City & Alpine Adventure
City & Alpine Tour is Eleven days of exhilarating riding and great hotels based in the Cities & Alps. It is a well paced tour with 200 daily mileages in the Alps, and a free day in Austria city. Ideal for couples, first time Alpine riders or those looking for a more relaxed tour it should still not be underestimated. Alpine riding can be challenging and demanding and 200 miles in the Alps is plenty for the majority of riders, the Stelvio Pass being particularly demanding.
You will start with a longer day after an early Eurotunnel crossing to get some miles done towards Luxembourg. You will be staying in the city for your welcome dinner. From Luxembourg you are heading South into Germany heading for the Black Forest. You will be staying in a pretty small town in the middle of the Black Forest, pefect for a 2 day stay. The following day we will visit the Mercedes museum, if you prefer not to do this you can take a local train and visit a nearby working brewery. Your route continues South through the Black Forest and along the shore of Lake Constance for our 5 day stay in Austria at a BMW test ride Hotel. Here you can explore the Stelvio, Timmelsjoch, Silvretta Pass, Livigno Dam & tunnel. The hotel also boasts having a Sauna & Steam room. As well as our breakfast and 4 course evening meal.
After our 6 day stay we will be heading North to the city of Strasbourg, staying in the pretty area known as Petite France. We will explore the medieval city and find a restaurant for an evening meal from the many.
