This 9-day Alpine Adventure includes the most popular riding destinations in the Swiss Alps and Italian Dolomites. Features of the tour include:

  • Accommodations vary from comfortable upper middle-class hotels to Five-Star accommodations – clearly a cut above th level of amenities offered with most other tours. Most dining will be a la carte, with many dinners in intimate, upscale restaurants. 
  • The tour begins and ends in Zurich, Switzerland and includes the most popular Alpine passes, including the famous Stelvio Pass.
  • The size of the tour group will be limited to about ten motorcycles, making it possible for to enjoy the smaller, more intimate lodging and dining that distinguish our tours.  Ayres Adventures are not designed for the masses.
  • Overnight stays include 5-star accommodations in Merano, Italy and St. Moritz, Switzerland
  • A visit to the smallest country in the world, Liechtenstein.  This small landlocked country, tucked away in the Alps between Austria and Switzerland, is the only absolute monarchy in Europe.
