SELF GUIDED - Motorcycle tour Extreme Alps Italian and Swiss

The Alps, the real, like you would never have imagined! Those who are fascinated by the challenges will probably like this proposal, challenging but not impossible, a well-thought-out mix of mountain passes through the magnificent Alpine chain of Switzerland and Italy. A real playground for motorcyclists, a challenge on the most beautiful and panoramic roads. The Swiss Confederation is by definition the "State of the crossings" and there is no itinerary that does not foresee the crossing of more than one. The "Four passes", all over 2000 meters and accessible only in summer, as well as a must for motorcyclists from all over Europe, are a wonderful journey into the heart of the Alps to relive the myth of the Alpine Post. A unique occasion. You will discover spectacular panoramas, dominated by imposing glaciers, turquoise lakes, deep gorges and characteristic villages. The journey continues through the Italian Alps, including the fantastic climbs to the Stelvio and Gavia passes, towards Merano, where you will begin your return to Milan to finish this challenging tour.
