top of the King of the passes: Stelvio!  Day 8: Lake Garda to Bormio   It's time to ride towards north and climb some higher passes. Today we have a two course pass menu: first the very quiet and stunning Passo di Croce Domini, followed by the famous and narrow Passo Gavia. Our destination is Bormio, important thermal bath amidst high mountains.. Day 7: Verona to the Garda lake  It was another day with perfect weather.  The roads were small and never straight.  Also almost no traffic.  Actually it almost can't be better.  Our day ended with a ferry crossing over the Garda lake were we slept in a hotel just on the lake shaw.  Day 6: Bassano - Verona  These two towns are only about an hour apart but we will of course take the long way round, climbing half a dozen passes. Some of them are on very, very narrow roads. Quite a challenging yet rewarding ride! Well done every one!  Day 5: Bassano del Grappa rest day We are already about half way of our tour, time flies when you love what you are doing, isn't it? So for today we have a couple of options: Lukas is going wth David and Vicky by train to Venice (as it's just a short ride across the Po Valley and it's no fun by bike, much better to sit back and relax on the train) and Manuel goes for a short sightseeing ride to Marostica, Asolo and Villa di Maser with Ross, Tania, Jan and Dennis. Just to proof that we have been to Venice some impressions of the city.   We haf a wonderful relaxed day with some boat trips using the public transtran systems of the city.   We had literally a triathlon today.  First the train then the boats and in the afternoon we went for biking again to use as much of our time as possible.   Day 4: Cison to Bassano del Grappa  Day 3: Cornaiano - Cison Blue sky and warm morning breeze over the vineyards is just the perfect way to start the day. Ahead us the mighty Dolomites. We will cross them west-east,, ending our route at the feet of the Alps in the homeland of prosecco wine.. Day 2 - Seefeld - Cornaiano We start with a big shot: Timmelsjoch / Passo del Rombo, towering at 2500m right on the Austrian-Italian border is quite a delight! The weather is simply perfect today, allowing some gorgeous vistas towards endless peeks. Before lunch we have some time to explore the fairly big collection of the motorcycle museum on the pass road. In the evening - several passes later - we reach Cornaiano (near Bolzano, main town of South Tyrol region in Italy), placed in the idyllic wine road area. Day 1 - Welcome to Seefeld! What a fantastic setup for a tour start! In the prestigious and sunny Seefeld Manuel and Lukas are welcoming a very small and special group for this motorcycle royal tour across the Alps, mostly in Italy. Tania & Ross arrived a day early, perfectioning their skills on tight hairpins with our riding school, and together with Jan & Dennis and Victoria & David will enjoy the next days riding some of the finest roads of the Alps.
