Touring Center Norway

Every now and then we, as human beings, do something rather memorable. Many times it involves a vacation trip of a very special nature. For my wife, Claudia, and I, our Edelweiss Touring Center Norway motorcycle trip during July, 2015 was such an event. We’ve done a lot of motorcycling over the past 45 years, including a full-circle U.S.A. ride, but this was our first organized ride with a motorcycle touring company ... and it was well worth every cent spent! It's all about meeting new people and seeing new places, and Edelweiss does a great job of providing the opportunity in the best way possible ... on two wheels! It’s really not fair that any one country should be blessed with so many kilometers of stunningly beautiful riding roads and scenery, and that so much of it can be enjoyed so easily utilizing Edelweiss’ Touring Center concept, but such is the case in Norway. Our hotel in Alesund was first rate, and in the capable hands of our Italian guide, Manuel, we were stress free to the point where all we had to do was focus on riding and enjoying the whole experience ... no worries, mate! We’ll take that kind of responsibility any day! We’d like to see Edelweiss expands its Touring Center concept beyond Norway and the Dolomites, and we hope that Manuel is still leading tours when he’s in his 60’s. Speaking of the Touring Center Dolomites ... hmmm ... 2016 is upon us!
