BMW Motorrad Days

 

Our BMW Motorrad Days Adventure provides riders with the opportunity to enjoy some of the most popular riding in the Alps, coupled with the largest BMW party in the world - BMW Motorrad Days.

This special tour begins with a selection of a late model motorcycle from the full BMW line. Accommodations will vary from comfortable upper middle-class hotels to Five-Star accommodations – clearly a cut above what is available on other tours. Most of our 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.

The Adventure begins and ends in Zurich, Switzerland. The first riding day begins with an delightful ride to the Bavarian town of Garmisch, where BMW Motorrad Days is held. You'll arrive in Garmisch early enough to check out the opening events at this exciting event. During your stay in Garmisch you'll have plenty of time to attend the events at BMW Motorrad Days as well as enjoy some magnificent riding in the area. You can either take off on one of our guided tours of the area or strike out on your own.

From Garmisch you'll ride the Alps through Austria and into Italy, surrounded by the Italian Dolomites. The scenery and landscapes are absolutely stunning. You'll enjoy a great overnight stay in Corvara, with amazing views of the Dolomites.

You'll also enjoy a stay in 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. And we know you'll enjoy the 5-Star hotel that we use in the town.

As for the riding, you'll experience some of the most famous passes in the Alps, including perhaps the most famous pass of all - the Stelvio.
