Motorcycle Tour of the Alps

"Official Travel Partner of BMW Motorrad"

Alpine Escape

Our 6-day Alpine Escape begins with a selection of a late model motorcycle from the full BMW line. Accommodations include luxury spa resorts in the Stelvio National Park and in St. Moritz. Dining will be a la carte, with many dinners in intimate, upscale restaurants. You will never be presented with a limited-choice, “tourist” menu on any of our tours, and non-alcoholic beverages are always included with your meal.

The size of the tour group will be limited to about ten motorcycles, making it possible for us to enjoy the smaller, more intimate lodging and dining that distinguish our Adventures. The Alpine Escape is not a tour designed for the masses.

The itinerary of The Alpine Escape includes:

The Alpine Escape begins and ends in Zurich, Switzerland, starting in the "Valais" region - the heart of the Alps and home to the country's highest peaks and extreme mountain terrain.
Cannobio, a charming Italian village that has managed to preserve its rich architectural and historical heritage as well as its natural lake and mountain setting. The village is located on the shores of Lake Maggiore - Italy's second largest lake.
Bormio, located in the Livignese National Park in the midst of the Rhaetian Alps, between the famous Stelvio and Bernina Passes.
The Italian Dolomites, including one of the highest and most popular passes in the Alps – Passo Di Gavia (Many motorcyclists consider the pass their favorite in all of the Alp
The most famous motorcycle pass in all of Europe – the Stelvio Pass. The pass has more than 40 very sharp hairpin turns on each side. The scenery is indescribably – it must be seen to be believed. We'll stop at the top of the Stelvio for photos and a refreshing hot drink at one of the snack bars or restaurants.
St. Moritz – one of the most famous towns in Switzerland. St. Moritz is renowned for beautiful landscapes, high fashion, fine cuisine and great hospitality. Chances are you’ll have a great day in St. Moritz, as the sun shines an average of 322 days per year.
The smallest country in the world, Liechtenstein. This small landlocked country, tucked away in the Alps between Austria and Switzerland, is also known as a tax haven. The country is the only absolute monarchy in Europe

Meals and Accommodations:
    Most breakfasts and all dinners are included, and meals always include non-alcoholic beverages. We don’t contract with hotels or restaurants for limited selection meals; riders order from the standard menu at top-notch restaurants. The quality of meals and accommodations during an Ayres Adventure are but one distinguishing feature of our trips. Lodging ranges from comfortable upper-middle class hotels to luxury accommodations and small, boutique hotels that don’t attempt to attract large groups.
