AMA 100th Anniversary Alps Challenge 3
Facts
Daily distances: 185-248 km, 115-154 miles
Starting from Nice, France on the Mediterranean Sea, ride North into the French Alps and enjoy all their glory!
The third stage of the AMA Alps Challenge will definitely be the icing on the cake!
While Part 1 was all about Austria, Italy, and the Dolomites, Part 2 showed you around Switzerland and introduced you to the French Alps, the third challenge will get your mind blown and top it off with almost 30 passes!
Starting at the French Riviera in Nice, the deep blue ocean and vibes will give you an immediate sense of the savoir-vivre. The city itself is worth an extra day or two, it gives you the ability not just to see this amazing place but also to settle into the European time difference.
As soon as we´re off, we´ll head north and will soon cross the border with Italy, ticking off the first passes of the tour we´ll spend the night in a typical picturesque mountain village. In the next few days we´ll switch from the Italian to the French side several times. You tell us what side is more beautiful!
We´ll reach the most northern point of the tour, just a little south of Chamonix, where we´ll spend time in the Alps Challenge 2. On our way back we´ll stay in the French Alps and we´re pretty sure you can´t keep count of the switchbacks you ride everyday. Passing the popular skiing area of Valloire and several Tour de France passes will give you the best motorcycle riding ever!
